Parsha:
Description
Does God care about how we are dealing with our heavy and ongoing losses of family, friends and community members? About our being attacked on multiple fronts as our hostages remain in Gaza? About all the ordinary people doing extraordinary acts to keep going despite the trauma and challenges? These questions and doubts are not new. In this week’s Haftarah, Yeshayahu addresses this question as he hears his fellow Jews doubting (see Ibn Ezra’s Isaiah 40:27) that God even notices their actions. Yeshayahu responds: “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Eternal is God from of old, Creator of the earth from end to end, Who never grows faint or weary…” (ibid:28).
