"When
King Solomon 'went down to the garden of nuts', he gazed at a
nut shell and understood how on every level in the universe, inner
truth is surrounded by a thick husk." (Song of Songs 6:10; Zohar
1:19b).

The
Torah encourages asking challenging questions. Only this way can
you clarify what you know and believe. |
| Does
the Torah seem to negate contemporary beliefs? Having doubts about
faith in God, the Torah and mitzvot is natural. God set up the
world so there'd be room for doubts and questions. Without them,
everyone could easily see the truth and there'd be no reward for
finding it. |
