Q. From the East, we are getting Coronavirus. From the West, different wildfires and looting. From the South, hurricanes, tornadoes, and water funnels. All over the nation, people are rioting in the streets. God must be angry. What can we do to make Him happy?

A. Micah 6:8 tells us, "You have been told, mankind, what is good and what Hashem requires of you: only to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." I think that pretty much covers it.
