God On Trial Page #5

Synopsis: Wondering about the meaning and modalities of their triage, presumably to live or burn, Jewish Auschwitz barrack mates start to debate on how or why God can allow (his) people to suffer such fatal misery, which even further divides a devout father and his liberal son. They eventually form a Thora court, which hears theological argumentation as well as practical considerations.

I try, but I do not know if I am a good man,

I do not know if you are an evil man.

For example, he.

I do not know.

Know me already

Do not worry.

So God reserves the right

to punish the wicked.

This is in the covenant.

The question is, why did you choose

punish this good man here ...

... and not, for

example, Hitler?

Does anyone have

an answer?

God is just;

so we have

done something wrong.

We should examine

our consciences.

In law, the punishment

should be proportional

crime.

What crime

may justify a

punished like this?

And children, some children

on the field.

What punishment is

deserves a child?

If I may?

Not long

the punishment is proportional.

The flood engulfed

Worldwide

with the exception of Noah.

God asked Abraham to

sacrifice his own son.

Sir, my mother was

a good woman.

The mistake is to make

it's personal.

God does not work

against the person.

His alliance is with

the Jewish people,

Ezra not

of Zamkevitz.

This is not personal.

Can I ask you, Ezra,

see any object in a

God is not personal?

God as the object?

Does it depend on me

use to find God?

Do you know what is a god

that is not personal?

No.

Is the weather

That's all.

Maybe we should eliminate the word now

punishment procedures

Can I ask a question?

Ezra, let me ask you,

Your mother was a good Jew?

How can you ask

So even here?

Let me talk about something.

Let's talk

purification.

Twice in history,

and perhaps here today again

God has done events occur

of such destruction,

that after this, nothing

was the same again.

Nothing was the same

because, over time,

we come to understand

all improved.

Imagine that God

is a surgeon,

and has to remove a leg or an arm

with gangrene to heal the body.

It is a violent act.

It's painful.

But it is love.

What would

if we were living through

a moment like this?

No punishment,

purification.

Let me ask you ... of its time.

Time is what we have.

These purifications

are in your covenant?

You say, occasionally,

no more betting,

e inundare the place?

Sometimes, just for

a change, you're ...

surrounded and

you'll be whipped,

you bring dogs,

and I cornered

in a field ...

since you ask ...

The first purification

was the flood.

The second was

the destruction of the temple

by Nebuchadnezzar.

We were taken

into exile in Babylon.

We were one nation

without a country.

With no land,

went to the world,

and take our

knowledge of the Torah

and only God Almighty,

into the open.

If we had stayed as

we would have achieved so much?

We would be a tribe

the desert, nothing more.

It was painful, but

also was wonderful

What if we were going

other catastrophic event?
