Episode Description

Suffering and misery are the most vexing issues in the human
condition. Their resolution lies not in theological
explanations per se, but rather in faith; faith that in this life we do not
have the whole picture. We are experiencing a mere fragment of the greater
reality, and that greater reality is beautiful and loving— part of the masterplan
of a loving Hashem. This powerful, redemptive meta view emerges as the picture
theme of our parsha.
