7:15 Moshe sought moral knowledge of God's ways, not metaphysical knowledge of God's nature
10:30 Moshe sought to understand why some righteous people suffer, and other righteous people prosper; why some evildoers suffer, and other evildoers prosper
16:30 Moshe couldn't understand the goodness of God as it is manifest in the universe; the prophets could understand it
18:15 Completely righteous people don't suffer, whereas incompletely righteous people do suffer
22:00 What completely righteous people believe to be right will occur to them
26:00 The answer to the question about the suffering of the righteous was acceptable for the prophets but not for Moshe
29:30 Is God good if He is good only to the extent that people are completely righteous?
32:30 Seeing Hashem's back means seeing the end of His actions, in the future; seeing His face means seeing Him in the present
36:00 A person should emulate Hashem if and only if His actions are known This lecture series is a project of the Jacob Lights Foundation.
