About this episode

Jonah Platt explores the struggle with belief in God within the context of Judaism and spirituality.

Can someone deeply connected to Judaism wrestle with God and still belong?  In this contemplative monologue, Jonah explores his lifelong struggle with belief, the nature of G-d, and the tension between faith and doubt. From questioning divine presence to contemplating the vastness of the universe, Jonah examines whether spirituality requires certainty, or if the act of searching is its own form of faith. If you’ve ever wrestled with your religious beliefs, this monologue is for you.
