Question of the Week - Parshat Chukat

Part of the Question of the Week!

Today, we are releasing the second Question of the Week! The prize this week will be a 20$ Gift Certificate towards Jewish MP3s on Jtunes.

And now, the question:


In this parasha we're introduced with a "Hukah" - a law without an explanation, which we cannot understand.


What is the role of rationality as opposed to "faith" in Judaism? Are we supposed to understand everything we believe? Are we supposed to believe everything blindly? How do these two concepts interact?

In order to enter the raffle for the prize, you must answer the question of the week by commenting on this post. If your comment is very long, you need to divide it in a few comments or else you will get an error message! Your answer can be anything thoughtful. If you think the question is stupid , explain nicely and logically why you think so, and it will count as an answer.
Your answer must be in by 2 pm Israel Time on Friday. You must include your email when commenting or your answer will not be considered (We need to know how to contact you!). For more information, click here.
