"Can you prove that G-d exists, and that the Torah is from Heaven?" This talk challenges the validity of the concept of "proof". The talk addresses two general forms of knowledge: “cognition”, knowledge derived from external sources, and “cognizance”, which is awareness from within. Using deceptively simple illustrations, Dr. Brawer will demonstrate that recognition of the truths of Judaism, although supported by cognition, is established beyond question through cognizance.
