The Silence of God in the 21st Century (S3, E19)

from Judaism in the 21st Century · host Steven Labkoff, MD & Rabbi Daniel Cohen

In this episode of Judaism in the 21st Century, Steven Labkoff and Rabbi Daniel Cohen explore a question many modern Jews quietly carry: Is God silent today, or have we lost the ability to listen? They look back to Joseph as a model for sensing God’s presence without direct revelation, and they discuss why Judaism may see “hiddenness” not as abandonment, but as an invitation to grow faith and spiritual resilience. From Purim’s concealed providence to the everyday miracles we often take for granted, the conversation turns practical: prayer as a daily exercise in gratitude, and “radical amazement” as a way to notice what is right in front of us.
