The new edition of our magazine ( Questions section Rav Moshe Bendahan):
Dear Rav, Do not you think that the Torah should be updated and adapted to the present and the difficulties and facilities today offer?
Dear Friend, Before answering
the question would have to clarify some concepts.
Gd is omnipresent and omniscient, that is, knowing all things, nothing exists outside Him On the other hand, we know that creating the world Gd was based on the Torah, which means that it represents what the plans of a building for an architect: there is nothing relevant in the building that are not reflected at the .
On the other hand, humans are creating more sophisticated than exists on earth, the most complex computer, to this day, remains a child's play compared with the functioning of an organ in the human.
If God created human beings and endows it with many capabilities and potential so clearly complex has a meaning and a mission to accomplish. If the simplest of objects we buy comes with instructions for use, we must take for granted that human beings could not reach the free world to tell us what the purpose of our existence.
Answering the question: if we understand that the Torah reflects God's will, and we have clarified that God is outside time, there can be nothing in the world comes not reflected in the Torah. In the unlikely event that there is something that God was unaware, then it would contradict our definition of Gd would not be as knowledgeable of all things.
The Torah are the blueprint of the world, everything is explained in it. We have to learn to decipher. A human being spoken of in the Torah is the same today, the instincts, desires and ambitions, which are the engines basic human have not changed. We are the ones we have to study and solve the problems that plague us. It is fascinating to see how they appear scientific descriptions in treaties with more than 2,000 years: the creation of a magnetic field, the exact value of number pi, the position of the fetus in the womb, the concept of contagious infection and a carrier disease that shows no signs of it, etc.
The Torah requires no upgrade but rather to learn to decode it in contemporary terms. Many of the problems that plague modern society would be solved.
