THE SCIENCE OF BELIEF with Mayim Bialik

The word for brain isn't even in the Torah. But a lot of what is in
the Torah presumes a functioning brain and even asks us to use it
in certain specific ways. In particular, the brain is directly
implicated by the whole realm that we call belief or faith.
Judaism, like many religions, asks us to believe in certain things.
Actually, in Judaism case, it doesn't just ask. It commands. We're
commanded to believe in God, to believe there is only one God and
to believe that that God is the one who delivered us from Egypt and
then gave us the Torah at Mount Sinai. So how are we supposed to
force ourselves to force our brains to believe in that stuff? Or
you could ask a different question What is going on in our brains
when and if we do believe in that stuff? That's what I wanted to
know. Today, Rabbi David Kasher talks to neuroscientist and devout
Jew, Mayim Bialik about the science of belief and holding both
science and belief at once.
