CHAPTER 6
THE MYSTICAL VISION OF DIVINE WEEPING
For I am love sick (Song of Songs 2:5). Israel said to God, “Master of the universe: all the travails which the nations of the world bring upon me are all because I love you.” (Shir ha-Shirim Rabbah 2:5:1)
We noted in the previous chapter that Rabbi Shapira sets aside certain conventional theological explanations of suffering and national catastrophe, in particular, the notion of suffering as punishment for sin. In this chapter we shall present the development of his views on the meaning of Israel’s suffering more fully.
