Jews have often asked why God could allow such events to occur.
The Talmud tells of a rabbi who was also an excellent healer.
Someone said to him if God wanted the man to be well, God wouldn’t let him be ill.
The rabbi replied, if God wanted people to be ill, then he wouldn’t have created the medicines to help people become well.
If God is all-powerful and all-knowing, then he must be able to see the future. so, why doesn’t he intervene or stop tragedies happening? (to do so would mean that people don’t have free will)
