Hebrew/Torah is FRACTAL: The DNA of Creation - Rabbi Mordechai Kraft

Lecture given on August 21st 2008.

Please Note: The term Israelite (perhaps the proper term for a Jew or person of ANY faith,) refers to one who "is on the way to Creator," accordingly, and despite popular misconceptions, everyone is welcome to this STATE of MIND... Further, it is said that NOT ONE WORD of TORAH is about this world, but about that which is HIGHER. (Just notice the contradictions in Torah, then think through them.)

Also;

1) Hebrew is written and read right to left.
2) Like English with its 2 forms to the alphabet, an upper and lower case version, Hebrew has a "block and a cursive script." Sometimes this Rabbi mixes both forms when writing a single word, which can easily be confusing.
3) There are 22 letters in Hebrew, each is a consonant. Vowels are not considered as letters, and are depicted as dots or bars. All vowels do is to change the way that the associated consonant is pronounced.
4) You may find it useful to use this or other articles as a tool as you watch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_script

Important Note: I suggest that Hebrew and Torah are fractal as depicted in this lecture because of the way each word or letter is related to every other word, and by so many modes. This fractal is in a sense, only metaphoric, or philosophic, and is not exactly real in the physical dimension. But please see the work of Dan Winter and/or Stan Tenen to examine more physical representations of the ways that Hebrew and Torah manifest as real fractals to/in/of the Universe. (As just one example, in order to prevent alterations, the Torah is a giant 3 dimensional spiral with locks and keys built in along each edge or rotation.) It is sufficient to say here, that the letter shapes, the graphical representation of their pronunciation and the layout of the Torah are highly advanced fractals to/of Creation, again, on many levels.

I claim fair use of this lecture recording for education purposes and without any monetary gain. Downloaded freely (or with a tzedakah gift) from www.TorahAnytime.com. (Original title of the lecture is "Hebrew the DNA of Creation.")

Thank you to Rabbi Kraft and to all students seeking connection, to those who aren't, to those at TorahAnytime.com, and to He, She or They that gave Torah and all other Sacred books...

I am a Christian and this helped me a lot. As a preacher there are things that God laid in my heart. I've taught and wrote about them, but many found then untenable. I just got confirmation based on the Hebrew analysis of the meaning of words, especially, love, giving and marriage.

For the first time, I got a real desire to learn Hebrew. Interesting stuff.

@ogwemigo Isn't wonderful to finally have a real definition for Love and marriage?!

So pleased that you found this to be inspiring...

This is the best lesson I have had in my whole life. Thanks be to God for you! I am a Christian fighting against odds to learn Hebrew :) and you have helped me a lot! Btw, when one looks at the dalet-vav-zayin mentioned in the context of marriage, written in the cursive script (handwritten), one can see that the vav is like a mirror and G\Z are reflecting one upon the other. This makes me think that one man shapes another and that we see ourselves in\through others. :) Toda raba!

@chaveraoh What an excellent comment and observation about reflection between relationships! I couldn't agree more! And look, no arguing over words, because they define themselves!

I'm very pleased that this talk helps make learning Hebrew interesting and fun for you! So you must thank Rabbi Kraft for this lecture, I just posted it here on the tube... (But you're most welcome.)

[rpommels]

Thanks for responding.Do you have more videos on hebrew letters? would love to learn along!!

[FractalInfinities]

@rpommels You're welcome!

I wish I did have more. However on the TorahAnytime webpage, if you look through Rabbi Kraft's lectures, there are several there that have to do with this particular type of study. (Some titles are more indicative than others.) Also, if you check out Stan Tenen, and some earlier Dan Winter lectures, you'll get some interesting stuff from a different perspective. Otherwise, I don't think youtube is really the place. It's probably best to talk to a more learned person.

Amazing video. Great brain food too. A lot of things I hadn't really thought about before. I spend so much time reading Torah and studying talmud I never really thought about the Hebrew aleph-beit itself. Great lesson.

Animals also have the spark of the Divine in them and share the same DNA. Never underestimate the holy beings who walk , fly, swim the earth. Doing this has cost humankind our higher selves. We ARE connected to all of nature, not meant to dominate, but protect. We are all Fathers and Mothers...

Animals suffer, love, mourn, learn, and are caught in the earthly transgressions that allow us to treat them horribly.
