Stranger In A Strange Land by Rabbi Marc Gitler

EVENT HOSTED AND CO-SPONSORED BY SHALOM PARK and VALLEY BEIT MIDRASH

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.
