Description

Rabbi Asher Resnick’s Book debut is here.

Rabbi Resnick’s new book – Pain is a Reality, Suffering is a Choice – provides a personal and profoundly human Torah perspective on some of life’s most basic and essential questions. He draws on his own personal experience and a wealth of classical Jewish sources to shed light on how the Torah views difficulties and challenges. In response to the tragic illness and loss of his 14-yr-old daughter, Rabbi Asher Resnick of Jewish Clarity devoted decades of study to comprehend and share the Jewish perspective on understanding Divine Justice. This book is a culmination of that work. “A most remarkable work that only a most sensitive talmid chacham who himself lived through that harrowing pain can produce. The reader will gain great insight and knowledge from studying the deep and powerful topics that he presents- so thoroughly, clearly, and poignantly.” -Rav Ahron Lopiansky, Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva of Greater Washington About the Author:
