Free choice in the face of historical moves

שו"ת › Free choice in the face of historical moves

I was listening to the Rabbi's Zoom class today on free will and choice and wanted to ask what the Rabbi thinks about historical Belgians.
For example, the Jew Mordechai says to Esther:
If the deaf are silent at this time, profit and salvation will arise for the Jews from another place.
From this it can be proven that Mordechai believed that Esther had free choice, but on the other hand, in the macro of the processes, God can reach a certain result even though people have free choice. Although the path and manner of reaching the result is not known in advance.
Does the rabbi agree with this claim?

"Belgians"? I didn't understand the expression. Maybe you mean "moves"? There is merit to this claim, although I highly doubt whether it really holds true today. I will get to that later in the series. Here I will only comment briefly: If the assumption is that God does not intervene in the actions of people, the collective phenomenon is the sum of the actions of individual people, and if none of these are prevented by God, then the overall result is not in God's hands either. Assuming that God does intervene, then it can be argued that the involvement is only on the collective level. How? If he changes the weights of each person individually (instead of 50-50 to do or not to do, he changes it to 90-10). In such a situation, each person has a choice and yet there is a divine influence on the collective.
