God On Trial Page #2

we can at least

ask the saint,

that God has someone

to defend him? .. Rabbi ..

Rabbi.

They ask whether

talk to them.

It is a fool.

Look, I'm a rabbi.

I have translated

psalms.

I've written several

books on law.

I wrote a piece for our

theater in Wotchz ... Sorry

Professor Schmidt?

Idek?

They said that they had

come to America.

Nobody has escaped?

I might serve

Dayan.

Idek is the best student

I have taught.

I'll stand up ..

he does not.

please.

Please stay

out of it.

Strictly speaking,

the dayan

should be a rabbi.

Are you a rabbi?

The dayan is the

question, right?

I have a lot of questions.

Idek is a brilliant scholar.

His knowledge of

Torah is ...

Auschwitz was not

mentioned in Torah

That's the point.

So I am a father

of this court,

Baumgarten is the boss

of the court.

And our

friend here

is, dayan, the Inquisitor.

For a point of order, for

that this court is lawful,

should have a

copy of the Torah.

... We

as evidence ...

of its existence here.

Well, I'll sniff

at the library

and get one, no?

They want something more

while I'm gone?

Girls?

Cigarettes?

Cushions for their

bony back?

Rabbi Akiva

has been learned

all our holy

memory writes.

Recites

constantly.

In these sad days, we have been

a source of freshwater

He is called

"The Living Torah".

Sorry.

Over here, Rabbi.

So, for starters.

Who is charged?

Yo.

I will.

What are the charges?

Of which he is charged?

You see?

Murder ...

collaboration, murder!

You know what

did to my mother?

My sister?

My brothers?

Murder, partnership,

and more murders.

I think we should

be more precise.

Suffering is part

God's plan.

A child knows that.

"If we take happiness

the hand of God,

we should not take

pain, too? "

It is not

an indictment.

Are you saying that

no reasons?

The charge would be

breach of contract.

The Jews

have a ...

have a contract

God,

some kind of

special arrangement.

A pact.

Well, the accusation is that

broke the agreement, the pact.

Therefore, God is a

cheating bastard!

That is fine with me.

Please, please.

They can stop you?

In the desert, Moses led

a covenant with God.

He said the people

obey God's law,

and on the other hand, God said

of all peoples,

we would be theirs,

his chosen

a priestly nation

The psalmist sings

"I agreed with the chosen one, I swear

my servant David.

"I did sign your dynasty

forever.

Your throne will last

from age to age.

My own translation.

Therefore the case

before us

is not fulfilled

with this covenant.

Who wants to start?

"No enemy will

able to mock him,

"No evil overtake.

"Crush

his enemies before him,

annihilate opponents.

So?

Has the

His promise? No.

Well, it's hard to see

and refute the charge.

What defense can there be?

Continue?

Bad Things

have happened before.

Read the Torah.

Lean ... read

its history.

We are Jews.

We suffer.

We suffer.

Please.

Identify at

the court.

My name is Kuhn.

I'm his father.

I'm his father, and

However ...

he joins them

this shame.

It helps knowing

it hurts.

That is the kind

a son he is.

Got something to say, father?

Apart from usual?

Look ...

when we were released

of bondage in Egypt,

find land

fiancee, What happened?

We were taken captive

again in Babylon.

When we

released again

and rebuild

temple,

what happened?

The Romans razed.

What happened

on Massada ...

Spain ...

Russia, and now here?

I think

the witness

is saying that his failure

the contract is common.

To clarify the position,

God defend or attack

Mr. Kuhn, think this saying ...

.. he can speak for itself

Our ancestors,

our ancestors,

our parents

all suffered.

But it aired.

That is the reason that

we're still here.

This is a test

of our faith.

We pass our test

as they passed his.

Do you think we

be here? ... (Please ...)

They kept the light of Torah

on in times of darkness.

We must do the same.

We must keep the faith.

We maintain pure

our hearts,

and we must pray.

Why?

If God has

betrayed, why?

The point is ...

The point is to be a good Jew.

A good Jew.

The point is to keep the faith.

Why?

We are

tested!

Tests are part

of this covenant?

Did someone mention

evidence to Moses?

In the same psalm,

we are told,

"If their descendants

deserting my law

"and not follow my commands,

"if they violate my decrees and does not

keep my commandments

"I will punish their offenses with the rod,

his guilt with his whip

Mr. Kuhn said,

before blaming God, we

look at ourselves.

Perhaps it is God who

breaches the covenant, but us.

Yes

There is ... he knows.

Es .. is

mipnei khata'einu

because of our sins.

Or your sins.

May be you

who is to blame.

Thank you.

I agree

with the court.

It is a punishment.

The court has not said

such ... (Still)

I agree.

Some Jews have

turned their backs on the Torah

They thought they knew better.

Our children have left

to cities.

He bought a

fancy hat,

a good costume, they became

socialists or Zionists

capitalist

or anarchists.

God only knows what.

Forgetting everything

of the precious scriptures.

So you're saying that

this is my fault;

is that?

God is destroying all the people

Jew because you're disappointed in me

Is that it?

Look what you're doing!

A trial to God?

Do not you think

can hear you?

Do you think

not here?

We must maintain

order here.

You are Jews, no?

If nothing else,

must respect the law.

Well, since I am accused,

I call

a witness.

Forward.

This gentleman.

Name?

Ezra Shapira

of Zamkevitz.

Did I do something wrong?

No, Ezra

Zamkevitz.

He came here with

Rabbi believe,

from Zamkevitz.

Tell me,

Ezra Shapira

turned their backs

the Torah

in Zamkevitz?

No, sir.

In Zamkevitz,

loved the Torah.

On Shabbat, the windows of the

shops were all closed.

The Scriptures wrapped its wings

of quiet about us,

and the world simply

vanished.

Every man had

his prayer book.

On national holidays, festivals,

workdays,

the Torah was ...

The air was

that breathed.

In our poverty,

We dressed and housed us.

He was our palace

and lived

in its splendor.

So what went wrong?

They came.

They killed all

the elderly.

And they did the rest

bury them.

I buried my own mother.

I did remove the

ring fingers

and give it to them.

See any reason why

God would be a good Jew

desecrate the grave

your own mother

in order to punish

a poor Jewish

For example, I?

I said that was

a good man.

I try, but I do not know if I am a good man,

I do not know if you are an evil man.

For example, he.

I do not know.

Know me already

Do not worry.

So God reserves the right

to punish the wicked.

This is in the covenant.

The question is, why did you choose

punish this good man here ...

... and not, for

example, Hitler?

Does anyone have

an answer?

God is just;

so we have

done something wrong.

We should examine

our consciences.

In law, the punishment

should be proportional

crime.
