How can a rabbi not live with doubt? The Bible itself is a book of doubt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.
Doubt is an uneasy and dissatisfied state from which we struggle to free ourselves and pass into the state of belief; while the latter is a calm and satisfactory state which we do not wish to avoid, or to change to a belief in anything else.
There is something insane about a lack of doubt. Doubt - to me, anyway - is what makes you human, and without doubt, even the righteous lose their grip, not only on reality but also on their humanity.
You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is one element of faith.

A traditional rabbi is the man to whom the community and its members turn to rule on what Jewish law requires of them, particularly in cases of doubt.
Test yourself on mankind. It is something that makes the doubter doubt, the believer believe.
Doubt your doubts before you doubt your beliefs.
