New Development: Machine Measures the Impact of Blessings on Food

The aura-measuring machine of Zevulun Rabeiv has already gained significant attention. Rabeiv, who immigrated from Bukhara 40 years ago and has always sought tangible proof of the benefits of observing mitzvot, travels the world lecturing with a device that measures auras, showing that people's auras strengthen when they perform mitzvot. Recently, however, Rabeiv has a new, equally intriguing machine: one that measures the energy of objects involved in a mitzvah.

It all started with a connection formed between Rabeiv and researchers from St. Petersburg University. "They've been studying subjects like life on other planets and the existence of an afterlife for forty years," Rabeiv explains. "They actually invented the world's first aura-measuring device. My machine is an enhancement and development based on their breakthrough."

Leading these enigmatic research efforts at the Russian university is Professor Konstantin Korotkov, a professor of computer science, biophysics, information technology, mechanics, and optics. Korotkov's experiments are known for raising eyebrows among other scientists, but it's hard to question his expertise and professionalism. Among other things, Korotkov has proven that water becomes 'glowing' when exposed to love, and that a person's aura changes after death, depending on the manner of passing (peaceful, painful, or by suicide).

Professor Korotkov and his team at St. Petersburg University recently developed a new device that measures energy levels. Among the experiments conducted were those measuring the energy levels of various wheat seeds, followed by tracking to see if highly energetic wheat indeed grew better. "Sometimes, when they observed particularly high energy levels in wheat," says Rabeiv, "they examined it thoroughly and found a worm with an egg inside. This life inside the wheat gave it additional energy."

Rabeiv visited the university this past summer and asked the team to try the machine. "I told them I could influence the energy of various products," he recounts. The 'influence' he intended to test was the blessings over enjoyment. When the researcher gave him a nut, after an initial energy photograph, Rabeiv blessed the nut, ate half of it, and gave the remainder to the researcher to photograph. The results were astounding: the piece of nut, half the size of the whole nut, had twice the energy level.

The shocked researcher summoned the head of the team, Professor Konstantin Korotkov. "He came, and she explained what I was doing," Rabeiv says. "He asked if I could influence energy without eating the items. I told him yes. They brought him two small connected cherries, I blessed, ate one, and let them test the other. As expected, its energy increased."

What happened to the nuts and cherries was described by Professor Korotkov with the words: "You activated the fruits": Rabeiv, through the blessings on the fruits, gave them double energy, effectively 'waking them to life.' "They think these are my special powers," jokes Rabeiv. "I didn't tell them that I'm simply an observant Jewish man who meticulously blesses before eating." But the visualized energy is not the only thing that changes in the fruit: according to researchers at St. Petersburg University, consuming the fruits after their 'activation' is better for health and the environment.

Rabeiv returned from Russia with a new purchase: an energy-measuring machine from St. Petersburg University's production line. "It cost me seventy thousand shekels, but it was worth it. In the meantime, I've already conducted additional tests on varying energy levels of an apple, perfume, wine, and oil, after saying a blessing," he reports.

Rabeiv intends to present the new machine to audiences worldwide, hoping that they, like him, will be impressed by the data showing that when we bless our food, we not only fulfill a mitzvah but also create a tangible positive change in the food we consume.
