  • 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.

Do Jews believe in free will/choice?

Quote from: CountValentine on February 02, 2014, 03:32:40 PM
What about "divine intervention" do they also believe in that?

Count, you don't know what you're stepping into. This is bigger than handshaking and M&M's. That is, of course, only IF the folks on forum catch on. It could be that the topic is too philosophical to really grab anyone.

Basically, Count, what you really want is a shiur (I know you know that word) in Shaar HaYichud v'HaEmunah from Tanya.

Back when I was in Yeshivah I would love to debate this topic until all parties were blue in the face and heads spinning, nowadays you'd have to catch me in a really good mood...

I am not looking for a discussion on the subjects. I was hoping for a simple yes or no answer to better understand where everyone is coming from. Was not expecting differences on these subjects.

I think generally there is a yes or no answer.
We believe in hashgacha pratis. We believe in yedia. We believe in bechira. We believe in miracles. How all that comes together is where it gets complicated
