Description

Two rigorous thinkers, Jonathan Gibson - Politics and International Relations student at the London School of Economics, and Sophia Bor – Cambridge Theology graduate and law student, challenge Rabbi Zarum in this episode on belief in God. Does Judaism require belief in God? Is God the same for everyone? Can we ‘prove’ He exists, and how?

Both practising modern orthodox Jews, Sophia is unconvinced and Jonathan is still searching. Exploring nature, philosophy and modern and ancient Jewish literature, Rafi leads them and us through a fascinating tapestry of God theories in our own and other religions. For anyone who isn’t sure what they believe or wants to educate themselves in how to talk intelligently about Jewish belief in God.

The content of this podcast is inspired by Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum’s book, Questioning Belief, available on Amazon.
