Providence
Question
I saw (not in full) your view that there is no individual providence nowadays, and intuitively I very much understand it.
A. I would just be glad to know whether this was the case in all generations, and if not, what changed, because in the Prophets it is mentioned that only when they sinned were they punished by the other nations.
B. Does this contradict Maimonides’ tenth principle?
C. What is determined on Rosh Hashanah?
Answer
I’ve written about all of this. See it in full. In my understanding, on Rosh Hashanah nothing is determined.
Discussion on Answer
