A great answer to that question for me. Rabbi Sacks truly was a gifted person. May his memory always be for a blessing..🕊️

[SK-jpok]

Best answer to this question that I’ve ever heard

[TheGunsamucha]

Rabbi Lord Sacks was a wonderful man. May his dear soul rest in peace and we wish his family Long Life.

[pkoven]

WOW. just WOW. the best explanation, the shortest and most eloquent. and just in time for Parshat VaEyra, when Abraham argues with G-d. our job is to keep arguing.

So powerful and so a "Rabbi Sacks" my beloved teacher מורי ורבי זצ"ל

[danielscuiry]

This is the most prophetic and honest answer I’ve ever heard from anyone. ❤️

[joerodriguez]

The world lost a very wise man when God called him home.

It’s hard to fathom during this answer he knew he was very sick but kept it private

Isaiah 55:8
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways My ways.”
It is a declaration of HaShem.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain and snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return there
without having watered the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to sow and bread to eat,
11 so My word will be that goes out from My mouth.
It will not return to Me in vain,
but will accomplish what I intend,
and will succeed in what I sent it for.
12 “Yes, you will go out with joy
and be led forth with peace.
The mountains and the hills
will break forth before you singing,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands!“

“You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips. Job 2:10

[goldashulkes]

Listen to the wisdom of this wonderful. Rabbi-Rabbi Jonathan sacks. Bad things happen to good people such as my dear father-Maurice Starr-he died-but he is for ever in my heart. There is no answer to this question but listen Rabbi Jonathan Sacks explained why?

[linusarthur]

Rabbi what scriptural proof you have, that god don't want us to know why bad things happen to good people??
