Connecting Torah Wisdom to the 70 Nations:

Gaddi Efrayim of Beit Yisrael International, inspired by the luminous teachings of Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh(inner.org) — the great master of Chassidut and Kabbalah — seeks to stand among the nations as an active participant in the unfolding journey of divine wisdom.

Rabbi Ginsburgh, our generation’s most revered authority on Jewish mysticism, has become a bridge between Torah and the sciences, revealing how the ancient light of creation harmonizes with the modern intellect.

Rabbi Ginsburgh has devoted much of his time and energy to writing original works of Chassidic thought based upon his unique system and methodology. These works are prepared, published and distributed by Gal Einai of the Holy Land.

Hundreds of his taped lectures and seminars are also distributed. His rare brilliance integrates mathematics, music, philosophy, and psychology with the infinite depth of Torah, showing that all paths of wisdom ultimately converge toward the One Source.

Despite his vast mastery, he remains a model of humility and serenity, radiating the gentle presence of a true tzaddik.

Through his profound works, teachings, and melodies, Rabbi Ginsburgh continues to awaken souls to the inner dimensions of reality, inspiring Beit Yisrael International to unite the wisdom of Torah and science for the redemption of all humanity, in fulfillment of the vision that the light of Torah shall shine through all seventy languages to the 70 nations in 70 dimensions.

“In the Six Hundredth Year of the Sixth Millennium — The Gates of Wisdom Open: The Nations Possess Knowledge, but Only Israel Possesses Torah Wisdom. Believe that the nations possess wisdom, but do not believe that they possess Torah Wisdom.”

Sages Saying: —

“Believe that there is knowledge/wisdom among the nations, but do not believe that there is Torah Knowledge/Wisdom among the nations.”

Gaddi’s Notes on the Eternal Wisdom of the Prominent Sages”:

“Torah Bridging the Physical and the Divine World”

The sages teach that Upper Wisdom is above divine wisdom flows from the Divine — pure, eternal, and unchanging — while Lower Wisdom relates to the mundane world which governs the physical, scientific, and worldly understanding. Both emerge from the Creator, yet only the Torah unites heaven and earth.

The sages teach that there are two forms of wisdom:

Upper Wisdom — flowing from the Divine, pure and eternal.

Lower Wisdom — the knowledge of the physical world, science, and nature.

Both come from the same Creator… yet only Torah bridges them.

As the sages said: “Believe there is wisdom among the nations, but not Torah.” Worldly knowledge reveals creation; Torah reveals the Creator.

The purpose of true wisdom is to bridge the physical and the divine — to elevate human understanding until all knowledge becomes a vessel for holiness.

“Or HaGanuz — The Hidden Light of Creation: Where Torah and Science Converge”

“Let There Be Light — The Divine Energy Behind All Sciences”

The phrase “Let there be light — hidden light” (Yehi Or — Or HaGanuz) in the Torah (Genesis 1:3) has fascinated not only Torah scholars and Kabbalists, but also thinkers who see its resonance across the 10 Core Natural Sciences — physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, computer science, and environmental sciences. According to the Jewish sages, this “light” is not merely physical illumination, but the primordial divine energy — the blueprint of creation itself. When we explore this light through the lens of modern science, guided by the insights of Kabbalah, Midrash, Zohar, and Chassidut, we discover a remarkable correspondence between the Torah’s mystical teachings and the scientific structure of the universe.

I. “Let There Be Light” — The Primordial Burst of Divine Energy

Torah Source:

“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)

Sages’ Insight:

The Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah 3:4) explains that this was not the light of the sun, moon, or stars (created later on Day 4), but a spiritual light — Or HaGanuz, the hidden light by which Adam could see “from one end of the world to the other.” God later concealed it for the righteous in the days of Mashiach.

Scientific Parallel – Physics:

This corresponds beautifully to what modern science calls the Big Bang — the initial release of pure energy that later condensed into matter and radiation. The Kabbalists, long before modern physics, described creation beginning with a burst of divine light, known as the Tzimtzum — the divine contraction that made space for finite existence (Arizal, Etz Chaim). The Hidden Light (Or HaGanuz) represents the quantum field or unified energy underlying all forms of matter — the unseen energy that sustains all physical phenomena.

