Quantum physics tells us that an observer affects the observed. The mere act of measurement changes the outcome of an experiment. This discovery shook the foundations of materialist science — but for Kabbalists, it was old news. The Zohar teaches that human consciousness is not passive; it actively shapes reality. Every thought, every word, every intention sends ripples through the spiritual worlds.
The Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation), one of the oldest Kabbalistic texts, describes how G-d created the universe through the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the Ten Sefirot. Letters are not just symbols — they are creative forces. Similarly, modern information theory reveals that reality is fundamentally informational. The code of DNA, the mathematics of physics, the algorithms of AI — all point to a universe built on information. Kabbalah calls this information “Torah” — the Divine blueprint of existence.
As we develop artificial intelligence and explore quantum computing, we are, in Kabbalistic terms, approaching the “vessels” (kelim) that can hold increasingly refined light. The question is not whether technology can coexist with spirituality — they must. The mandate of Torah is “tikun olam” — to repair and elevate the world. Every new tool is an opportunity for holiness.
