This conversation explored the recent tragedy in Surfside, Florida, the collapse of the&nbsp;Champlain Towers&nbsp;on Thursday, June 24, 2021, and the theological issues connected with the tragedy. Are we allowed to ask questions on G-d? What is the Jewish approach? What are&nbsp;the lessons we can all learn when so many structures are crumbling in our lives?

Unrest in America - Can We Mend the Divide?

The human body contains some 75 trillion cells. Within each cell is a nucleus. Within each nucleus is a double copy of the human genome. Each genome contains 3.1 billion letters of genetic code, enough to fill 5000 books. If I would read the chemical coding in your genome, reading one character every second, night and day, it would take 96 years just to read the description of your organism. (There is so much DNA in all the cells of our bodies, that if we stretched it out, it would reach to the moon and back, 178,000 times.) Each cell contains a blueprint of the entire body of which it is a part.&nbsp;

The Torah is compared to a living organism. One &ldquo;cell&rdquo; of Torah, an apparently tiny detail of Judaism, contains the totality of Judaism&#39;s spiritual world and outlook on life. The smallest nuance of Torah when examined well can teach you profound truths of cosmology, physics, philosophy, psychology, and history.&nbsp;

In this essay, we will explore such a &ldquo;cell&rdquo;&mdash;a single letter in the weekly Torah portion. From this single letter, you can glean a philosophical, psychological, sociological and historical perspective of the world.
