Description

There are two ways to love G-d in the face of suffering. Ahava she’teluya bedaver (conditional love) is attained by intellectually understanding the events of our lives that occurrences that seem bad can really be good. Ahava she’eina teluya bedaver (unconditional love) is blindly accepting that everything is good, without even attempting to understand G-d's ways. It is impossible to understand G-d's ways, even when they seem good. Emuna (trust) enables us to connect, to some degree, to G-d’s infinite love.
