The G-d Question: Beyond the Bearded Man in the Sky | A Candid Discussion.

In this eye-opening session, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most profound and misunderstood topics of all time: What is G-d? Moving beyond simplistic childhood images of a supernatural sky-being, we delve into Jewish, Chassidic, philosophical, and even scientific perspectives on the Divine. Drawing from thinkers like Einstein and the Alter Rebbe, this class gently unpacks a paradoxical truth: G-d is not less than personal, but also infinitely more than any person. Whether you’re a believer, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this is a class that will stretch your mind and open your heart. Takeaways: Not All “G-ds" Are the Same The God that many reject may not be the G-d Torah and Kabbalah actually describe. Beyond Supernatural vs. Natural Judaism sees G-d not as a supernatural being outside nature, but as the source and essence of all existence, both within and beyond nature. Personal and Infinite G-d is not a person, but also not less than personal. The Divine is both the cosmic Author and the intimate Listener. Language & Metaphor Matter The Torah uses varied metaphors to relate to G-d, each revealing a facet, none capturing the whole. G-d Is Experienced, Not Just Explained You may not "prove" G-d like a theorem—but you can encounter G-d in awe, in kindness, in Torah, and in the quiet moments of the soul. #God #theology #thegodquestion #chassidus #Kabbalah #chabad #Spinoza #einstein #jewishphilosophy #Faith #personalgod #infinite #soul Support the show Got your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
