The universe doesn't always make sense. There is no guarantee of good fortune for good behavior; Crazy injustice is part of the enigma of the world and of our brief lives. My friends this is the thought I want to leave with you. Who is it in history that suffers ordeal after ordeal? Plundering after plundering? Massacre after massacre? Century after century? Yet looks up at the sky, sometimes with dying eyes and cries, The Lord our G-d, the Lord is one!! Who until then will leave the fearful mystery of undeserved suffering to G-d and praise his name saying the Lord has given and the lord taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Amen;
