Shabbat Table Topics – Parashat Ki Tisa

This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

The verse "פֹּקֵד עֲוֹן אָבוֹת עַל בָּנִים" raises the age-old question of theodicy: why, at times, are the righteous punished while sinners prosper?

Does this verse suggest that Hashem Himself might allow innocent children to be punished while their sinful parents go free? If so, how is that just? If not, what is the verse proclaiming?
