Yesterday, in Rabbi Wolpe's Torah study class, he began the discussion of the book of Job. We have been urging him to teach Job for at least two years. He seemed reluctant, I'm not sure why.
In the first verse, the narrator describes Job as "blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil". In verse 8, God describes Job in exactly the same words.
The primary issue is: does God allow bad things to happen to good people, and if so, why. I am looking forward to the classes that are to follow.
