About this episode

This episode explores the nature of the Torah and the evidence behind Jewish faith and survival.

What is the Torah, really? We spend so much time discussing it and studying it but can you explain what it is? Does Judaism require blind faith or is there actual evidence? We explore the mass revelation at Sinai, unique prophecies that defy explanation, fascinating mitzvot you've never thought about, and the impossible survival of the Jewish people across thousands of years. This isn't your typical Torah class—it's about the big questions and surprising answers.
