In this edition of Weekend Torah Teaching, Dennis Prager continues his study of Exodus 5, examining what happens when Moses and Aaron confront Pharaoh—and why their first attempt does not go as planned. Dennis explores the significance of the elders’ absence, Moses’ failure to follow God’s instructions precisely, and Pharaoh’s decision to make the Israelites’ already difficult work even harder.

The discussion then turns to one of the Torah’s most striking moments: Moses’ anger toward God. After seeing the suffering of the Israelites worsen, Moses directly confronts God and asks why He has brought evil upon His people. Dennis examines what this reveals about faith, suffering, and the difference between believing that God exists and trusting that God will ultimately do what is right.

Dennis also explores the difficult tension between loving God and loving humanity, arguing that genuine concern for human suffering can itself lead to profound questions about God. Through Moses’ struggle, the Torah presents a deeply human picture of faith—one that allows room for doubt, anger, questions, and the struggle to trust God when circumstances seem to be getting worse.
