Aish HaTorah’s Discovery Seminars are masterful at providing absolutely compelling proof for someone who is in the early stages of adopting a Torah lifestyle. For me, that was nearly 25 years ago. But since then I’ve been able to learn from the classic texts of Tanach, Mishnah, Gemara, Mishnah Breura, etc. from such publishers as Artscroll and Feldheim. Having done that, and continuing to learn daily I no longer need any proof of Hashem and His Torah. The fact that I exist, and that I’m a Jew — and particularly how the events of my life have come together to enable me to do the learning and become frum after an upbringing that made all that impossible by any natural standards — is all the proof I need. Beyond that, I don’t need any proof for Hashem and Torah. Just like I don’t need any proof that I have a mother and a father.
