Hi,
Responses to the Roman destruction of the second Beit haMikdash, and the massacre of Jews:
"Abba Chanan said: Psalm 89 says, "Who is like You, mighty Gd?" Who is like You, mighty and tough, such that You hear the mockery and blasphemy of wicked Titus and You are silent?
"In the yeshiva of R' Yishmael they taught: Exodus 15 says, "Who is like You among the mighty [אלים]" – "Who is like You among the mute [אלמים]".
(Talmud, Gittin 56b)
Have a good day,
Mordechai

Was this because you were having a hard time finding Gd?
ReplyDeleteNo more than usual, I think! I used it in a class that week, though, so I had it at hand.
