The Shema Podcast for the Perplexed When Science Meets Sinai: A Conservation with Dr. Berel Leib Epstein
In this episode, I sit down with physicist and author of Emunah and Physics, Dr. Berel Leib Epstein, to explore how modern physics—fine-tuning, quantum observation, and the wave-particle nature of light—doesn’t challenge emunah but illuminates it, revealing the Torah as the blueprint of reality. We discuss why Occam’s razor now favors belief, how the unity sought in physics mirrors Hashem Echad, and how gratitude and good middos open the heart to truth. You’ll come away with a clearer, more rational framework for Emunah and one that deepens awe, sharpens thinking, and highlights the profound harmony between Torah and science.
