Who’s Really in Charge — Us, G-d, or Both

Who’s Really in Charge — Us, G-d, or Both

Do you ever feel your life is spinning beyond your control — that things just happen, and you’re merely a bystander?

Or, perhaps on the other extreme, you feel fully in control — that you alone determine your fate.

These two poles have defined human thought for millennia. On one end, a religious fatalism that says: “God runs the show; we’re just living out the script.” On the other, Ayn Rand’s Objectivism — the creed of radical individualism: “No one controls me but me.”

So who’s really in charge — us, God, or both? Do we truly have free will, or is our path already written? And if both play a role, how do we find the harmony between divine destiny and human choice?

Join Rabbi Simon Jacobson for a penetrating exploration into individuality and God — and discover how, far from being at odds, they actually complement one another.
