The Significance of the Seven Burning Candles: About the Source to the Three Symbols of the Torah

By Zur Rachel

The first sentence of the Bible is a key to the five books of the Torah. Specifically, the essence of the Magen David (star of David), the Menorah, and the Ark of the Covenant are encoded in this sentence. Furthermore, measurements of the Tabernacle, which housed the Torah, hint at a master DNA-like code, that underlies the structure of the Torah. Using the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, it can be inferred that each letter in the Torah represents a basic information unit. The words that these letters form disclose unique patterns that reflect a supernatural authorship and immutable, divine truths.

Zur Rachel

Born in kibbutz Ein Gev in 1939 and raised in a secular family, the author studied what being Jewish meant to him after getting his PhD in elementary particle physics from the Weizmann Institute in Rehovoth, Israel. While working most of his life for the Israel defense community as both experimentalist and theoretician of ballistics phenomena, and becoming known for his contributions in the area of conventional warhead mechanisms, he continued to search for answers by studying the book of Genesis in particular. He now describes the discoveries he made during the last three decades. Now retired, he lives in Netanya, Israel.

About the source to the three symbols of the Torah:

The Magen David, the holy Menorah and the Ark of Covenant

(Interoperating the Torah in view of the updated scientific knowledge)

Why did G-d gather Israel from all over the world? Every group of Jews that arrives at Israel brings with it the smell, the taste the folklore and the particular life wisdom of the land it came from. This legacy must be strictly kept and preserved. On the days The House of the Lord will stand at the top of the hills in Jerusalem and people of all the nations will come to pray in it, we must accept them in the best hospitality, and bring them into huts, Sukkoth, where they will feel like being at home. Only those people who came from their specific land will know how to give them this kind of welcome. It is an essential part of the feelings of solidarity that must prevail on these meetings. Thus, the nice idea of solidarity that inspired people since Mozart and Beethoven, will become a reality thanks to the only one who can make ideals come true, the G-d of Israel. He will do it by the fulfillment of the vision of the prophets, by means of the Nation of Israel, who will live according to the Torah in all the promised land.

The last day

And his glory appeared on the surface of the earth

The hills became covered with smoke.

And nothing moved any more in the world

When all was in tension to hear the Lord.

And Israel still is at the foot of Mount Sinai

Standing to listen to the words from heaven

And the sound of SHOFAR tearing the desert

Is heard all over to glorify God.

The day had arrived of giving the Torah

When our nation was facing the Mount of Sinai

And the same event will be coming again

On the day that the Lord will judge all the nations

In all parts of the earth of all the world wherever mankind dwells, stays or lives.

Who will ascent his mountain of holy?

The clean hearted who in helping of others believes.

Do not believe that to live means to sin

Even if that’s how a woman gets pregnant

For full three days they avoided their woman

To be ready to get the Torah from heaven.

The prophet foresaw whatever he said

Because G-d had assigned him this mission,

But at the end each bond-woman will see

Again with her own eyes G-d’s vision.

Like she saw on the sea, then will Israel view

Again his father’s immensely big power.

And what he will see he will not understand,

Only horror and fear and the glory, in shower.

AN INTRODUCTION TO FEW OF THE MANY BIBLICAL CODES

The Torah is not a book for studying physics. However, the Torah uses physics and mathematics as a tool to illustrate for us what the duties of mankind are in this world at large, and what the duties of the Nation of Israel are specifically, in securing the preservation of this world, that was created in the first the six days. The Torah is making use of the uncertainty principle of quantum theory for example, to tell us that the unit of information used in it is one letter. Thus, there is no meaning in attempting to break the Hebrew letters into their constituents in order to find additional insights. We shall show in this book how the Torah is reaching into these depths by methodically analyzing some types of the hidden codes of the Torah that we have become aware of so far. We finally conclude that the Torah and the physical world are both based on quantum mechanics. They thus reflect the qualities of each other but it is the Torah which is in control because it is unchangeable. In deriving this conclusion we find a direct connection between the first sentence of the Bible, the building of the first temple by King Solomon and the definition by Max Plank of the physical constant h, named after him. It demonstrates the fact that G-d controls those parameters of history that are crucial to our understanding of the Torah over all the generations. Moreover, this observation shows that G-d indeed controls the minds of people when they are making lasting contributions to the progress of our culture, either for the good, as in the discovery by Plank, or for the bad, as in the case of the decisions made by Pharoe when facing Moses and Aaron. It also makes the debate whether the Torah was written by more than one person totally irrelevant. Physically the text of both: I. Kings and Genesis was not written by one man but the idea connecting them could only be coded into the text by the one mind, who invented quantum mechanics.

In this book I avoided using Kabalistic sources because that would make it expand too much for me. However, it is expected that the ideas expressed here will lead when relating them to the Kabala in the future to flourishing fruitful results. The same applies to the Talmud that is shown in Book III part 5 to get an extremely strong confirmation by the findings presented.

It took me many years of research to reach the conclusions that
