Rambam on Rational Judaism

this is actually what the kites did for many years as the rambam was fighting them telling the people look this rambam is telling you to put on to fill in you don't need to do it what do you mean it says it in the Torah no you're not understanding you see the whole point of the toiling is because God is telling you that he wants you to think about it so since we are enlightened since we are brilliant since we are aware of what the truth is behind toilin we don't need the toilin to think about God we could just think about God without the toilin and of course pre 17A says some a Judah does not put on toin has no share of the world to come this type of rational destroys relationships between the person and their creator so you see when God Gave You difficulties in this world aside from the calculations that he has that are beyond the scope of any human knowledge reincarnations mid mid measure for measure and so on still even those measure for meure measure even those reincarnations even though everything put together whatever choices Hashem chose to make the outcome whether was you winning the lotto or losing as much as the lotto win whether it was being perfectly healthy or Shalom the opposite whatever outcome hasem put in your life that was the best possible choice for you and of all of the choices available to you based on the actions you made that narrowed down the choices so instead of questioning God you should say thank you God and celebrate all of the difficulties that he gave you because you needed them had you not needed those tests had you not needed those difficulties then it would be just like abah and both had the same test but the outcome was different because the outcome necessary for Abraham was different than the outcome necessary for for hasem wanted him to see the Divine Providence and the benefit from it of how he can live while people are dying despite the famine even though he didn't leave the country even though he stayed in Israel aam on the other hand had to withstand the difficulties of the journey to Egypt the kidnapping of his wife and all of the other difficulties along the way going in poverty in order for him to remove the amuna that he had that was based on a foundation of proofs investigations and philosophy hasem wanted Abraham to have complete and unconditional in him without any rationalization and as a result of abam passing those tests he became AB ainu the forefather of all of is we too will all pass our tests with flying colors with a smile on our face with a thank you to every time it comes and just like the says whether it's a benefit a blessing or something that looks like a curse like a loss we have to make a blessing we have to say thank you to Hashem why because at the end of it all it's all for our benefit this is what keeps the smile on a person's face face no matter what test to delude yourself to think that no if you think good good things will happen plenty of people think good and then they get hit by a bus plenty of people think good and then they lose a bunch of money plenty of people think good and it doesn't necessarily always work out but if you think that everything God gives you is good that means that it doesn't matter what comes it's good by default the path that he's putting you on is the greatest possible Choice available to you and that's what makes him so good we are meant to be a light unto the Nations not to follow their misguided practices remember every Jew has to remember that he's a Jew and she's a Jew we don't celebrate non-jewish holidays even if they seem harmless it's a zul disrespect to the Torah and could lead to CH Hashem desecration of God's name stick to our holy Torah and our own holidays that's the path of a true Jew
