In Jewish Thought
Divine providence (Hebrew השגחה פרטית Hashgochoh Protis / Hashgachah Pratit lit. supervision of the individual) is discussed throughout Rabbinic literature, and in particular by the classical Jewish philosophers. These writings maintain that Divine Providence means that God is directing (or even recreating) every minute detail of creation. This analysis thus underpins much of Orthodox Judaism's world view, particularly as regards questions of interaction with the natural world.
