Modern physics has forever changed the way we view and understand
physical reality. With a wide spectrum of theories, from general
relativity to quantum mechanics, our conceptions of the very big
and the very small are no longer intuitively obvious. Many
philosophers, even scientists have expressed the opinion that the
counterintuitive conclusions posited in modern physics are best
understood using spiritual terminology. In the 11 lectures in this
volume, Harav Ginsburgh, one of our generation's foremost scholars,
innovators, and teachers of Kabbalah, reveals how modern physics
reflects foundational concepts in the Torah's inner dimension. A
wide range of topics from relativity (special and general), quantum
mechanics, and string theory are addressed. Elegantly and
gracefully, Harav Ginsburgh's exposition of the topics switches
back and forth between the scientific and Torah perspectives. With
his deep insight, Harav Ginsburgh gives even well-known physical
concepts a refreshing and new treatment. Apart from carefully
drawing parallels and correspondences between the Torah's inner
dimension and modern physics, in these lectures, Harav Ginsburgh
proposes new directions for scientific research into important
areas such as a unified field theory, CPT symmetry, the
relationship between acceleration and gravitation, and the
possibility of uncovering additional dimensions in physical
reality, demonstrating how the Torah's depth can be used to
fertilize science and further our understanding of nature.
Harav Yitzchak Ginsburgh is one of our generation s foremost
expositors of Kabbalah and Chassidut and is the author of over 100
books in Hebrew, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. The
interface between Torah and science is one of the areas in which he
is known for his breakthrough work, forging a path in
revolutionizing the way we think about the relationship between
Judaism and modern science. He is also the founder and dean of the
Ba al Shem Tov School of Jewish Psychology, and his unique approach
to mathematics in Torah is now the basis of a new math curriculum
for Jewish schools.
Ours is the first generation in modern times to understand the truly universal human condition and to seek to bring all peoples of the earth together in peace and harmony. We are the first generation to truly understand that we are faced with the challenge of either inhabiting our planet harmoniously or not inhabiting it at all.<p> Filling our future is the fundamentalism that threatens to pit one religion against another. But, our different relationships and understandings of G-d should not be the reason for conflict but the source of goodwill in building our relationships with one another and our ability to understand others. The covenant with the Jewish people was not the first made between the Almighty and mankind.<p> Before the revelation at Mt. Sinai, G-d commanded Adam and then made a covenant with Noah, giving them the guidelines for the universal religion of mankind. The most well-known part of this covenant is the seven universal commandments, or the Seven Noahide Laws. For this reason, Judaism and Jews do not proselytize, but rather seek to guide the nations of the world in developing their own relationship with the Almighty and implementing these potentially unifying laws of basic human nature.<p> This book offers you a glimpse into the tremendous mystical power and meaning of G-d's covenant with humanity and the Seven Noahide Laws, as explained in Kabbalah. It focuses on their spiritual and inner dimensions and inspires a deeper look at our best hope for achieving world peace and a better future for all beings.
