The Trial of God (as it was held on February 25, 1649, in Shamgorod)
A Play by Elie Wiesel
Translated by Marion Wiesel
Introduction by Robert McAfee Brown
Afterword by Matthew Fox

Where is God when innocent human beings suffer? This drama lays bare the most vexing questions confronting the moral imagination.

Set in a Ukranian village in the year 1649, this haunting play takes place in the aftermath of a pogrom. Only two Jews, Berish the innkeeper and his daughter Hannah, have survived the brutal Cossack raids. When three itinerant actors arrive in town to perform a Purim play, Berish demands that they stage a mock trial of God instead, indicting Him for His silence in the face of evil. Berish, a latter-day Job, is ready to take on the role of prosecutor. But who will defend God? A mysterious stranger named Sam, who seems oddly familiar to everyone present, shows up just in time to volunteer.

The idea for this play came from an event that Elie Wiesel witnessed as a boy in Auschwitz: "Three rabbis--all erudite and pious men--decided one evening to indict God for allowing His children to be massacred. I remember: I was there, and I felt like crying. But there nobody cried."

Inspired and challenged by this play, Christian theologians Robert McAfee Brown and Matthew Fox, in a new Introduction and Afterword, join Elie Wiesel in the search for faith in a world where God is silent.

Needs to outgas for a day or two and then its great.
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
Needs to outgas for a couple days, ideally outside on a clothes line. Having said that its the first pillow out of a half dozen Ive bought in the last 18 mos that I can sleep on. Sleeping much better and longer now. Latex foam is the only pillow for me. I swear I searched on here a year or so ago and could not find one.

Goldilocks pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I tried 5 different latex pillows, 2 from this brand. Most had to much loft and were too firm. This brand has one called extra soft that was comfortable but a little too soft. BUT, I could tell the latex was better so I tried this one. It strikes the perfect balance of support and is not too firm. Compared to all the other brands I would call this one soft/medium as all others "medium" were pretty firm. This one is just right!

Perfect supportive soft pillow

The perfect pillow that is hypoallergenic. It’s soft but your head doesn’t sink through. Supportive and soft at the same time. Have bought more pillows.

Very firm pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I'm not sure I received the same pillow as advertised. The pillows I received are extremely firm. I would not classify it as medium. It was also not covered by a cotton case. it had a very sheer gauze like material covering the latex.

Super springy and comfy!
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1, Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I’ve been looking for a pillow that offers support but is soft and cushy. I had never tried a latex pillow before, and I was skeptical because I heard it could be hard, but I decided to give it a try. I tried a memory foam and it was waaaaay too hard to be comfortable. This pillow retains its shape, is really soft and plushy, and works great for back or side sleeping. It had a slight smell (not unpleasant though) when we first unboxed it, but it was gone by day 2. The pillow also sprang up immediately on unwrapping it. After a few days it seemed a little bit bigger, but it didn’t really need any time to air out/fluff up, it was basically ready straight out of the box. I’m often picky about pillows because I get headaches from sleeping on my neck in the wrong way, but this one is great and I haven’t had a problem at all. My hubby likes it too :) it’s the favorite house pillow now.
