Stranger In A Strange Land

A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Marc GitlerAbout The Event:Join Rabbi Marc for a thought-provoking exploration of one of Judaism’s most foundational questions. We remember the Exodus from Egypt every single day and celebrate it yearly on Pesach, recounting the story of our people’s liberation from bondage. But this raises a profound theological challenge: why did our ancestors have to endure the suffering of enslavement in the first place? In this session, we’ll examine classical Jewish texts and contemporary interpretations to wrestle with questions of divine purpose, human suffering, and the meaning we derive from our people’s most defining narrative.Source Sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11YmCexpwsRdVJuuxt1zLQurL13LKyNJW/view?usp=share_linkAbout The Speaker:Marc Gitler is the Senior Jewish Education for Valley Beit Midrash and serves as the visiting Rabbi of Aish SanDiego.
