What Is the Human Body Worth? 5 Points to Ponder

An Advanced Creation Without a Creator?

Every rational person understands that there is no house without planning and construction, no chair without a carpenter who made it, and the large chandelier was hung by an electrician from the ceiling while standing on a ladder...

So, who is the "electrician" who hung the sun in the sky? Who connected it to the "socket" - a kind of giant heater that has been plugged in for almost 6,000 years without ever shutting off? And who is responsible for the planets that orbit their paths continuously and without deviation, never colliding with each other? There is no doubt that someone has organized this.

Are we aware that the most advanced camera in the world is not found in a store but is placed at the front of our head and is not made of filaments, digital buttons, or technical equipment, but of flesh and blood? Let's consider just one part of the eye's structure - the lens. The lens is located behind the iris and pupil and is constructed in layers like an onion. It can change its thickness by the ciliary muscles, thus altering the light rays' refractive index according to the distance of the object the eye is looking at (according to Wikipedia). Who created this amazing camera?

Or let's consider our ear's structure, which connects to the brain through tens of thousands of nerve cells, each transmitting information about sound or tone characteristics, frequency, and intensity – isn't it ridiculous to claim it created itself, and has no copyright?!

Who ensured that when you run and the body gets tired, only the heart does not tire? Not only that, but at that moment, the heart muscle works even more vigorously! Whether you are awake or asleep, this is the only organ that never "goes to sleep" but operates continuously for 70 years, without batteries and without a charger – is all this by "chance"?!

Above all, could it be that the human brain - which manages all your body's actions, more advanced and sophisticated than any computer in the world - has no designer?!

What Is the Human Body Worth?

Even without a phone call from Araleh, let me inform you that you're a millionaire!

Suppose a relative of yours lacks an organ filtering blood and removing waste from the body - kidneys... He needs to come about three times a week to the hospital for dialysis – a treatment using a machine that filters the blood in the body for several hours. It's clear to us that a person cannot live without a kidney. If the cost of a kidney transplant currently stands at a million shekels, would you pay this amount for it?... Certainly!

Suppose a relative of yours is blind and needs a cornea transplant. If the cost of a cornea transplant currently stands at a million shekels, would you pay this amount for it?... Certainly!

Suppose a relative of yours needs a lung transplant. He does not breathe except thanks to an oxygen balloon attached to him, which he must carry 24 hours a day. If the cost of a lung transplant currently stands at a million shekels, would you pay this amount for it? Certainly!

Suppose one of your relatives did not "win" a womb to carry her fetus for nine months, and she needs a "womb for rent," or a relative did not have viable sperm. What do you think is the price that couple would pay for the wonderful right to be parents to children?

Nowadays, a black market is developing worldwide for the sale of organs for transplant. One can do a sad calculation and answer the question: What is a human worth? There is a price for the cornea, even for sperm and eggs, of course - for a blood transfusion. There is an option today to rent a womb for couples struggling to have children: a surrogate mother. However, no one has yet to offer to sell their heart. A heart has no price in the world...

We have the fortune of complete and healthy organs, functioning organs, worth a fortune! We should thank Hashem not only after the pain has ceased but should give thanks every single day in advance that we are not in pain and are feeling well... Baruch Hashem!

The Heartbeat – Science Has No Answers

The heartbeat is a wonder in itself.

The heart is an advanced pump that circulates blood to the body through beats. In each beat, the heart contracts and relaxes. When the heart relaxes, it fills with blood, and when it contracts, it forcefully pushes the blood out and circulates it to the body. The heart essentially operates in perfect coordination with two pumps simultaneously: the right pump fills with unoxygenated blood from the body and pushes it to the lungs. The left pump receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and circulates it to all body parts.

There are a few interesting questions:

1. Heart rate: How does the heart know when to beat? And how does it maintain a constant rate? An irregular heart rate disrupts the body's systems and can indicate a fundamental problem with heart function...

