DEUT59 The Torah says: “Keep them and do them, for this is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations” (Devarim 4:6). Now, it is impossible that the nations would admit to the loftiness of our wisdom and understanding, unless there are arguments, clear proofs, and rational evidence which attest to the truth of our Torah and the authenticity of our beliefs. Our Creator has promised us that He will remove the veil of ignorance from their minds, and that His brilliant glory will be revealed to serve us as evidence of the truth of our Torah, as He said: “Nations will walk by your light, kings by the glitter of that which shines on you” (Yeshayahu 60:3 ); “And many peoples will go and say: ‘Come, let us go up to God's’” (ibid. 2:3). It has been made clear-- by reason, Scripture, and tradition -- that we are obligated to investigate that of which we can attain verification with our minds.
