Acharei Mos

When Heaven Shuts the Door on You

What do you do when it seems that even Hashem has given up on you? The question arises based on Rashi's commentary that the future Destruction of the First Temple was already hinted to in the Torah. We examine the paradigmatic story of Elisha ben Avuya seemingly being rejected from doing repentance.

Based on Toras Menachem 5746 vol. 3, pp. 195-6, 208-9.
