Letter & Spirit: Where Was G-d During the Holocaust?
In this week’s edition of Letter and Spirit, in honor of the three weeks – a time of reflection on the tragedies which befell the Jewish people over the centuries – we present a letter from the Rebbe in which he addresses the question regarding the terrible fate that overcame European Jewry two decades earlier, and how to reconcile this with the basic beliefs of Judaism. The letter was written in English through the Rebbe’s trusted secretary Rabbi Nissan Mindel, and was made available by the latter’s son-in-law, Rabbi Sholom Ber Shapiro.