2. Beat strength: How does the heart know to adjust the beating strength precisely to each of the body's organs? The heart sends blood to the nearby lungs and simultaneously sends blood to places far from it in the body. Each organ receives blood at the appropriate strength. If blood reached the lungs too forcefully, they would be damaged, and conversely - if sent to the limbs with too little power, the blood would not reach, and they would become necrotic...

3. Heart structure: The heart has four chambers. It has "safety valves" that open and close as needed so that oxygen-rich blood does not mix with unoxygenated blood, the blood coming from the lungs with the blood sent there. Who designed this perfect structure? Could it have been "by chance"?

4. Heart function during exertion: When the body is exerted, the blood pumping rate increases up to eight times more than during rest. How does the heart know to increase activity when needed, and how does it know to return to "normalmode" automatically?

Above all... note: A healthy person is entirely unaware of what is happening inside their heart! This, too, is among the mercies of the Creator: If a person were aware of everything happening in their heart and all the systems in their body, they would be so troubled they could not function. Therefore, the body operates automatically and involuntarily, without bothering its owner.

There is no substitute for the natural heart designed and created by the Creator. Man has succeeded in producing an artificial heart, a kind of electric pump the size of a natural heart. However, the materials from which the artificial heart is made cannot withstand more than two years. The artificial heart requires external energy, and no energy supplier, battery, can last long in the patient's body. Therefore, the use of an artificial heart is only temporary until a heart donation for transplant is found. And with our natural heart, one can live up to 120 years without replacing it!

The New Moon – Exact Science in the Torah

Could it be that the Torah, written thousands of years ago, includes precise astronomical data, which NASA (the American space agency) discovered only recently?

The day of the new moon is the beginning of the Hebrew month. The time period from one new moon to the next is called the 'length of the new moon cycle.'

It is important to note that since the dates of the Jewish festivals mentioned in the Torah are according to the Hebrew calendar (for example, the holiday of Pesach on the fifteenth of Nisan), there is significant halachic importance in determining the day of the new month, which, as mentioned, depends on the new moon.

Pay attention to the following precise data: In the Talmud (Tractate Rosh Hashanah 25a), it is stated that the renewal of the moon occurs every 29.53059 days exactly.

And here is a study by NASA - conducted over several years with a huge budget - concluded that the length of the moon's renewal from new moon to new moon is 29.530588! A similar study conducted in Berlin, Germany, concluded 29.530589 days!

A fraction of a second difference between the Torah's knowledge and modern-day research, conducted by investing millions of dollars with the most advanced scientific tools!

Consider this: Rabban Gamliel and the rabbis of the Mishnah had no sophisticated technological tools to calculate and arrive at this precise number. How did they know? They received it in the Oral Torah, given at Sinai by the Creator of the world, who knows the secrets of His world.

From this, it becomes clear that it is not possible that a human factor wrote the Torah of Israel, which has existed for thousands of years. Only the one who created the moon can know the exact timing of its renewal, as it is said "He made the moon for seasons" (Psalms 104:19).

One Torah in All the Diasporas

Since the destruction of the Second Temple, Jews lived in exile for about 2,000 years and were scattered all over the world until about 70 years ago, when the Jewish people returned to their land, the Land of Israel. During all those years of exile, Jews were scattered without phones and without the internet, almost without any communication, and yet...

Jews from all the diaspora brought with them the same thousands of halachot - such as circumcision, keeping Shabbat, and tefillin - without any change! In Yemen, they performed the circumcision exactly as they did in Poland. Jews all over the world practiced the exact same Torah!

In the Torah, there are 304,805 letters. If we check all the Torah scrolls from all the countries where Israel has been exiled, we find that it is the same copy of the Torah scroll: without any mistake, without addition or omission of even one letter! In contrast, the Quran and the New Testament have countless versions...

This supernatural phenomenon fulfills the promise given to the people of Israel by the Creator of the world: "...My words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your children and the mouth of your children's children," says Hashem, "from now and forever" (Isaiah 59:21).

The Creator of the world and the orchestrator of history gave the Torah, and only He can ensure that the Torah will never be forgotten by the people of Israel – He promised and fulfilled.
