The lesson God and Suffering – Wrestling with Faith After the Holocaust is a 90-minute session for adults that explores Jewish theological responses to evil and suffering, particularly in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Participants engage in reflection, text study, and personal exploration to examine how Jewish thinkers have grappled with belief in a good and powerful God amid unimaginable tragedy. Through writings from figures like Richard Rubenstein, Eliezer Berkovits, Emil Fackenheim, and others, the session highlights a range of theological perspectives - from the silence or hiddenness of God to the insistence on human responsibility and moral action. Participants are invited to articulate their own responses to suffering, reflect on the concept of covenant, and consider how these ideas shape their understanding of prayer, justice, and Jewish identity. The lesson emphasizes that wrestling with faith is a deeply Jewish act, one that honors the complexity of belief in a broken world.
