Available Languages: Spanish | Portuguese      The menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum described in the Torah (Exodus 25:31-40), is one of the deepest symbols in Judaism. It represents the divine light that illuminates the world, evoking the creation in seven days, cosmic balance, and the emanation of God’s presence. But what if this sacred structure could be reinterpreted through musical and numerical lenses? Inspired by personal and poetic reflections, I explore a creative analogy between the menorah, the musical solfège system (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do), and elements of Hebrew gematria. These ideas, though not part of classical Kabbalistic tradition, offer a perspective that unites light, sound, letters, and numbers in an infinite cycle of divine harmony.      The menorah has a central candle that symbolizes unity and the divine presence, with three candles on each side radiating light into the manifest world. This configuration evokes the letter Gi...

About Torah and number PI, answering Dr. Tyson from his youtube explanation:  https://youtu.be/JxV92NPNy8o?t=2542 [1] You need go deep on gematria to find the real number they had on Solomon's age . Since those times, they hid knowledge.  Torah hides many secrets on its gematria system:   The Torah is absolute and immutable, and there are many examples of how the Torah reflects a deeper scientific wisdom.

(1-Kings 7:23, 2-Chronicles 4:2) The verse describes King Solomon's pool as a circular structure with a circumference of 30 cubits and a diameter of 10 cubits. Thus: 30 divided by 10 equals 3. This value is considered a very primitive approximation of Pi. Historians have generally attributed the first close approximation of Pi to the Egyptians, in their construction of the Great P...

É sempre interessante perceber, que cada palavra tem sua origem e seus significados, nunca aportando profanidades e sempre abarcando elevação espiritual. Não poderia ser diferente com a palavra "acordado". Sua etimologia possui a mesma derivação linguística da palavra "tolo" ou "louco" no Arábico [خبل], soletrado [kabal, k-b-l], contudo, um "tolo" mais conectado com os entendimentos da palavra "lunático", no sentido de estar desconectado das coisas terrenas. Agora mesmo "recordo", - palavra que remete ao entendimento da "corda" ou aquele que tem seus pensamentos atados um a um e vai puxando desta corda até encontrar aquele pensamento perdido no tempo e na mente - que é comum o personagem "O Louco", aquele das cartas de tarot, ser retratado como um lunático, muitas vezes carregando uma vara (a serpente), tendo nela "atada" uma matula, como aquele que viaja pelo mundo levando sua vida, sua história ...
