Parshat Shemot (7:18)
The deepest level of slavery is when there is no “ow”, it hurts. A person who is accustomed to suffer will accept further suffering without complaint. Rabbi Dovber Pinson looks at the Kabalistic interpretation of Parshat Shemot and brings out a point in our daily lives; sometimes we get stuck at a certain story.; if we believe in our limitations then they become true

When Bad Things Happen in G-d’s World (52:28)
We can not deal with human suffering without taking G-d into consideration. Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet clarifies how G-d runs his world and how free choice can lead to beauty or horror. G-d chose Egypt to enslave the Jewish people, but the Egyptians chose to torture and murder us; the Nazis operated the crematorium, not G-d

Why Me, G-d? Where Is G-d When It Hurts? (40:10)
Open a newspaper anywhere, any day, and you will see headlines screaming of pain and sadness. Since the days of Job, man has asked the same question over and over: Why me, G-d? We may never comprehend G-d, but we should know that G-d, Who understands the purpose of pain, feels the intensity of our suffering; every tear we shed becomes His
