What is the source of our faith?
What do we mean when we say we believe in G-d?
Faith is not about understanding. If it was something we can understand with our logic, it would have been knowledge. Then, why do we believe? If this is something we cannot understand, then where does the faith come from?
The explanation is simple. Inside every Jew, is a special soul. Our soul is a “part” of G-d. It is the essence of every Jew. This soul is given to us by G-d, we cannot choose it, and neither can we change it.
Since our soul is a “part” of G-d, it is always connected to Him. This is what gives us the feeling of G-d’s presence in the world. This is where our faith comes from, and not from our mind. It is not something that we can comprehend with our logic, it is something much deeper. We feel G-d through our souls, and this is the source of our faith.
Shabbat Shalom,
