In the face of terminal cancer, a rabbinical student challenges traditional theological frameworks that attempt to justify human suffering. Through comparative analysis of classical rabbinic texts, particularly passages from Hagigah and the Abrahamic narrative, Marcia Lind develops the "lekh lekha model" as an alternative approach to understanding profound adversity. Where conventional justification models often lead to bitterness and despair, this framework draws inspiration from Abraham's "hineni" (here I am) response, advocating graceful acceptance of circumstances beyond human comprehension. The analysis reveals that embracing temporal presentness—focusing on the "now"—transforms abstract suffering into manageable reality. By emphasizing moral agency and dignity over passive resignation, the lekh lekha model offers both a theoretical contribution to Jewish theological discourse on theodicy and practical guidance for those facing existential challenges. The work demonstrates how spiritual engagement with suffering can transcend the need for explanation, providing a path toward meaningful acceptance without surrendering to despair.
