5 Points You Might Not Have Considered

The Marvelous Garment

Would you believe me if I told you there's a special garment that, if torn, immediately and automatically reweaves itself in a perfect way, so that you can't tell it was ever torn? Furthermore, this garment grows along with the wearer and adjusts to their new measurements. Could such a thing exist? It sounds imaginary!

Yet there is such a garment... it is the skin covering our bodies. It expands and lengthens as needed, and if there's a cut in the skin, it heals effectively without a visible scar, all automatically.

Is it possible that this process came about on its own without a Creator and Designer?

The Creator of the world, in His great mercy, ensured that the "suit" on our bodies grows with us and stays whole through internal biological processes by cell division and their automatic and constant renewal. He established a self-healing mechanism in the body: the blood clotting system, which prevents blood loss, and systems that bind and close the tear.

How fortunate we are to have a Creator and Designer who has thought of every detail in our world and our bodies!

Love or Hate?

Yesterday I took my car to the Hizma area, and two minorities thoroughly cleaned it.

Suddenly it hit me that the people providing me service are Arabs! In fact, if we look around, we'll see that they are the ones who actually build our apartment buildings and our synagogues, and they even wash our cars.

This is a surprising phenomenon that defies all logic: Arabs, who wish to destroy us, the Jews, and see our presence in Israel as a thorn in their side, are the ones serving us and even building the country for us...

Minorities living in other countries around the world also engage in such work, but it doesn't involve a hostile minority providing services to people they view as enemies, as happens here. It defies all common sense! How does this happen?

I couldn't help but recall the blessing of Isaac our forefather to his son Jacob:

"May peoples serve you and nations bow to you; Be master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow to you" (Genesis 27:29).

This blessing serves as a prophecy destined to be fulfilled with the children of Jacob, the children of Israel, meaning that the nations—descendants of Ishmael and Esau—will serve and even serve the Jewish nation.

It's amazing how a situation that defies all logic indeed materializes before our eyes!

"I Only Believe What I See"

"I only believe what I see... What I don't see—doesn't exist." How many times have we heard this claim when it comes to belief in the Creator? But this is a big mistake.

Even science proves the existence of forces in nature that are not visible to the eye, nor to the most sophisticated microscope.

The gravitational force of the Earth was proven by Isaac Newton in the 17th century, and every child now knows of its existence. X-rays were discovered in the 19th century by Wilhelm Röntgen, and they are used very effectively in medicine. And so on—sound waves, light waves, radio waves, etc.—we know they exist, yet we haven't seen them, nor do we expect to see them.

Even without being scientists, we can ascertain their existence based on their consequences or outcomes. For example, anything that falls to the ground is proof of gravity, just as our ability to walk on the ground, rather than float above it. Or: the precise imaging of our bone structure, seen and received at the X-ray institute, attests to the existence of X-rays.

Thus, the inability to see something doesn't necessarily indicate that the thing itself doesn't exist. The wonderful world we live in—with everything in it, with the forces and laws of nature—is evidence of the existence of a Creator who made it, even if we cannot see Him.

Our eyes only see what has a physical expression, but Hashem is not material (He has no body or form of a body) and cannot be comprehended physically.

Jerusalem - To Whom Is It Holy?

I have a question for you: Is Jerusalem as holy to Muslims as it is to Jews?

Before you answer, there are 3 facts you should know:

1. Jerusalem appears in the Quran... 0 times! And in the Bible, it is mentioned 667 times! Incidentally, the name "Palestine" is not mentioned at all either.

2. Jews pray toward Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, while Muslims pray toward the city of 'Mecca' in Saudi Arabia. Even when they bow in prayer in Jerusalem, they turn their backs and behinds to the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock, a place supposedly sacred to them!

3. Jerusalem has been holy to Jews since it was established in the days of King David, about 3,000 years ago. At that time, Muslims were idolaters, and Islam did not yet exist (Muhammad lived about 1,400 years ago)

So then, why do they demand anything from us concerning Jerusalem?

Fish Kosher Certification

Would you agree with me that the reliability of the Bible would dissolve if a single small mistake were found within it? Yet for about 3,500 years to this day, not a single mistake has been found! No discovery has contradicted the words of the Torah.

Here's an example: The Torah states, "These you may eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales" (Deuteronomy 14:9). And the oral Torah gives the definition: "Anything that has scales has fins, but there can be some with fins that have no scales" (Tractate Niddah, Chapter 6 Mishnah 9).

The Giver of the Torah declares and reveals a law of nature embedded in creation: any fish or other water creature that has scales must also have fins, but having fins does not necessarily mean it has scales.

In other words, "the author of the Torah," who claimed and committed to this fact, had to at least control about 75% of the Earth’s surface, which is water, have X-ray vision to identify every sea fish worldwide through the water, know the anatomical structure of the fish, and commit to a statement valid over thousands of years.

The astonishing thing is that all fish and other water creatures, whether discovered in the past or discovered from time to time to this very day—all without exception—conform to this law of nature: any fish in the water with scales also has fins.

Is there anyone who could have known this with certainty, besides the Creator of the world? The logical conclusion is that the one who made such a claim is the Creator of the world, who knows all His creations well. It is written: "You made the heavens... the seas and all that is in them, and You sustain them all..." (from the Shacharit prayer).
