What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, this is the fifth way he has here of explaining our belief in a close book on the Torah is over commission us from the testimony of their tradition and testimony of generations. This this this way of understanding is explained in brief by the safer Kuzari, which is one that we're showing you by Judah Halevi. I have a lot of seeing our clothes donated but I want to explain it in a more contemporary way. I know that in the Kuzari our belief is not like other religions. Some of my mean my mean Oh, one second. Let's actually only look at >> Close up so you can hear better. >> So in the Kuzari our religion is not like other religions. Some of my mean my mean where the believer believes God cuz he was told by a priest or some other minister told him what to believe. The God of commerce also the the priest any of them can be because she doesn't know from personal analyst analysis. And she must have a hair. He relies on another another open key. Commerce also can another priest came before him. I'm a believer the concept belief by them and of all the east but those who collect this it's not a um definite logic. I mean they assume they agree cuz of some compelling foot. I wish I would have only done that. It's just a assessment a um a reckoning. That that people told it to him are not going to lie. Those of us the way they put it is I miss pouring out some social meals million Catholics in the world. Uh the the the um the their belief if the 300 million actually they're more than that. There are about a billion Christians in the world. But they're they're but they're they he says there are 300 million Catholics in the world.
