Episode 12: Does God Exist?

Is Faith Rational?

Does God Exist? Maimonides’ First Principle of Jewish Faith Explained

Guest: Akiva Powers

“I believe with complete faith that the Creator, blessed be His name, is the Creator and Guide of all created beings, and He alone made, makes, and will make all things.” — MAIMONIDES

Can belief in G-d be rational? Or is it purely a leap of faith?

Join me and my PARTNER IN TORAH, Akiva Powers, as we tackle MAIMONIDES’ FIRST PRINCIPLE OF FAITH: that the Creator is the eternal source of everything. Akiva brings logic, clarity, wisdom, and passion to a subject that has challenged thinkers for millennia. This is more than theology—it’s the foundation of everything.
