Zohar Bronfman spends most of his time in Tel Aviv, Israel these days. He has a focused academic background, specifically in philosophy and neuroscience. He was always intrigued by the question - how do we know what we know? - which led him to get a PhD in Philosophy. While doing that, he also became fascinated with he human mind and empirical decision making, which took him down the road of obtaining another PhD in AI & Neuroscience, essentially emulating brain processes. Outside of tech, he has 3 kids and a startup. He loves a good book in the philosophy or neuroscience space, and is a big fan of sports. Specifically, he loves the NBA and claims to be a Knicks fan.Zohar and his now co-founder were digging into predictive models, as an extension of their academic studies. They were curious as to why companies, though they were running predictive models, were not making accurate predictions. They soon realized that this was because the AI modeling expertise was centralized at couple of well known companies.This is the creation story of Pecan AI.SponsorsVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

The Three Gifts from Heaven I'd like to share a beautiful Midrash from Parashat Masei (22:7), which discusses three gifts created in the world: wisdom, strength, and wealth. The teaching is that whoever attains just one of them has acquired the most precious treasures of the entire world. If one has attained wisdom, he has attained everything. If he has attained strength, he has attained everything. If he has attained wealth, he has attained everything. But there's a vital condition. When is this true? When these gifts are truly gifts from Heaven and are accompanied by the strength of the Torah. However, the strength and wealth derived solely from a mere mortal being are essentially worthless. This aligns with what Yirmiyahu meant in chapter 9, verses 22–23. Thus says Hashem: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor the strong man glory in his strength, let not the rich man glory in his riches. But only in this may one glory: in knowing Me, that I am the Lord..." This presents a deeper understanding of the verse. Simply put, we often interpret this as: "Disregard pride; don't glorify yourself with these three qualities; only knowing God matters." That's not quite right. The message is that you can be praiseworthy for these qualities, but only if they come with the knowledge of God. This is similar to what we say in Eishet Chayil : "False is grace and vain is beauty; a God-fearing woman, she shall be praised." The simple reading suggests ignoring grace and beauty, focusing only on being God-fearing. However, commentators explain that the God-fearing woman is praised for her grace and beauty— because she possesses the proper connection to the Divine. The Danger of Snatching Divine Gifts The Midrash continues by demonstrating that the aforementioned qualities, when misused, can actually lead to a person's downfall. When these gifts do not originate from Hashem, they will eventually cease to be in the owner's possession. The Midrash then shares examples of two wise men, one Jewish and one from the nations: Achitophel and Bileam. Both were exceptionally wise, and both were ultimately eradicated. Two strong men: the Jew Shimshon and the Gentile Goliath. Both were eradicated. Two wealthy individuals: the Jew Korach and the Gentile Haman. Both were eradicated. Why were they eradicated? Because their gifts were not truly from Hashem; rather, they snatched them for themselves. Doesn't God give everything to everyone? The Sefat Emet in his commentary on Parshat Masei (from the years 5631 and 5634) explains: A person upon whom Hashem showers riches must remain humble, always remembering that the wealth doesn't come through his own efforts but is entirely a gift from above. As long as the recipient recognizes Hashem as the source of his good fortune, the gift remains connected to its sacred source and stays in his possession. However, should the recipient forget the source and imagine that he himself created his wealth, the link to the Giver is severed. He has effectively snatched the fortune for himself, it can no longer be described as being from Hashem , and it will inevitably leave him. Maintaining Our Gifts as Gifts from Hashem We learned from the previous Midrash a crucial concept: our gifts from Hashem must remain gifts from Hashem , not things we've snatched away and claimed as solely our own. So, how do we accomplish this? How do we ensure we recognize our blessings as gifts? The commentaries quote the Zohar (Volume 2, page 62a), which discusses the Manna ( Man ). It notes that people of faith ask every single day for their mezonot (food) and parnassah (sustenance) from the Kadosh Baruch Hu , and they pray for it. Such a person is called a Ben Ne'eman (a loyal son). The Zohar then quotes Rebbi Yisa the Elder , who famously would not prepare his food until he first asked Hashem for his parnassah . He would say, "I will not prepare my meal until it has been given to me from the House of the King ." Only after asking would he pause and then say, "Now I have enough time to get the food from the King's house, and now we can start preparing the meal." He stated that this is the way of those who fear God . This is quite profound. He already physically has the food. What is he doing? He is actively connecting what he possesses to its Divine Source , choosing to receive it as a gift even though he knows, technically, he already possesses it. The Daily Prayer for Sustenance This concept is the source for the prayer many people recite in Shema Kolenu , asking for their parnassah and food every single day. The words are: "May it be Your will, Hashem , my God and the God of my forefathers, to prepare sustenance ( parnassah ) and food ( mezonot ) for me and for all the members of my household today and every day—freely, not with limits, in honor but not in disgrace, in contentment, not in pain. May I not be in need of people or their loans, but only from Your hand that is generous, open, and full." We already have the food, so why do we ask for it again? This highlights the central concept of working on our Bitachon daily: Every single day, I need to know that what I have is a gift of God given to me today . When I wake up, my house is a new house I received today; my children are new children; my body is a new body. Nothing I possess—not my wisdom, not my wealth, not my strength—is mine from yesterday. It is all what I receive from God today . This brings us back to the prophet Yirmiyahu : "For only this may one glory: knowing Me ." If you want to be glorified, let it come from your knowledge of God , understanding that He gives you everything anew each day.

