There are people who say, 'I'm not religious and such, so I don't care about the Torah.'
Is our Torah meant to be implemented by “religious” or “believing” people?
The answer is no! Our Torah is a sacred text that contains within it the laws of nature!
A person who wants to achieve positive results in life, meaning to live a good life in relationships, career, raising children, etc., wants to act in flow with the laws of nature, which are inherent, meaning fixed.
It turns out that the Holy Torah teaches us how to live according to the laws of nature in order to receive positive results in life.
For example, it is written: 'Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you' which actually shows the correct hierarchy between a man and his wife – he has the final word, he is in first place (because he listened to you and violated God's command not to eat from the forbidden tree fruit, from now on you will listen to him and cannot tell him what to do, he will have the final word). And any attempt to go against this law of nature will certainly create suffering for both parties – especially for the woman.
And Eve was born from Adam through surgery, similar to a woman giving birth to a baby through a cesarean section, and about this it is written in the Gemara, 'Rabbi Yochanan said: Whoever marries a woman for the sake of Heaven, the scripture considers it as if he gave birth to her' (Sotah 12a) meaning that the correct dynamic between a man and his wife is a dynamic similar to that which exists between a father and his daughter (which is really good because this dynamic is a very pure dynamic where all his desires are directed for her benefit and he will never abuse his power over his beloved daughter but he always wants to give to her, elevate her, make her happy, etc.).
That's it regarding a man and his wife. (Those who want to understand this dynamic more deeply according to esoteric teachings, including Kabbalah and astrology, can see in my book here: https://bit.ly/shsbbook).
The Torah also tells us which foods to avoid because whoever eats them will cause themselves a blockage/sealing of the soul and lower their frequency, meaning they close off their ability for clear thinking and the ability to learn complex and high things, as we learned from our sages: 'The school of Rabbi Ishmael taught: Sin dulls a person's heart, as it is said: "Neither shall you make yourselves unclean with them, that you should be defiled thereby" [Lev. 11:43], don't read it as "ve-nitmetem" (and you will be defiled) but as "ve-nitamtem" (and you will become dulled)' (Yoma 39a) and Rashi explains: 'Dulls, blocks and seals off from all wisdom'.
This verse 've-nitmetem' is written in the Torah in Leviticus 11 where the Holy One, Blessed be He, explained to us which foods are kosher for eating and which are not. The reason they said in Rabbi Ishmael's school that it dulls is because the aleph is missing there, it should have been written 've-nitmetem'.
And so it is written in Leviticus 11: “1 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them: 2 Speak to the Israelite people thus: These are the creatures that you may eat from among all the land animals:”
And there, in fact, it continues to explain which animals are kosher for eating and which animals are not kosher for eating. And all this is exactly supernatural that only the Creator of the world can know.
For example, the Creator explains to us that no matter where a person is in the world, no matter what period of the world from its beginning to its end, no matter how deep he is in the sea, there are certain signs on all the creatures living in the water – which fish can be eaten and which fish are unclean, meaning that eating them produces a sealing of the vessel as mentioned above in Rashi's interpretation, like the state of a blind in a window that reduces the amount of light that enters.
And so it is written: 9 These you may eat of all that are in the waters: everything in the waters, in the seas, and in the streams, that has fins and scales—these you may eat. 10 But anything in the seas or in the streams that has no fins and scales, among all the swarming things and among all the other living creatures in the water—they are an abomination for you 11 and an abomination for you they shall remain: you shall not eat of their flesh and you shall abominate their carcasses. 12 Everything in water that has no fins and scales shall be an abomination for you.
The Holy One, Blessed be He, the great programmer, says – any creature you find anywhere in the world at any time from the beginning of the world until the end, if it doesn't have fins and scales, don't eat it!
And in the Oral Torah, they taught us a tradition received by Moses at Sinai that goes like this:
“All that have scales have fins, but there are those that have fins and do not have scales” (Mishna Niddah 6:10) meaning a tradition from Moses at Sinai that anywhere in the world where you find a fish with scales, you will find that it has fins, and the opposite is not necessarily true – if you found that it has fins, you won't necessarily find that it also has scales.
It's a wonder how our sages of blessed memory knew this thousands of years ago when new fish are discovered in new depths of the sea every day, etc., and to this day not even one fish has been found that breaks this rule written in the Mishna.
And this demonstrates to you that the Torah is a sacred text given to us by the great programmer and it is intended for us alone so that we live well here and not like fools and ignoramuses.
Another example:
To keep the Sabbath day as it is written: '7 Remember the sabbath day and keep it holy. 8 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 9 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, or your cattle, or the stranger who is within your settlements. 10 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.' (Exodus 20)
And it is known that the Sabbath day is ruled by the planet Saturn and it is considered not a good day to create in it and do business in it and do material things in it, therefore whoever violates the laws of the Sabbath day really does not see a sign of blessing but on the contrary sees, God forbid, a curse from this thing as I know very well from many many Sabbaths that I went out when I was a child and once I opened my head, once I had an accident, etc. – and good things that happened from this that are lasting apparently did not happen.
Another thing they found in research is that someone who rests once a week, during the other 6 days is much more productive than if they had worked all week without a break.
And therefore also from a business perspective it is better in the long run than if the person had worked on the Sabbath as well!
Thus we learn that in fact the Torah was not given to “believing” and “religious” people but to people who want to grow, develop and go in a good way according to the laws of nature and not against them and implement the purpose for which we came to this world (equalization of form/adherence to the Creator of the world, to walk in His ways) and it's not for nothing that we see that the greatest wise men of all times, speakers of truth and righteousness and upright in their hearts are our sages of blessed memory who walked in the way of the Holy Torah precisely and all kinds of scum in this world do exactly the opposite of the Holy Torah intentionally.
