    Question for Rabbi YY

    I would like to appear live at this event
    I hope this is on topic: My friend asked me the following question: It seems like hatred and violence are on the rise. Anti Semitism , racism,bigotry, have become the norm. (In her words: We as a people are destroying the planet). Is G-d telling us we need a reset.? She also asked why G-d brought on the flood. I feel like I cannot just tell her that this is beyond logic. Not everyone has learned these concepts yet, it has to first be internalized

    The election has been making everyone crazy I guess b/c we can't allow the unknown seeming lack of reason and truth behind it.

    There are still people today,

    many people today who stress and focus on the logic. It wasn't just the Greeks. Maybe it's easier for them to do that because the other is to be vulnerable and open and just much to difficult.

    If men don't understand us do we express ourselves so we can be understood or do we just expect them to read our minds.

    Most of us women are misunderstood. most men don't understand the woman feelings and thoughts. I always believed that men have an issue with our creation and development.

    I agree with ...

    all your points about logic. You said that it's important to be able to distinguish between what is absurd or ridiculous, (my words, maybe not the ones you used) and what is valid. But who decides what is absurd or ridiculous and what is valid? The person who I may think is being ridiculous has used their logic to convince themselves that they are indeed right, that their perspective is valid. Makes logic even more confounding and confusing. Maybe I'm taking it to the extreme, because I do embrace and use logic. It is important to harness emotions. It seems that you are saying that the deeper yearnings (those things above and beyond logic) are really the more important, the most honest and sincere way to connect with GD.
