The Brisker Rav quoted his father in a famous dialogue between the Rav and R' Shach that where Yedia(knowledge/clarity) ends is where belief begins
I wasn't getting into lamdus, was just defining words, but I guess you can say that I was Mechaven/reposting...

A very difficult concept to understand if it is even possible to understand.
Your Rabbi - the Gaon of Vilna -  agreed with you. He did not agree that there is Hashgacha Pratis for a leaf falling off a tree.

He doesn't bring the Gaon. But the Gaon agrees with the Sefer Hachinuch.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
