Q&A: Aliens, Divorce Rates & Souls - Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz

Why doesn’t God always answer our prayers the way we want? In this powerful Torah Q&A, Rabbi Breitowitz answers 25 deep Jewish questions on prayer, faith, repentance, souls, suffering, outreach and Jewish belief. The session begins with one of the most painful struggles in religious life: how can a person be okay when prayers seem unanswered? The answer reframes the entire question: maybe Hashem did answer — but the answer was “no.” Not because He ignored you, not because you don’t matter, and not because your prayers were wasted, but because Hashem sees what the soul truly needs. This wide-ranging Q&A also covers whether souls choose their parents before birth, how prayer works if God does not “change His mind,” whether Adam and Eve can be understood as a parable, how to guide someone new to Judaism, whether 'gam zu letovah' applies to personal mistakes, how to approach teshuva from the past, what Judaism says about alien life or the multiverse, and many more fascinating Torah questions.
