Dr. Elad Ben-Artsi is a senior ophthalmic surgeon based in Tel Aviv, with an academic background in physics, computer science, and biology. Alongside his medical and scientific work, he engages deeply with philosophy and Jewish thought, with particular interest in free will, reason, and faith. He writes for readers seeking an intellectually honest and practical engagement with the foundations of belief, and with Judaism’s articulation of those foundations in the modern world.
If your choices are real, something beyond the physical must exist. This essay argues that free will logically points to a soul—and ultimately, to God.
