The Minyanaires is a book about a group of Jewish men and women who are drawn to the synagogue on a daily basis to help sustain a minyan for those who are required to recite the Holy Kaddish prayer. 19 members of the Beth El Congregation of Baltimore as well as 5 of its clergy are interviewed as to their views on God, Creation, Prayer, the Soul, Miracles and much more.
One can see from all of the discussion that the questions and answers about our Almighty God are varied and diverse. It is indeed difficult to arrive at any verifiable conclusions in the field of theology. Philosophers and learned men of all ages have attempted to set forth their own axioms, postulates or universal truths about the existence of God and our creation, only to return to the drawing board again and again. There is only one thing certain when it comes to the unknowable and that is: the unknowable is unknowable.
On the other hand, one does not necessarily have to have proof for everything to prove that it exists. We see a door and know that a carpenter created it. We don’t know who the carpenter is, but we know that he exists or existed. We cannot empirically prove a carpenter created the door but do we deny that he created it? We don’t because, based on our intellect and reasoning and our faith that our senses are accurate barometers of essential truths, we acknowledge that, even without proof, a carpenter created the door.
So the same can be said about the infinite and miraculous creations that abound about us. We may not ever be able to prove conclusively that God has created these wonders but, as with the carpenter, we reason that none of this marvel and beauty would have ever been possible without the existence of our Creator. Again, we trust our intuitions and senses and refer to it as faith.
