Faith in Judaism
Question
Dear Rabbi Michael Abraham, hello.
I wanted to know why / for what reasons the Rabbi came to believe in the religion of Moses and Israel, when statistically, if he had been born in Nazareth he would have been a Christian, etc.?

Answer
What led me to this is described in the fifth notebook. I even note there about other beliefs for someone born there. But in principle, I’m not particularly moved by skeptical arguments that tell me that if I had been born somewhere else I would think differently. At most, I can re-examine myself, but if in the end that is my conclusion, then that is my conclusion.
