Faith is a commandment

Hello Rabbi Michael
For some time now, I have lived with the understanding that faith in God and our connection to Judaism begins with a mitzvah. I am the Lord your God. Whether it is a positive mitzvah from the beginning according to most of the jurists, or whether it is the root and foundation of everything and beyond a mitzvah according to some. And like every mitzvah, we do it because that is how God commanded. We do it and obey it. Without reason or knowledge. And it must also come with a prohibition and do not turn after your own heart – this is a sin in its simplest form. A prohibition even to be content if this is the truth. (I know you oppose this) and perhaps this is why it is included every day in the mitzvah of uniting God in the recitation of the Shema. Along with the prohibition of idolatry. Proofs for this:
1. If there is no commandment, why do we even think about God and the Torah? Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.
2. Can you convey your books or any other evidence to uneducated people? The Torah was given to a nation of wise and foolish, righteous and wicked. It cannot be that the connection to Judaism is so complicated.
3. The Rambam, Rabbi Chaim, and others provide the main proof that one must know God and investigate faith – from verses from the Tanakh. That is, belief in the Torah from heaven and the prohibition of heresy are a prior obligation to investigation.
4. Is it possible to prove anything these days? Everything is doubtful. Even if you are firm in your belief that it is the most reasonable of all opinions and beliefs, you see that you are almost alone in this. It bothers me and many people that there are atheists and scientists who have proofs and difficulties for us. Even the Rambam was sure of Aristotle’s proofs. According to what I claim, a person can be doubtful in reason and yet be enslaved to God. This seems to me to be freedom. And am I a slave to reason? I can choose to believe. And this is the essence of the commandment. Some interpret this as the prohibition against listening to a false prophet who brings a sure sign or miracle, “For the Lord your God is testing you.”
5. There is a mitzvah of education in the Torah, there is an obligation to circumcise an eight-day-old child, mitzvot and memorize them for your children, the Torah wants habit and study before reaching the age of mitzvot so that the person is connected. It does not want the person to be objective, a blank page, and think about whether he believes or not. And have we ever heard of Torah guidance to leave the Torah and search for what is the truth?
The idea of ​​faith without reason and knowledge appears a lot in Hasidism and in the book Shomer Emunim. He says that this is the traditional Jewish faith. Perhaps it is similar among the Gentiles to the idea of ​​a leap of faith.
I am not against understanding and investigating the faith, but only after accepting the principles of the faith without reason and knowledge. An axiom of life that must not be shaken and whoever loses it has no share in the world to come. And an exception is made according to the words of the Mishnah and the Rambam. And this is how Jews have lived throughout all generations.
Rabbi Kook writes: Faith must be so complete as if it had no possibility of research, and in contrast, the power of wisdom must be so excellent and swift as if there were no power of faith in the soul at all. “Man and beast – naked in knowledge and pretend to be beasts.”
I know you don’t think like me, but I’d love to hear your opinion.
