Dear friends,

Our hearts are heavy upon hearing of the terrible tragedy that occurred in Meron. We join with Jews the world over in mourning those who have passed away, and we pray for the injured, many of whom are fighting for their lives. Please take a moment to say a prayer here. May G-d send them a complete recovery and may we only share good news.

Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

On the one hand, G‑d says in His Torah, “I am G‑d, your healer.”

On the other hand, the same Torah says that if you’re hurting, you should go to a doctor, “and he shall surely heal.”

So is it G‑d that heals or the doctor that heals?

It is G‑d that heals, and only G‑d that heals, because all healing is a miracle.

But how does G‑d heal? Through a doctor. As the Talmud says, “A doctor is licensed by G‑d to heal.”

Because G‑d is found within His world, and when it comes to healing, He is found in the prescription of a doctor.

Trust in G‑d. See a good doctor.
