Rabbi Kushner says God is not all powerful but cares
West Palm Beach report details Rabbi Harold Kushner explaining that God does not push our strings or send disasters, yet provides strength and grace to endure. He cites personal tragedy, the death of his son Aaron from progeria, and his bestseller When Bad Things Happen to Good People. Kushner argues a just benevolent God vs. a powerful one, and urges focusing on present response rather than blame.
