Is God Still Talking To Us?

start with an appropriate joke:

Moishe is driving in Jerusalem. He's late for a meeting, he's looking for a
parking place, and can't find one. In desperation, he turns towards heaven
and says, "G-d, if you find me a parking place, I promise that I'll eat only
kosher, respect Shabbats, and all the holidays."

Miraculously, a place opens up just in front of him. He turns his face up to
heaven and says, "Never mind, I just found one."


This week as we discussed Prophets the question came up about our current communication with God.

Is God still talking to us? Are we listening?

Back in the time of the Prophets it was difficult even when there was an appointed person to communicate God's words. People didn't know if they could believe them until after the fact....

But later, much later, the sages got together and decided that there were no more Prophets and we had to find a different way to hear God's word.

So now we have to listen harder or go on wondering if God created that parking space for us or not!
