Title: Towards greater Bitachon or trust in God
Review: This work is commendable in its goal. Its aims to teach greater trust in God.No doubt that those who have greater trust in God, are more at peace with themselves and the world.I too would have greater trust in God.However there are real questions as to how far one should go in sacrificing one's intellect , one's questioning faculty, one's respect for truth in seeking out trust in God. After all the seal of God is Truth.There is also the question of whether one does not undermine faith by presenting a picture of Perfection which is not realistic and true.Wagschall does not really tackle the questions of the tremendous evils and injustices which are so great a part of Jewish and human history.I wonder if there is not a wiser way a more courageous way in Trust of God, perhaps more related to Job's "Though he slay me yet I will trust in Him"
