Dedicated by David and Ofra Taback לעל"נ ר' סנדר ב"ר אברהםwho made it a point to always be a positive contributor in every part of his life and had a good word for anyone he met. Also for the 34th Yahrzeit of my father מו"ר ר' אברהם חיים ב"ר דוב ז"ל.
The Torah empowers us to use human logic to extrapolate and apply its laws in life, but just as all the laws of nature have their limits, so do the laws of logic have limits.
Our thoughts might not change the substance of matter, but they do indelibly impact the relationship between ourselves and that matter.

Life exists when the material body, guf, and the spirit, nefesh, are linked and sutain one another. Human life, adam, like earth, adamah, is designed to produce.
