ליקוטי שמואל | June 26, 2026

Adam entered the barbershop and in the middle of the haircut, he and the barber began to talk about a variety of topics, they came to a topic that discussed the existence of G-d.

"I don't believe that there is a G-d in the world," said the barber. "Why are you saying that?" the man asked. "It's enough to go out into the street and see G-d there!"

Tell me, if G-d existed, do you think there would be sick people? That there were abandoned people? If God existed, there would be no sorrow and pain!! I just can't imagine one loving God who would have allowed all these atrocities to happen. The man thought for a moment, but he preferred to keep quiet so as not to start an argument.

He got up to the door, was about to go out into the street, and then he saw a homeless man lying right at the entrance to the barbershop; he looked very neglected with unruly hair and a thick beard.

The man returned to the book and said: "I don't believe there are books!!" "Did the book ask?" It is illogical to say so...! After all, just a second ago I told you! Nope!! Books don't exist!! Because if they existed, there would be no people in the world with long hair and a thick beard, like this person outside."

Oh. - The barber answered - "It's not that there are no books, it's what happens when people don't come to me." "Exactly!" the man answered, "that's the point. G-d certainly exists, but that's what happens to people who don't come to Him and don't turn to Him for help. This is where all the sorrow and pain in the world comes from!!"
