Q&A: Certainty Regarding God
Certainty Regarding God
Question
Hello Rabbi, I heard in one of the YouTube videos that the Rabbi emphasizes that belief in God is certain, but apparently I saw a different opinion from Rabbi Moshe Rat, who says that faith is a feeling of conviction—that I am convinced that there is a God. For example, if I believe that tomorrow there won’t be traffic jams on the road, I’m convinced of that, but I can’t know it with certainty. And why specifically Judaism and not the other religions? (I was asked that too, and I had no answer.) I would be happy to know, Rabbi.
Answer
You didn’t hear that in any video, because I never said that. I didn’t understand the rest. Are you asking here for an essay or a book on the justification of Judaism?
