Torah study creates worlds





I was reading Shvilei Pinches dvar torah authored by Rabbi Pinches Friedman and it quoted Bereish Rabbah 1,1, where it says HKBH mabit ba'Torah u'borei es Ha'olam, or, "that G-d looked into the Torah and created the world." Rabbi Friedman  said that man's torah study sustains and perpetuates creation. He brings down the Degel Machaneh Ephraim who quotes his brother , Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuzh, and explains that the last words in the Torah, Le'einei Kol Yisroel connects to Bereishis Barah, and it teaches us that when Israel perceives new insights or Chiddushim in Torah, Hakadosh Baruch Who or G-d renews creation every day.

I take this a step further based on Gematria. The Gematria of the phrase, Le'einei Kol Yisroel equals
761. The phrase, used by the Midrash Rabbah, borei es Ha'olam, also equals 761. This teaches us that when the children of Israel find new insights in Torah, G-d is creating worlds...

Hell in Paradise (Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii)

                                               Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii 8-11-2023, courtesy washington post We watch in horror how Lahaina was burnt to a crisp the week of 8-6-23. How can such a beautiful tourist town be wiped out in barely seconds? There were no warnings, no predictions. It happened so quickly perhaps hundreds or maybe even thousands died within the blink of an eye. The death toll as of August 11, 2023 is 55. It will definitely go up as many are unaccounted for.   Many parts of the island have lost communication as cell phone towers were melted. Mankind is no match for nature which is from G-d. It is interesting to note that end days or b'acharis hayamim equals exacly  earlier days or ka yamim harishonim. Both equal 726. Technology can be set back to cave times in a heart beat as witnessed in Hawaii.        Based on my study of Bible/Torah you cant blame climate change but it is based on Judgment from the One above,  who keeps perfect score of every entity across the

thoughts on Poway and charlotte terrorist attacks

Chabad Poway, CA, scene of terrorist attack How can innocent people be mowed down? What crime did they do? Do we have answer? Do we have a clue? Where is justice in this world?  With aid of Gematria, we have a clue into the real mysteries of this world that are basically unanswerable.  In the Torah reading called Mikeitz, Pharoah, king of ancient Egypt, tells Joseph, "I dreamt a dream but there is no interpretation." The phrase in Hebrew is Chalom Chalamti ufoseir ain oso. The Gematria of this term is 1726. A dream with no interpretation are like the tragic events happening all over the world. Things happening and there is no interpretation. No one seems to know why. See Genesis 41:15. Another phrase in the Torah with the same Gematria can be found at Deut. 32:4, where it says, Hatzur  tamim pu'u'lo ki chul di'ruchuv mishpat, or the Rock perfect is His work, for all his paths are justice. Rashi says it refers to reward and punishment. We see the same th

Uvalde Massacre

                                                 courtesy :  yahoo news, some of the victims of Uvalde Massacre We wonder in disbelief how can such an act of brutality happen in this world. One tragic story happens and then another one and then another one. How can we explain these acts of wanton senseless, murder? From a Jewish perspective and from one who studies Bible/Torah, I can share some thoughts. I learned the following from my uncle Sholom Langner. The Torah sections are the following in the book of leviticus; acharei mos , kedoshim, emor . Or, after the death, holy ,,,you can say....It means that only after one dies, the person is sanctified and or that we must say the kadish prayers after the death of a loved one. Kadish prayers are an ancient prayer written in Aramic which praises God in the midst of our pain and suffering. This shows us our true faith in God. Now, what qualifications do I have to talk about the pain and suffering of the families of these victims? Did I suf
