WHY G-D WHY

Why, God, Why?
How to Believe in Heaven When it Hurts like Hell

Rabbi Gershon Schusterman knew all the textbook answers when comforting bereaved community members who asked him, “Where is God? If God is loving, how could this happen?”

But when the rabbi’s young wife died suddenly, leaving him a 38- year-old widower with eleven children to raise, he found himself reeling. His personal quest for answers to these timeless questions led him to a deeper exploration of Judaism’s teachings about how to cope with and transcend tragedy, teachings that have provided comfort and understanding to millions of people throughout the generations.

Written for anyone who has also endured devastating loss, this wise and sensitive guide will help you:

> Work through your grief while not becoming stuck in grief
> Grow toward a hopeful, future-oriented perspective—because life is
meant to be lived
> Realize that the soul lives eternally on a higher plane
> Develop a personal relationship with God that
opens a channel for both challenging communication
as well as comforting resolution

This is a book for all times and for people of all faiths—or even no faith at all. It is a book about moving from darkness to light, toward God, and ultimately toward hope.
