Dear Uncle Norman, I received your letter and thank you for answering. Over the weekend I read over some of your sermons you sent. I specifically enjoyed the one about – "Till a hundred & twenty." Today however we received a most interesting piece of work – a letter from Shelley to "The Master of Universe" and you answer בשמו. It really קלע למטרה, and I have a few more question בנדון.1) How come G-d doesn't stop the suffering at a certain point & make it well again? Why can't He make the condition better to show His greatness & to לחזק the person's sick parent or relative or friend and he prays to G-d constantly (הרי זוהי המטרה) and even has a נצוץ של תקוה, and the end this sick person dies –הרי שבסופו של דבר, אמונתו של אדם נקטעת באיזשהו מקום. האדם סמך על הקב"ה שיעזר, התפלל בתמידות וסופו שלא נתקבלו תפילתיו. והוא אמנם אמר ומודה שהכל לטובה אך סך הכל זהו דבר שקשה מאד להבין בעצם מיואש זה ובמקום מסוים הוא מאד מאובזם וזה עלול בהחלט לערער את האמונה. אם כך אז הוא התקרב למשך התקופה שסמל ואחר כך מתרחק שוב מהקב"ה, או באופן קיצוני יותר.2) Why על חשבון the sick person? Why does he have to be sick & die if G-d wants to לקרב the other people to him? Does he get repayed בעולם הבא?Anyway, those are my questions for now. I would appreciate if you'd answer them when you have some time.Israel is beautiful obviously. There is "יריד שבוע הספר העברי" now and of course I spotted your book on one of the counters.Last night, ל"ג בעמר, the whole country was lit up with מדורות, even Shelli and Mommy made one. I went out to the Chasidic Festival and has a great time. Today, however, we just stayed home.Okay, that all for now. להשתמע!Wish you were all here.Bye, Love,YaelP.S. I notice that I should've written in Hebrew. It would've been more מובן & in only one language.
