#EyalGiladNaftali — Rabbi Weinreb webcast
After the unprecedented unity of 18 days of shared grief, fear and hope, Klal Yisrael now confronts difficult questions, some unanswerable. Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President, Emeritus, of the Orthodox Union, addressed the topic:
“Were Our Tears Shed in Vain? A Torah Response to an Unspeakable Tragedy”
Rabbi Weinreb’s gentle words of consolation, especially to the parents of “our” three boys, was webcast live from Congregation Tifereth Israel in Passaic, NJ.
In his remarks, Rabbi Weinreb, a longtime congregational rabbi and psychologist, discusses facing pain, empathy with the pain of others, the real meaning of Ahavas Yisrael, unanswered prayers, where God fits in, lessons for parents, a special message for teens, suffering for the Land of Israel, and the path ahead.
