I've been struggling with belief in God since October 7th. Is it ok to be angry at God?

Hold on to the anger, but do not let it be lonely. So many of us have been angry this year and assumed we were the only ones still in shul with a clenched jaw. We are not. Some of the most serious believers I know are praying through gritted teeth right now.
If it helps: you do not have to resolve the theology to keep showing up. Let the questions stay open. Keep doing the small concrete things — light the candles, say the words, be with your people — and let belief be something your hands do while your heart catches up. Sometimes the doing carries you until the trusting can return.
