What Is God & Why Do Bad Things Happen? (Part II)

This episode contains content that may be alarming to some listeners.

Difficult times lead us to ask: what is God and why do bad things happen?

In this two part podcast, Rabbi Patrick gives us some ideas from Jewish tradition about the nature of the Divine. In part one, we talk about the many, varied and unusual ways God is understood to exist in this world.

In part two, we get into the hard stuff: what would God want from us, and why do bad things happen?
