Thank you for your beautiful comment Marcos! It often feels like I’m writing into “outer space” of sorts. So glad the article strengthened you!
It is absolutely true that AI and technology could not exist if Hashem did not permit it to.
I’ve said in other articles that this is absolutely by design – Rabbi Arush says that the tests of this generation are SO hard because, according to the difficulty is the reward. The souls in this generation need a final rectification before the Final Redemption. The reward we need is gigantic – hence, the difficulty level is being maxed out.
This is why every tiny step towards holiness, which wouldn’t have even measured on the Richter scale in previous generations, matters so much and is rewarded richly in this generation! Every tiny bit matters!

Shalom, Sister Rachel. Your teaching and insight regarding the *Kedushah* (Holiness) of Hashem have reached the eyes of this humble person here in Brazil—someone eager for Torah knowledge. I read every line of this written lesson with great *Kavanah* (intention/devotion), and I share these same sentiments. In my home, we sing the holy songs of Eitan Katz, and your words brought the lyrics of the song “Chamol” to my heart. Honestly, the feeling is indescribable when contemplating the Holiness of a *Gadol* (Great) God—One who sanctifies me in the measure that I sanctify myself for Him, the Holy One, Blessed be He.
Technology and its pitfalls do indeed carry *tumah* (impurity) within them. Yet, there is a parable about a King who hires a prostitute to tempt his *Tzadik* (righteous) son and see if he would falter; she fails to draw the son away from his state of holiness. This raises a question: will the King kill the prostitute or pay her for the service? Reading this parable in the Zohar, I learned that Hashem places the “prostitute” in our path as a test. It is up to us to master our inclination toward evil—even when that evil is served up on a silver platter, just as it was to the Prophet Daniel.
May Hashem richly bless your work, for it is not in vain. I dwell among thorns, but these beams of light emanating from Israel give me strength in a land devastated by *tumah* and distance from the true God.
