What you'll find
This publication provides a deep ethical lesson on faith and divine guidance, using a powerful story from the Holocaust to illustrate trust in Hashem's plan, even when it is not understood.
Summary
This essay on Parshas Nitzavim explores the verse "Uvacharta bachaim" (Choose life), explaining through Rashi that Hashem's guidance is like a loving father directing his child to the best choice. A Holocaust story from Bergen-Belsen illustrates how apparent misfortune—being beaten and having poisoned rolls stolen—was actually Divine protection, teaching that emunah means trusting Who is guiding us, not always understanding why.
