'The Source' A blog post by Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui, explores the idea that ancient Jewish law, particularly as explained by Maimonides, contains principles that resonate with modern scientific concepts, specifically quantum mechanics. The author uses the example of the prohibition against charging interest in Jewish law and a specific ruling regarding a lender who converts to Judaism to illustrate a parallel with the quantum concept of superposition and collapse, where possibilities exist until a 'measurement' or determining event occurs. Ultimately, the post suggests that the Torah's wisdom is deeply connected to the nature of reality, demonstrating a harmony between faith and scientific discovery.

This text explores the profound significance of scent across both ancient spiritual traditions and modern scientific understanding. It highlights the unique spiritual purity attributed to smell in Jewish thought, citing its untouched status during the fall and its association with the soul and divine connection. The piece then connects this spiritual view to Jewish ritual, particularly the Ketoret incense offering, explaining its mystical and practical purposes. Finally, it discusses contemporary scientific findings regarding olfaction, noting the complexity of the olfactory system and the direct link between scent and the limbic system, which processes memory and emotion, ultimately suggesting a fascinating parallel between ancient wisdom and modern discovery.

An article by Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui, explores the surprising connections between ancient Torah principles and the findings of modern quantum mechanics, particularly the concept of quantum entanglement. The author posits that the timeless wisdom of the Torah, which has sustained Jewish tradition, offers a framework for understanding the fundamental blueprint of the universe that science is now uncovering. He draws on the teachings of Maimonides, who emphasized the study of the natural world as a path to understanding the divine, to illustrate how the Torah recognizes a form of entanglement, demonstrated through an example of impurity laws regarding water and its owner. The article suggests that the Torah's insights into interconnectedness predate and even go beyond modern scientific observations of entanglement, implying a deeper, more persistent form of linkage that can operate in the everyday world, and highlighting a potential harmony between ancient religious texts and contemporary scientific discovery. www.physicsofthemystics@gmail.com
