Get StartedDoes God Feel Emotions?
The Meaning of God's Name, "Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh"
We often talk about God's love for us, but does God really have emotions? In this week's parsha, Rabbi Fohrman explores an odd midrash about God's names – Eheyeh Asher Eheyeh. Why did God tell Moses that "I Will Be That Which I Will Be"?
By exploring the story behind God's names, Rabbi Fohrman uncovers a message about how inscrutable God's emotions are, and the incredible love God has for us.