Zohar (I:31b):

“This light is the light of the Ein Sof (Infinite One), concealed within creation, and it is the soul of all existence.”

II. The Chemistry of Light — Divine Energy Manifest in Matter

Torah Insight:

The sages teach that “God looked into the Torah and created the world” (Zohar II:161a). In this sense, the Torah is the blueprint of the elements of creation — the divine code that defines all matter and energy.

Chemistry Parallel:

In chemistry, light (photons) interacts with matter to drive reactions — from photosynthesis to the bonding of atoms. The hidden light in Torah terms is the divine energy that animates atomic structure and binds creation together.

Midrash Tanchuma (Pekudei 3):

“The Mishkan was built as a microcosm of the universe, and its light mirrors the light that sustains all creation.”

Insight:

This means that even the energy binding molecules — the electromagnetic force — is an echo of the original Or HaGanuz, the creative energy through which divine wisdom sustains matter.

Biochemistry — The Hidden Spark Within Living Matter

Torah Source:

“And God breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” (Genesis 2:7)

Sages’ Insight:

The Zohar (II:99b) calls this divine breath “the subtle fire of the soul.” It animates the inert elements with life. The Arizal (Etz Chaim, Sha’ar HaNekudot) describes how divine energy descends through spiritual “molecules” — sparks (nitzotzot) that structure life’s chemistry.

Scientific Parallel — Biochemistry:

The molecular dance of enzymes, nucleic acids, and proteins reflects the Torah’s idea of Divine Speech clothed in physical processes. Biochemists describe energy transfer (ATP, electron chains) — all manifestations of “light within matter.” Midrash Tehillim 36:10: “For with You is the source of life; in Your light do we see light.” This “light within life” is the divine biochemistry sustaining all organisms — the concealed Or HaGanuz animating metabolism

III. Mathematics — The Language of Divine Light

Torah Insight:

The Sefer Yetzirah, attributed to Avraham Avinu, explains that the world was created through 32 paths of wisdom — the 10 Sefirot and 22 Hebrew letters — forming the mathematical structure of creation. “He created His universe with three books: with text (Sefer), number (Sefar), and speech (Sippur).” — Sefer Yetzirah 1:1

Mathematics Parallel:

Mathematics is the language of light — describing patterns, harmony, and the structure of the cosmos. The sages understood that divine light manifests through measure, proportion, and symmetry (Ramban on Genesis 1:1). The 10 Sefirot parallel the 10 dimensions described in modern theoretical physics (String Theory).

The balance of Chesed and Gevurah, expansion and contraction, parallels positive and negative charges, entropy and order, light and vessel.

In Kabbalah, light (Or) and vessel (Kli) operate in mathematical precision — light is infinite potential, vessels are finite structures; their harmony creates the universe.

IV. Biology — The Living Light

Torah Insight:

The Zohar (II:148b) says: “Every soul is a spark from the supernal light.” Life itself is a manifestation of divine light clothed in physical form. The Torah calls the human soul “Ner Hashem Nishmat Adam” — “The soul of man is the lamp of God” (Proverbs 20:27).

Biology Parallel:

At the cellular level, all life depends on light energy — photosynthesis, bioluminescence, and even the bio-photons emitted by living cells (discovered in modern science) — hint that life literally radiates light. DNA can be seen as a living Torah scroll — a divine code written in four “letters” (A, T, G, C), paralleling the four letters of the Divine Name (Yod–Heh–Vav–Heh).

The spark of life is the infusion of divine energy — the “breath of life” (Genesis 2:7).

Rebbe Nachman of Breslov said (Likkutei Moharan I:1): “All vitality flows from light — the light of wisdom — for the soul is light, and wisdom is the source of life.” Thus, the Or HaGanuz is present within every cell — the hidden divine energy animating biological life.

