The Fifth Notebook

Question

Hello Rabbi. I believe in the philosophical God, that is, in a transcendent entity that created the world (that seems completely obvious to me…), and from what I understood, that is what the first four notebooks deal with. But from there to a God who reveals Himself, etc., it is very hard for me to get there intellectually. So I wanted to ask whether it would be worthwhile for me to read only the fifth notebook, or whether it is still worth reading the first four as well (do they create some sort of progression? is there something in them beyond the proofs themselves?). Thanks in advance.

Answer

It seems to me that you don’t need to. Just remember that the fifth assumes what emerges from them. There are sometimes references back to them, but I don’t remember how necessary they are.

May I print one of the booklets (because it’s more convenient for me to read from paper), or would you prefer that it not be printed?

You may print it for your own use.
