How to Prove to a Friend That Hashem Chose the People of Israel?

Yoni asks: "Hello, I would like to know how to prove to a friend that the God Judaism speaks of is the truth. He does not dismiss the belief in a god but seeks proof among all religions, arguing that a person's happiness is their own religion, while he claims religions have ruined the world."

Hello and Greetings,

Our patriarch Abraham was the first to oppose all the idolatrous religions in the world, as he saw the falsehood and deception in them. Christianity and Islam are also imitations of Judaism and therefore do not properly present the Creator's will.

But whoever seeks the true manufacturer's instructions and finds the true religion will undoubtedly be happy.

But how do we know the Torah is true?
Well, upon reaching the conclusion that the world has a Creator, the probability of finding the truth is unparalleled –it stands at a 100% logic rate.
99.999% of the world's religions propose gods, demons, and idols with bodies, desires, and disputes that created and manage the world. Since we scientifically know the universe was created, implying there is a Creator not bound by matter and time (hence, without division), and since we know all substances are made from the same thing (atoms) and interact with each other (indicating no wars between good and evil gods in the world) –it is therefore proven that the entity that created the universe and man is one Creator without partners, and without a body or the image of a body. This is proven by the necessity of reality.
Thus, 99.999% of the world's religions are already disqualified from the list and cannot be the truth.
There are, in total, three religions in the world that claim one Creator without a body or the image of a body: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Christianity and Islam were formed after Judaism and are based on it (both Christians and Muslims believe in the Exodus from Egypt and the revelation at Mount Sinai as described in the Scriptures).
Thus, Jewish history must be true (even according to the two religions that imitated it), because while Christianity and Islam acknowledge Jewish history, Judaism does not acknowledge their histories (Christians believe in Moses and the prophets of Israel, but Jews do not regard Jesus and Muhammad as prophets who spoke with the Creator).
Thus, the probability that Judaism is true stands at 100% while Christianity and Islam stand on shaky ground.
It is clear to us that the Creator who created man with such immense wisdom –would not deliver the Torah in a way that anyone could fake. Every respectable psychiatric institution holds at least ten people claiming to speak with God, fairies, aliens, and monsters. We know of many schizophrenics who imagine things that do not exist in reality.
We know that the Creator is wise (from understanding the physics of the universe and the anatomy of life), and therefore, we know with absolute certainty that the Creator would not deliver the Torah foolishly to a single person who could deceive the masses.
Thus, the two religions that imitated Judaism –Christianity and Islam– immediately leave the discussion, as both claim an individual who says God appeared to them in a cave and gave them laws and judgments.
Therefore, Judaism is the only one claiming miracles on a scale that the entire nation witnessed –like the Exodus from Egypt, the plagues, the splitting of the Red Sea, the revelation at Mount Sinai, forty years in the desert, the miraculous conquest of the land, and more. It is the only Torah that withstands the test of history and logic, simply because it is the only one claiming a Torah given to masses in a divine national event.
Hence, Judaism is certainly truth, at 100% without any doubts.
So, we know the Torah is true –because we have faithful history spanning thousands of years, documenting and verifying the mastery of the Creator over the ten plagues of Egypt, the splitting of the Red Sea, forty years in the desert, improbable prophecies fulfilled over more than two thousand years as described in the book of books, and chiefly, the revelation of the Creator to the entire nation of Israel at Mount Sinai.
Our forefathers and their fathers transmitted the Torah, holidays, and commandments faithfully, and were prepared to risk their lives in every generation for its truth. We don’t believe in the Exodus just "because it's written in the Torah", but because our ancestors have passed down the Torah as our national history for 3,300 years. Therefore, the Torah is a national historical testimony that cannot be denied, and those "Scripture deniers" are no different from Holocaust deniers who have emerged in recent years.
Unfortunately, nearly half the world today denies the Holocaust (all Arab countries), but I have not heard of an Israeli child telling their parents they refuse to honor Holocaust Day because it is just "following the herd", and they do not know if there was a Holocaust...
When an entire people transmits national historical events from generation to generation, they cannot be denied rationally.
It is enough for two people to claim there was a murder for us to believe them and convict a person. All the more when an entire nation claims they were witnesses to tremendous events and passes this history to their children and grandchildren –and even celebrates holidays and memorial days to remember it.
The Holocaust is remembered through a moment of silence. But imagine if Holocaust Day were remembered by building camps in the backyard and sleeping in them for seven days, or eating dry, shriveled bread for a week to commemorate the Holocaust. Would anyone then dare to deny the event? Is it possible for an entire nation to agree to adopt harsh customs in memory of a history that never happened?
Yet, the Jewish people have celebrated Sukkot for thousands of years, eating and sleeping in booths for a week. The Jewish people have celebrated Passover for thousands of years, and for a week do not touch chametz, eating matzah and recounting the Exodus as told by their ancestors. Can such strong history be denied? A rational person will not do so.
The Jewish people are the only ones in the world who received the manufacturer's instructions directly from God before an entire nation, in a divine revelation and with miracles proving His control over nature, and there is no Torah that influenced the world more than the Torah of the Jews. The existence of the Jewish people also proves the miraculous control of the Creator over history, as the Jewish people are the only ones in the world to have survived so many annihilations and antisemitism over thousands of years; they were dispersed worldwide, remained few, and survived without rule and army while all empires and ancient peoples mingled and disappeared. Yet after all that, the Jewish people returned to their land after two thousand years of exile, when this entire saga had already been foretold in ancient prophecies in the Torah passed down by the Jewish people for 3,300 years. We know the secret of their eternity!
There are countless historical reasons to believe in the Torah and to know clearly that the Torah of Israel is the truth. No other religion or Torah in the world can even attempt to compete with the historical and miraculous authenticity of the Torah of Israel and the Jewish people. All the principles of faith are clarified in the writings of our sages, like The Kuzari, the Duties of the Heart, and more.
Please search on Google the words "Fateful Talk". Read the booklet from start to finish, and also offer it to your friend, with Hashem's help, you will understand from it the proofs that lead a sincere person to the meaning of life. Highly recommended.
