Proofs of the Truth of Judaism

There are many ways that we prove that Judaism is the one and only true religion. The Kuzari would argue that the proof lies with the fact that the religions of the world, do not dispute the validity of the Bible stories.

They accept that there really was a flood in Noach’s time. But more importantly, they accept that there were ten plagues in Egypt, and there was the splitting of the Red Sea, and the Revelation at Mount Sinai. This is a verification that the Torah is true.

Rav Yakov Emden wrote that a greater miracle than the splitting of the Red Sea, was the survival of the Jewish people, through its long and bitter exile. No nation has survived after enduring the hardships that the Jews endured, and they survived.

A third proof is the fallibility of Jewish leaders. Unlike the so called perfect saints of other religions, we acknowledge the potential of sin on our holiest leaders. The Torah deals with the sins of the High Priest, the king, and even an error made by the members of the Sanhedrin. It recognizes that as human beings, regardless of our high position, sin is inevitable. For that reason, a mechanism was created to achieve atonement.

I have never heard of a case where one objectively studies comparative religions, and does not find Judaism to be the truest of all. We only need to study in greater depth, and this truth will be revealed to all.
