When his wife — the mother of their 11 children — died unexpectedly at age 36, Rabbi Gershon Schusterman’s faith was nearly broken. In his grief, the respected community rabbi and author delved into the great moral and spiritual questions of life: Why is there evil in the world? Is there purpose in all the suffering we see? He challenged classic Jewish teachings to offer satisfying answers, and he began to understand that we are not victims of random occurrences. We can choose a response to transcend our grief and embrace a life-affirming, optimistic path forward.

Rabbi Schusterman will be interviewed by Megan Maurer.
