The story of Moshe Yosef Daum and Fela Nussbaum has similarities to the Book of Job. In both of these stories God put people to the test. He wanted to see if with all the cruelty and bad things that happened if they would lose their faith in God. Menachem told the story about his parents and their feelings about the holocaust. His mother did not have the same feelings as his dad. She felt if God had done so many miracles then why didn't he do any miracles during the Holocaust? How could he let this happen? Moshe felt that we couldn't possibly ever understand why God does what he does. This is also apparent in The Book of Job. How could God possibly do all of those cruel things to Job when he was a good person? How could he kill his family, kill his animals, put sores all over his body, making him wish he was never born? They both question how God, for someone we think is almighty and should only do good things, could have this in his plan and that the end result would turn out good.
