Unspeakable Loss, Why Bad Things Happen to Good People

Addressing the Personal and Emotional Needs of Our Community and Answering the Most Pressing Questions of Our Lives — from the Perspective of Chassidic Thought.

Coping with Unspeakable Tragedy: How does a chassid face unspeakable loss? What do the Rebbeim tell us about tragic deaths that leave young children orphaned, crying for their mother?

This special edition of MyLife: Chassidus Applied is dedicated to Rashi Minkowicz OB”M and will address the single most difficult experience — one that no person should ever have to face: the heart wrenching feelings of personal tragedies and shattered lives. Reeling from recent untimely deaths, with many of us asking the same question that Job brazenly asked of G-d, “Why do good people suffer?”, Rabbi Jacobson will present touching and poignant letters and anecdotes from the Rebbe and Chassidus, offering empowering words of comfort and strength. Sharing the vision and direction of our Rebbeim, he will discuss how we can simultaneously cry, build, heal and forge ahead despite the difficulties.

Topics:
• Coping with unspeakable loss
• Why do bad things happen to good people?
• Do we have answers?
• Where is G-d?
• What do we say?
• What do we do?
