The riddles: «A tree of the knowledge of good and evil» and «a tree of life». What fruit has properties of being desirable, beautiful, substantial (material), and the fruit grows on the tree? What is a tree of life? The conditions: The fruit may be the cause of evil. After, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit, they wanted to put on leaves because they were ashamed. Also, people don't have hair like animals. The answer: This fruit is honey. Honey has properties of being desirable, beautiful, substantial (material), and honey is made on the tree by bees. But honey may be the cause of evil, if anyone would be stung by bees. After, when Adam and Eve were stung by bees, they wanted to put on leaves because they were ashamed, because Adam and Eve didn't have hair like animals. And only a hive is the tree where life is.

Elohim: plural and uncountable, but singular like water.
According to the Torah, the concept of God is that of a singular, absolute reality. The term Elohim (אֱלֹהִים) denotes a Supreme Force, grammatically plural and uncountable yet singular in essence, like the word "water — מַיִם." This force is defined as YHVH Elohim (יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים), the Sovereign Power over all celestial and terrestrial realms. The core principle is that no form was perceived at the revelation at Horeb, forbidding any image or representation of creation, including celestial bodies, to prevent idolatry...

One Flesh and Avon: The Weight of Sacred Union
The foundational principle is that an act of intercourse resulting in the loss of virginity establishes a sacred union, a state of being "one flesh." This bond is not a social contract but an ontological fusion, creating a singular entity before the divine. Consequently, any iniquity, or 'Avon,' associated with this act—such as fornication or idolatry—becomes a matter of shared culpability for both participants. They are jointly accountable to the divine tribunal for the transgression embedded within this union, forming a single locus of spiritual responsibility...

God’s Laws and Human Obedience: Divine Interaction Across Generations
Brit (ברית) - Covenant, Hok (חוק) - Statute, Mitzvah (מצוה) - Commandment, Torah (תורה) - Law, Ot (אות) - Sign, Hora'a (הוראה) - Instruction, Tachlit (תכלית) - Purpose. These can only exist through the partnership of God and man. What may appear as simple behavioral rules actually form the essence of divine-human interaction. They function as encouragement, prohibition, or distinguishing marks. Observance brings mercy while disobedience brings punishment. Some laws operate recessively - like brit milah on the eighth day as a covenantal sign...

Nails: Evolutionary Atavism or Modern Necessity?
This scientific-popular article examines the understudied yet increasingly relevant phenomenon of surgical nail removal in humans. Through biological, evolutionary, medical, psychological, and cultural analysis, the author investigates whether nails remain vital anatomical structures in modern life or have become vestigial remnants of our evolutionary past. The discussion encompasses tactile sensitivity, chronic pain, aesthetic standards, and personal autonomy in bodily identity. Parallels are drawn...

"The Lot: Sacred Mechanism of Divine Choice in the Present"
The lot. A sacred mechanism for discerning divine will, not predicting futures but revealing God's ordained choice for present action. Its ritual demands neither dice nor chance, but the solemn shaking of a copper vessel over an oil-anointed stone slab, where two marked stones - one light, one dark - find their providential rest. This is no mortal divination, but the trembling hand of priesthood mediating heaven's decree through the perfect imbalance of weighted silence, where the stilled stone speaks with more clarity than any prophet's tongue...

The True Meaning of 'Thou Shalt Not Kill' in the Torah.
The Ten Commandments establish the absolute prohibition "lo tirtzach" (לֹא תִּרְצָח), forbidding killing of a human. The story of Cain demonstrates this principle in action - before the first murder, the world knew no divine signs, but after the shedding of blood, Cain receives a double punishment: a curse from the earth ("arur mi-adama" - אָרוּר מִן־הָאֲדָמָה), denying him the fruits of his labor, and exile ("na va-nad" - נָע וָנָד), condemning him to eternal wandering. Thus emerges the true meaning...

Organics and Organic Compounds: The Most Valuable Resource in the Universe
This popular science article explores the unique significance of organic matter and organic compounds as a fundamental and perhaps the most valuable resource in the universe. It draws parallels between organic matter as the basis of life on Earth and its detection in various celestial bodies within and beyond the Solar System. The discussion covers chemical stability, structural diversity, and the potential role of organic compounds in the origin and evolution of life. Emphasis is placed on the universality of carbon chemistry as a key factor unifying biological and cosmochemical processes...

Seraphim and Bronze Serpent: Two Manifestations of One Image
In the Torah, the serpents called הַשְּׁרָפִים (seraphim) and the bronze (copper + tin) serpent, הַנָּחָשׁ (nachash), are not two different beings, but two manifestations of a single image, differing in action and purpose. The word הַשְּׁרָפִים (seraphim), derived from the root “saraf” — “to burn,” conveys the essence of their effect: a burning, deadly pain that strikes from within. These serpents did not simply bite — they burned, becoming bearers of God's punishment, sent in response to murmuring and disobedience...

The Power of Words: Creativity, Prayer, and Fire Reflecting the Divine Nature of Speech
God endowed man with a special gift — the ability to name things by their true names, for within this act lies creative power. Not merely a set of sounds, but lexically and etymologically precise words become tools for ordering the world. Our ancestors, naming phenomena, laid the foundations of language — first individual words, then sentences, acquiring the ability to construct logical and rhetorical connections as a manifestation and evolution of cognitive faculties. Thus, speech became a bridge between the human mind and the divine design...

Fire and Water in Biblical Traditions: Ancient Practices of Divine Purification
During the time of Moses and Eleazar, Elohim established rigorous purification protocols for objects acquired in warfare or contaminated by idolatrous practices. Precious and base metals - including gold, silver, and iron - underwent fiery purification. This process served dual purposes: the extreme heat (400-1100°C) not only eliminated physical impurities through oxidation and recasting but also neutralized any embedded curses or magical bindings by fundamentally restructuring the atomic lattice of the material itself...

Ark of the Covenant: Symbols, Mysteries, and Lost Images of Divine Glory
The Ark of the Covenant stood as the central symbol of Israelite worship, a golden-clad acacia chest housing the stone tablets of the Law. Its very construction mirrored divine order - precise measurements reflecting heavenly patterns, materials chosen for their incorruptibility. The thick blue woolen covering that concealed it during journeys served as a visual barrier, shielding the sacred from profane eyes while the inner covering of tachash skin (possibly dyed red) provided physical protection...

Sabbath Day Trial: Absolute Prohibition of Actions and Complete Submission to Divine Will
The Sabbath day serves as a divine test where individuals must abstain from all activity except for basic biological necessities such as eating, drinking, breathing, and sleeping. The prohibition extends universally to all actions, including those typically considered virtuous like saving lives or protecting property, as such deeds constitute a violation of God's commandment and thus represent a turning away from divine will. This strict observance underscores the principle that the Sabbath belongs...
