God On Trial
Thursday August 12th, 7:30pm
A film to make you think and one which could truly upset many people. Set in Auschwitz a group of prisoners decide to place God on trial for breaking his covenant with the Jews. The question becomes, “Is God responsible for the murderous actions of the Nazis in their attempt to eradicate the Jews. How could he allow this to happen?” The selection for those chosen for death is to happen later in the day. Who is to be chosen?
Why is this happening? Is it a punishment for straying from God’s laws, a sacrifice, a test of faith, a cleansing or purification as in the Flood, a consequence of free will, or indifference as in Job?
There are those who argue that God does not exist, those that argue that God has deserted the Jewish people, and those that argue that God does exist.
The ending is shocking and reveals no answer but leaves us with questions about our relationship with God. Bill Westbury will lead the discussion. Suggested Donation is $7 ($5 for TJC members)
