Q&A - Gilgamesh, R Yehuda Hanasi & Egyptian History (Rabbi Dovid Gottleib) (Jewish Philosophy)

00:00 Do you think the time frame of Gilgamesh and the Mabul coincide? Could it be the same flood? 6:48 About R' Yehuda HaNasi - why did he decide to break an oral tradition? 13:41 How do you reconcile the archaeological evidence when it comes to the exodus from Egypt? 22:37 Why is there not a single reference to the 10 plagues, exodus, etc., in Egyptian history? 24:52 Kochi V'Otzem Yadi and level of bitachon, do we say someone with a lot of bitachon is a tzaddik or he's a malach and doesn't need torah anymore? 27:40 Can the theory of the 6 days of creation lining up with the past 3 billion years correct al pi torah? 42:12 What about the idea that one day in the eyes of Hashem was 1000 years? And that Hashem knows everything that did/is/will happen? 47:41 How should we look at events in regard to Hashgacha Pratis vs mikreh?