Zoology — The Breath and Wisdom of Living Creatures

Torah Source:

“And the Lord formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens.” (Genesis 2:19)

Sages’ Insight:

The Talmud (Berakhot 10a) teaches that animals also praise their Creator — each species embodying a unique form of divine service. The Midrash Rabbah (Genesis 10:7) calls them “ministers of the King,” manifesting the diversity of divine wisdom.

Scientific Parallel — Zoology:

Each creature is a reflection of a specific attribute of the Divine — strength (lion), humility (ox), majesty (eagle). The sages see this in Ezekiel’s Merkavah vision (Ezekiel 1:10): the four faces — lion, ox, eagle, man — representing the cosmic harmony of all life forms. Zohar II:42b: “All creatures sing together in the symphony of existence.” Zoology thus studies the living Torah of creation, where the hidden light expresses itself as instinct, motion, and consciousness.

V. Computer Science — The Digital Reflection of Creation

Torah Insight:

The Ten Utterances of Creation (“And God said…”) are divine commands — codes of speech that manifest reality. In Chassidic thought, creation is a continuous data stream of divine speech (Dvar Hashem Nitzav La’olam — “the word of God stands forever,” Psalm 119:89).

Computer Science Parallel:

This directly parallels information theory: all existence is encoded information — binary light and darkness, signal and silence, 1 and 0. The sages describe creation as sustained by divine speech — a form of spiritual code constantly generating the world’s data. Rabbi Moshe Cordovero (Ramak) explains in Pardes Rimonim that the divine letters are “spiritual frequencies,” each carrying energy patterns that define creation. Thus, in computer science terms, the hidden light is the source code of reality — divine energy encoded through the Torah’s letters and sustained by the Divine Algorithm of creation.

VI. Environmental Science — The Harmony of Light and Life

Torah Insight:

The Torah begins with light and ends with blessing — “The Adonai will make His face shine upon you” (Numbers 6:25). Creation’s light is meant to sustain harmony between humanity and nature. The Midrash (Kohelet Rabbah 7:13) teaches: “When God created Adam, He said: See My works, how beautiful and praiseworthy they are. Take care that you do not corrupt and destroy My world.”

Environmental Science Parallel:

This reflects the delicate balance of the biosphere, maintained by solar energy, photosynthesis, and the carbon cycle — all dependent on light. The hidden light in creation is the life-sustaining energy flow through the web of existence. Kabbalah calls this the Sefirah of Yesod — the channel of divine flow that connects all worlds. Human responsibility (Tikkun Olam) is to maintain that light flow — to live in harmony with divine creation rather than consume it destructively.

VII. The Light of Mashiach — The Revelation of the Hidden Light

The sages teach (Pesikta Rabbati 36; Zohar I:31b): “The light that God created on the first day — He saw that it was too great for this world, and hid it for the righteous in the time to come — the days of Mashiach.” This Or HaGanuz, the hidden light, will be revealed as the Light of Mashiach, uniting all branches of wisdom — Torah and science, spirit and matter — into one divine knowledge. The prophet Isaiah foresaw this: “The earth will be filled with the knowledge of Hashem as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9). In Kabbalistic terms, this means that the light within all sciences, all wisdoms, and all creations will be revealed as expressions of one divine reality — “Yehi Or — Yehi Mashiach.”

The Unified Vision — The Hidden Light of Mashiach

“The Zohar says: ‘When the Hidden Light is revealed, all the worlds shall become one.’In the era of Mashiach, this concealed radiance — the Or HaGanuz — will shine through all wisdoms. Science and Torah will no longer be separate languages, but two reflections of one truth. Astronomy will gaze into the heavens and see the Divine. Biology will study life and discover the soul. Ecology will restore Eden upon the earth.And all creation will echo a single verse:‘The earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Hashem, as the waters cover the sea.’”

“The Hidden Light never vanished.It lives within the atom,within the heart,within the Torah,and within you.To walk in its glowis to see the unity in all things —the science of life,the song of creation,and the light of Mashiach —all shining as one.”
