Learning from the Events of the World

"Hayoser goyim halo yochiach," when Hashem sends suffering on nations, isn’t He showing something? "Hamelamed adam daas," isn’t He teaching man daas (knowledge)? So when we hear about what happened in the world, it shouldn’t merely be "current events." Whatever happens in the world is enough to deceive other people, making them think it’s a world of gashmius (physicality). But for us the events of the world should teach us more knowledge of Hashem. — Return to Hashem (#842)
