Why?

• Why is G-d’s knowledge of the future not a contradiction to your free choice?
• Why do women make the berachah She’asani Kirtzono?
• Why must we express gratitude to a friend if everything comes from G-d?

In this groundbreaking work, Judaism’s most challenging questions are addressed with solid proofs and spectacular stories, amassed from thirty years of intense Torah learning. Readers will come away inspired, with a lucid understanding of many of the foundational ideas in Judaism.
