Rabbi Shmuel Kohn, Therapist and Founder of Shloimy’s Club

When people go through a tough nisayon, it isn’t uncommon to feel angry at Hashem. A person might shut down or feel numb, and they may even feel unable to daven. This can cause a lot of inner turmoil. Where is my emunah? Do I not believe in Hashem? From the time we are young we are taught that everything that happens is from Hashem, so if I’m thinking this way, I must be a terrible person.

Or not. You may just be a person who went through a very painful experience. As humans we might feel these emotions and condemn ourselves when we do. 

Rabbi Kohn so clearly explains how feeling anger and pain or asking questions of Hashem doesn’t mean you don’t believe. There is room for both.  You are not an apikores just because you have these questions. 

Rabbi Kohn explores this concept so beautifully from therapeutic and hashkafic perspectives. Come listen and gain clarity and insight.
