• Rabbi Mizrahi tells Maksud Agadjani knowledge beats faith and every soul faces a year-long trialEDITED VIDEO15m of 1h 22m read

  In the first 15 minutes, Rabbi Mizrahi answers host Maksud Agadjani's thought experiment about two Jewish men with $10 million, one stingy and observant, one who eats ham on Shabbat but gives half his money to sick children, judging each as righteous or wicked with no bias. He says he keeps the Torah out of 100% knowledge rather than faith, knowing God the way he knows an honest business partner, and brushes off Agadjani's comparison of two wives as apples to pearls.

  He claims God chose the Jewish people out of love for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not because they are greater than other nations. When Agadjani says the talk of eternity sounds closer to Christian or Islamic theology, the rabbi answers that Christians and Muslims learned everything positive they know from the Jews.

  Covers the first 15 of 82 minutes.
