Excellent shiur.... so now my question is Hashem is One-echad. He is not Spiritual. He is the source of spirituality. Can we say Hashem is kind or no? He does act kindly with us. Yes.It seems we can say He is kind, yet based on this shiur then should we be saying He is the source of kindness and not kind? I thn kwe can say He is the source of kindness and He deals kindly with us.
Any answers?

Ultimately He deals kindly with us, but it's often difficult to see it at the time. The Holocaust.... one example. We still don't understand that. All the terrible things that happen in this world, how can we say that is kind? I don't know, all I know is that there must be a Creator who knows what He is doing, and ultimately everything will turn out for the best.
[Outside the air is full of smoke, we cannot see the harbour, we cannot see our normal view of the world, we can smell smoke and half of the east coast of Australia is burning. The sun has definitely gone dark here, and the blood has turned to blood orange.] Let us hope Moshiach isn't far off.

Keeping you all in prayers... Take care and Gd bless you all and keep all safe... amen.

Today is actually the worst it has ever been, up until now it hasn't been this bad. we are expecting a wind change this afternoon to blow it all away, but until then we're all inside with air con, apart from the poor people fighting the fires....

Leah said...

Wow, Devorah. I didn't realize just how much smoke there is by you.
I pray your air quality increases!!!!
Hang in there!!!

THanks Leah, we're ok, and now there's a volcano and earthquake happening in New Zealand. Apparently there were people sightsee-ing when the volcano erupted.

Sadly, apparently, it's not important enough for the leftist media to find it newsworthy enough to put this as news in the States. The mainstream and regular media never mentioned or mentions these terrible fires. They are too involved with the embarrassment of impeaching, when there is no crime of any sort to fit the definition of the word. The world has gone bonkers and in the meantime, H' is cleansing the physical earth all over. Signs of Moshiach! May H' protect all the innocent.

Wow! Incredible. Yes, anonymous, if it's not impeaching or slandering or...or...or....then they don't want to print it. I've all but stopped reading anything political and negative and the like.
I'm almost completely getting all of my world happenings via Torah sources(Rabbi Mendel Kessin etc.)
Stay safe Devorah!!!!
