On the Purpose of the Torah

Hey Miki
I’ve long wanted to raise the main topic that appears here, but due to its sensitivity I postponed it. In the meantime, additional things accumulated and then I said to myself: Come on – let’s go all out…
I’ll start with the easy one – “Reason for the Party” – I found an article published in May 2015 by NASA regarding the silly debate about what causes aerodynamic lift, which supports my opinion.
And of course, I continue to try to develop the system for vertical takeoff and landing, and I realized some time ago that I need a fan that can suck in air and create a moderate negative pressure – about 0.5 atmospheres. I looked for such a fan on the market [off the shelf] and couldn’t find one. By chance, I came to a conference at the Technion where aircraft engines were being presented, and I found an engineer from “Beit Shemesh Engines” who confirmed that it is indeed possible to produce an axial blower [like a simple fan] that creates a negative pressure as I want, but its structure is very complex.
Later it occurred to me that perhaps this complexity stems from the need to provide a large mass of air to the aircraft engine, while I don’t need a large mass of air, but a small one.
That’s why I decided to consult the “gurus” of the CR4 engineering website.
I told them that I had an innovative idea supported by two professors from the Technion, and to test its feasibility, I needed a fan that could create a moderate negative pressure. And I didn’t need a large air flow.
I asked for their opinion: Would designing and manufacturing a fan that wouldn’t have to supply a lot of air be simpler than a fan at the same pressure for high air flow rates?
And within half an hour I started receiving a sea of ​​responses, not one of which answered my question, but I was flooded with suggestions for using various fans, including bicycle pumps…
My attempts to explain to them what my question was were ignored, partly because I ignored the question of what airflow I needed.
The dialogue [me – versus several commenters] took on an increasingly vulgar character!
Until someone called me a senile old man, stubborn, ignorant, etc., I was not at all moved and resorted to my favorite method, “A soft answer will bring back anger.” But this matter made me wonder why educated people don’t try to understand a short text.
But – I also remember that I sent a number of my own musings to some scholars [even before I met you] and they responded not to the topic I raised, but to what they concluded I had written based on their knowledge of me and my background. It was only after I marked up my words as they originally appeared and sent them back to them that they realized that oops – they had a blunder…
The day before yesterday I met with my friend Prof. T.L., who is the first person I consult with on technological matters, and he is the one who supports me as much as possible, but flow is not his field.
He suggested that I seek help from Dr. K., who is knowledgeable about these issues. [He is retired and has a lot of free time in addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience!]
And indeed, I called K. directly from T.L.’s office, and we agreed that I would send him an email in which I would present my ideas.
Now you’ll “die of laughter” [send me a selfie of how you laugh…]:
When I got home, I told my son Y. about T.L.’s proposal, and Y. immediately informed me that the “angels” were opposed to my helping K. [before I even mentioned his name!] and said that the angels had a young and energetic person who wanted to get in touch with me and leverage my ideas, he would come to me!
And he repeated that I should avoid contact with K.!
In short – I’m now biting my nails and waiting for that young and energetic person!
How long I have to wait I don’t know, but I will give it the chance and the honor, and in the meantime I will take a little walk to see the blossoms before the swords of drought come [apparently].
And now for the “really” heavy things, the ones that really weigh on me: If I had those things in my hands, I wouldn’t be involved in aviation but would focus on issues of the essence of Judaism according to my worldview.
But I have no one to talk to, I deluded myself that Jesus would come from the “transparent domes”, but they are focused on being Orthodox lite…
Progressive Judaism [the clowns according to your definition] are exactly like me, except that they apparently want to preserve what exists, they apparently avoid being too prominent.
And now I come to the point: I have a considerable amount of anger towards Orthodox [rabbinical] Judaism.
On the one hand, I am full of appreciation for the work of the sages, and very proud of their progressive human and social thinking.
On the other hand, it is clear to me that they acted wisely when they announced that they were the successors of Moses our Lord.
In practice, there was no other responsible way!
On the other hand, this path stuck Judaism in the alley of maintaining the framework at all costs.
And this is probably why Orthodox Judaism focuses on “do for us,” while Reform Judaism sees a need to emphasize our commitment to action.
Ostensibly [as you stated a few months ago in your response to me] we can rely on the backing of the Torah to commit genocide.
But it is clear to most Jews that this is not the path of the Torah, and the explicit statement [as I would like to see!] that the essence of Judaism is the preservation of creation is still missing.
It is true that there is no explicit statement on this matter in the Torah, but I think and believe that this is a significant part of our commitment to study the Torah in depth, to reflect on it, and instead of mobilizing the famous Jewish logic for matters of kashrut and the like, to mobilize it to prove [something that Anad can easily do!] that the supreme mission of the Jewish people is to bring peace to the world.
I hope my stories and insights were presented with sufficient clarity.
All that remains for me is to wish you and all your family a happy Shabbat Shalom and all the best.
