This class attempts to address the issue of human suffering in general, including the difficult issue of “Why bad things happen to good people.” Judaism does not view suffering as a series of random occurrences, rather as Divinely guided challenges sent to benefit us. This shiur follows the principle of Rav Chaim Friedlander commenting on Daas Tevunos by the Ramchal that Judaism cannot attribute specific reasons to explain individual cases of suffering. However, Judaism can offer a range of reasons to explain why suffering and adversity occur in general.
