Gabriel Mizrahi

There's something to learn wherever you go.

I just, I keep thinking about the opportunity cost of this kind of counseling, the therapeutic experience that could have happened with a different approach, a different kind of training, maybe more time, more space, more openness.

It's not the only thing that concerns me, but it's one of the things that concerns me.

But that doesn't mean it doesn't come at a cost.

Black Jews, yeah.

OK, you're sure that's what he said?

Sorry, I thought the rabbi was telling the story about his own sister.

And you're sure that's what the rabbi meant when he said that?

This story you just told, which sounds pretty absurd, I guess I have a couple of thoughts.

One is people are flawed and they can say whatever they want and they can interpret their doctrine however they want.

And so if that's the way this guy feels, that's the way this guy feels.

It's not what I happen to know about Judaism.

In fact, this question of why...

bad things happen to good people is one of the most interesting questions that gets explored in Judaism.

I remember when I was in high school, I went to a Jewish liberal high school, like pretty mainstream, but Jewish.

And so we had to take Jewish studies and philosophy and stuff.

And I remember tackling that exact question.

And the little bit we studied when we were 16 years old was much more nuanced and much more interesting than the take that you just shared with us.

So I'm a little bit surprised.

To hear it, but again, people from all faiths can say all sorts of things.
