Time Travel in the Torah

Are there cases of time travel in the Torah and ancient Jewish texts? Is it possible that Adam, Enoch, and Moses were able to traverse the universe using faster-than-light technology? And how do we deal with apparent chronological contradictions in the Torah?

Find out in this fascinating class, where we also uncover the true meaning of God's Ineffable Name, propose a theory for how Adam was able to live 930 years, and calculate the speed of God's divine "chariots".

The Emet of the Torah is beautiful! Thank you so much Rabbi Efraim for teaching us these wonderful insights of the Torah in such a refreshing way! Baruch HaShem!

I just re-watched this excellent class.

A few comments:

1) When Moshe Rabbenu attended R. Akiva's class, he was IN Eretz Yisrael. R. Akiva lived and taught in EY. So Moshe DID enter the land!

2) There is at least one episode in Bereshit of "kefitzat haderech, " or the pleating of the fabric of space in order to shorten the length of the journey:

When Avraham Avinu's servant Eliezer travels from Hevron to Padam-Aram (with 10 laden camels, no less!) to meet Rivka at the well. The journey should have taken weeks, but took only a few hours. And the same for the return journey, when Eliezer was accompanied by Rivka and her nurse Devorah. An example of space and time shortened proportionally to each other in Torah.

3) I think of this sometimes: In the "block of time, " Geulah is happening NOW. If only I /we could access this! When I say the Shema, I imagine seeing the Third Temple, praying my vision will manifest SOON.

Similarly, I wonder if, sometime after Geulah is in process, (HaShem Yirachem, SOON!), HaShem will heal all of us by removing our memories of exile? That way we would all be joyfully peaceful, without traumatic memories. A re-setting not of time, but of our experience of it.

Lots to think about, and may we experience Geulah SOON, if not right now!

Thanks again for your brilliant shiurim. Surely this is a sign of imminent Geulah ...

I am writing this on Hoshana Rabba. May HaShem seal us for a good year, a year of good health, revealed blessings, and more open miracles!

Chag sameach and Shabbat Shalom!

I cried at that scene in Interstellar - when he saw his daughter's entire life had passed while he was in time dilation. It made me realize how important our present time is.

I don’t know exactly what to write. It seems my mind has reached capacity when you teach a new idea that pushes me to know more. Very comforting yet a bit scary. Don’t stop…more please.

I thank God Almighty for discovering your teaching, I cannot stop listening to this post on YouTube.

In the Gospel of John it starts by saying "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". This seems like a similar idea that everything in the Torah was created the first day, but God speaks everything into existence by reading the Torah that is the "Word". This idea also seems to be present in the "Book of Melechizedek" whose fragments were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching the movie Cloud Atlas. It's a good drama that tells a story over thousands of years through the idea of reincarnation. It does a good job at illustrating this concept of time travel in relation to reincarnation.

“I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.” (Ecc 3:14, 15)

I was murdered in the last century. My soul left my dead body and I went to Heaven . My soul was sent back to earth and I was reborn. Our souls are eternal.

In the words of my teenagers, “ Bro! That was dope!” 🤯🤯 There’s multiple theories that I’ve come to on my own, and you have them compiled here!! How cool to have someone else share these thoughts. Where did you come from!? We have so many similar intellectual interests and understandings, thank you for making these videos. Todah.
