Yitz: I think the case with Avraham really is. Here are his words: הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה, צַדִּיק עִם-רָשָׁע? אוּלַי יֵשׁ חֲמִשִּׁים צַדִּיקִם, בְּתוֹךְ הָעִיר; הַאַף תִּסְפֶּה וְלֹא-תִשָּׂא לַמָּקוֹם, לְמַעַן חֲמִשִּׁים הַצַּדִּיקִם אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבָּהּ? חָלִלָה לְּךָ מֵעֲשֹׂת כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה, לְהָמִית צַדִּיק עִם-רָשָׁע, וְהָיָה כַצַּדִּיק, כָּרָשָׁע; חָלִלָה לָּךְהֲשֹׁפֵט כָּל-הָאָרֶץ, לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה מִשְׁפָּט.

Chalilah Lakh! twice, no less. Rhetorical questioning. Repetition. I find it very hard to read this as anything but anger. I invite you to offer an alternative translation.

MP: I think its notable that Avraham got angry when the apparent injustice was to yenem, but was able to have bitachon when the pain was his own.

For most of us, bitachon cant cover issues like the Holocaust. Either we shelve the problem, perhaps wallpaper that over with bitachon to feel better about simply trying not to think about it. We cant simply will the bitachon into existence at the moment; such things take from years to a lifetime of work  so how do you respond now? Or, some might dismiss G-d or his role in the matter. Im applauding a third alternative: Getting angry at Him  but only as one would anyone else one loves. Its not a denial of that love; its a fundamental part of any healthy relationship.

Should AA have gotten angry at H when told kach-naes Yitzchaqvhaaleihu sham lolah?