The Mysteries of the Shekinah - The Feminine Spirit in Kabbalah In this episode, we explore the mysteries of the Shekinah — the radiant divine presence often described as the feminine aspect of God within Jewish mysticism. We'll look at how this sacred concept has evolved through the Kabbalistic tradition, its links to the Divine Feminine across different esoteric systems, and how the Shekinah's descent and return mirror the human journey of spiritual exile and reunion with the Source. Join us as we uncover the symbolism, history, and magical interpretations of the Shekinah — from the ancient Hebrew texts and the Zohar, to her influence in Western occultism and modern mystical thought.

In this episode of the Prayer Podcast, Rabbi Wolbe discusses Rabbi Yishmael's 13 Principles, the final part of the korbanot section in morning prayers, found in the Sifra's introduction. These principles, a B'raisa (external Talmudic teaching), fulfill the daily Talmud study obligation and connect to Hashem's name and 13 attributes of mercy. They provide a framework for deriving Torah laws without altering them, addressing modern issues like Shabbat elevator use. Key themes include:Purpose in Prayer: Reciting the principles fulfills Talmud study, complementing Torah and Mishnah, and transforms us by engaging with Hashem's name (Zohar), paralleling the 13 attributes of mercy (1:07–5:01).Significance of 13: The number 13 is central (e.g., 13 rivers in Eden, 13 “baruch” in prayers, “echad” and “ahava” equaling 13), symbolizing divine unity and love, aligning with the principles' role in Torah interpretation (5:01–6:59).Torah's Immutability: Rabbis cannot create laws; the principles apply Torah to new contexts (e.g., electricity) without change, preserving divine prescription (6:59–8:33).Personalizing Torah: Study makes Torah “mine,” as per Rebbe Nachman and the Talmud's “in your hand” question, enabling a Gan Eden-like life now (8:33–12:18).Key Principles Explained:Kal vachomer: Logical inference from less to more stringent cases (e.g., Miriam's seven-day exile, Numbers 12:14) (14:23–17:05).Gezerah shavah: Rule application via identical wording, requiring tradition (e.g., “b'mo'ado” for Pesach and Tamid on Shabbat) (18:19–20:52).Binyan av: Extending rules to similar cases (e.g., food preparation on all festivals, two-witness requirement) (20:52–23:51).Call to Action: Read the weekly parsha (Bereshit, Noach) to enrich life, as Torah is a guide for personal growth (23:51–24:12).The episode concludes with anticipation for the next topic, Kaddish, and a blessing for a great week._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Dr. Leonard & June GoldbergDownload the Prayer Podcast Worksheets:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iBVevW1ydyjSeyeO0iCcina7e8vix3Lt?usp=sharingThis episode (Ep. #39) of the Prayer Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH is dedicated to my dearest friends, Dr. Leonard & June Goldberg!

From the international success of “Fauda” to Academy Award nominations and prestigious festival awards, the Israeli film and television industry was at a high point before the October 7 attacks. Throughout the two-year Gaza war, the industry has struggled as international funding and festival invitations dried up, and Hollywood A-listers circulated petitions to boycott any association with the Israeli industry. Domestically, Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has been hostile, especially when infuriated by films they view as too sympathetic to the Palestinian cause. Assaf Amir, chairman of the Israeli Academy of Film and Television, joins host Allison Kaplan Sommer to talk about the threat by Culture Minister Miki Zohar’s extreme reaction to the fact that the film winning this year’s Academy for Israel’s Best Picture was “The Sea” – about a Palestinian boy’s journey from the West Bank to Tel Aviv – which is now poised for submission in the Best Foreign Language film category at the Oscars. As a result, Zohar said he will defund the Academy prize and set up an alternative government award ceremony to choose a different Best Picture. Amir said on the podcast that he was unimpressed by the threat. “We'll see who submits their films to his prize and who he chooses to decide which of the films should win,” Amir said. As for the Hollywood boycotts, Amir said he would point to Israel’s Best Picture this year and ask the professionals signing the petitions where they stand on it. “Will they watch this Arabic-language film that was made by an Israeli and a Palestinian about a Palestinian boy from the West Bank trying to go to Tel Aviv – or would they boycott it? I think that's the question they should ask themselves, and I'm wondering what the answer is – because I would definitely urge them to watch this film.” Read more: Israel's Best Film Award Goes to 'The Sea,' Chosen to Represent Country at the Oscars Government Says It Will Cut Israel Film Academy Funding After Film 'Depicting Israel Negatively' Wins 'If We Stop Deteriorating': Head of Israel's Film Academy Still Sees a Bright Future, Despite Political Pressures 1,300 International Actors and Filmmakers Pledge to Avoid Israeli Film Institutions 'Implicated in Gaza Genocide' Debra Messing, Liev Schreiber Among 1,200 Hollywood Figures Opposing Israeli Film Boycott Opinion | As an Israeli Filmmaker, Thank You to Everyone Who Is Boycotting My WorksSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
