Berakhot 7

I find the idea that God prays to be able to find mercy and patience intriguing. I have always been troubled by the God in the Old Testament who often times appears harsh and impatient. We the people are a difficult lot to oversee and the Talmud suggests that God has human qualities and struggles like us to overcome anger. But unlike us, God overcomes anger as quickly as it appears. And does the text suggest that if God can overcome anger over our very great human transgressions that we can work to do so in our day to day lives? In the discussion of the righteous person, I find the reference to the “world-to-come” interesting, because I did not think there was a concept of an afterlife in the Judaism. Does anyone in this group have a
perspective on this text: “The righteous person who prospers is a completely righteous person whose actions are entirely good and whose reward is entirely good both in this world and in the
World-to-Come.”
