Do we really exist — or is that the wrong question?
Bertrand Russell famously challenged believers to explain how they know God exists. But in this conversation, Rabbi Manis Friedman turns Russell’s challenge around: before asking whether God exists, how certain are we that we exist?
Using the revolutionary ideas of Shaar HaYichud VeHaEmunah in Tanya, we explore a radically different understanding of God, creation, and reality itself. Is the universe something that exists independently while God exists somewhere “outside” it? Or is existence itself completely dependent on God at every moment?
This isn’t simply another argument for the existence of God. It’s a challenge to what we mean by existence in the first place.
Bertrand Russell asked: How do you know God exists?
Maybe the deeper question is: How do you know YOU exist?
