Ep. 84 // "When We Run Out of Answers" w/ R' Gershon Schusterman

Reb Gershon Schusterman grew up in Brooklyn and today lives in Los Angeles. Almost forty years ago he was on shlichus in Long Beach, California when his first wife and mother of their eleven children suddenly passed away. In the years since he remarried, raised his children and continued to build his life, but he has also spent his time thinking about the religious and chassidic approach processing tragedy. Not just what the texts say about it, but what they can't say, the space of faith that is beyond answers. In this episode we discuss his upbringing and how it framed his approach to dealing with personal tragedy. ____ His book, "Why G-d Why" can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Believe-Heaven-When-Hurts-Like/dp/0826608469 ____ Support this podcast at: https://www.hflpodcast.com/donate If you would like to sponsor an episode or advertise on the podcast please reach out to bentzi@yuvlamedia.com ____ This week's episode is brought to you by "This World Is A Garden," a new film and live concert production by Yuvla Media based on the Rebbe's first talk, Bosi Lgani.
