Title: Extremely well-written, worth reading time and time again
Review: Not being of the Jewish faith, I still find Kushner's book both insightful and healing. Another reviewer criticized the book for not providing a logical and substantiated answer to the question, "Why do bad things happen?". I believe the "answer" he provides is simply this - we don't have the answers, and we probably never will. That being said, by wallowing in our own guilt, blaming others, or dwelling on the "why", I believe Rabbi Kushner suggests that we tend to forget that there are others suffering that just need our comfort and support - they don't want our answers, just our friendship, as he did with his tragedy. For oneself, don't dwell in anger, or in denial, or in blame, because sometimes things aren't your fault, and they're not God's either - let go, and move on to the healing. If this book helps people get to that stage quicker, then I think its served its purpose.
