In this thought-provoking class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath delves into the profound questions surrounding belief in a higher power and the relevance of divine concern in our daily lives. With a focus on the Jewish perspective, Rabbi Bernath explores the increasing trend of young people believing in a higher power despite their disinterest in organized religion. He tackles essential questions: Does the Creator truly care about our actions? Is it possible to communicate with the infinite? Drawing on the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, Rabbi Bernath illustrates how this monumental event established a direct line of connection between G-d and humanity, highlighting the significance of the commandments and the opportunity for a profound relationship with the Divine.
