We FINALLY began learning Chumash today and started thinking about why the Jews ended up in Egypt. Was it free will that brought them there (Yosef's brothers needed food) or destiny (a decree from God to Abram that we would be enslaved for 400 years)? Are we in charge of our lives, or is it all predetermined?
Josh Bermel followed this up by asking, "Why do bad things have to happen to people?"
Alec said, "Because it makes life more interesting."
Emma said, "Sometimes you need to do bad to get something good."
