Can Children Truly Experience God? A Powerful Lesson That Challenges Modern Psychology
Rabbi Shais Taub
Can an eight-year-old genuinely understand that God is everywhere — or are they simply repeating words they've been taught? In this thought-provoking talk, a developmental psychology professor challenges a rabbi's story about children's faith, leading to a remarkable exploration of how young minds experience spirituality. Drawing on Tanya, Chassidic thought, and a moving real-life encounter, this discussion reveals that children may connect with God not through abstract theology, but through their own lived experience of the world. A profound insight into faith, education, and the spiritual depth of a child's heart.
