Q&A: The Truth of the Torah
The Truth of the Torah
Question
Hello, Rabbi. I came across a very strengthening article on the internet, and I have to say that it includes all the foundations of faith with unequivocal proofs!!
I would also be glad if the Rabbi would look over the article a bit and give his opinion.
This article is dedicated to any young person who is struggling with doubts, or any righteous person who wants to become stronger in faith.
Enjoy reading (:

(P.S. In the “Polemics” section, “The Pseudo-Scientific Mystery,” they give many responses to articles by Atelogika, myths from the atheist community, responses to the nonsense from Israeli Logic and Science, and more.)
Answer
I skimmed it quickly. The arguments are familiar, and here they are presented with far too much certainty. You can argue with a great many things he says, although of course I agree with his bottom line. For example, contrary to what he says, there were mass revelations in other places as well.
The use of phrases like “the greatest professors in the world agree,” etc., always puts me off. It indicates a lack of understanding, or demagoguery and propaganda. Bottom line: I wasn’t impressed.
Discussion on Answer
Search online. There were also a few discussions about this here on the site.
Could the Rabbi please point me to where those discussions took place? Thank God I have Rimon Internet because of the dangers of open internet, but it also blocks access to information, so I can’t search online.
For example, here: https://mikyab.net/%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA/%D7%98%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%9F-%D7%94%D7%94%D7%AA%D7%92%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%94%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA
And here:

And more. A bit about this also appears at the end of the first book of the trilogy.
Where else were there mass revelations to known groups? I mean, not to anonymous people, but to people whom the author of the revelation is addressing?
