Using Your Head
But why go to the soil? Go to the top of your head. How is it that the soil becomes food and then the food becomes hair? What does the hair come from? Do you eat hair? How can it happen that long hairs come out of the skin of the scalp or a long beard comes out of the skin of your face? It has to come from someplace.
It’s a miracle! This (the Rav touched his beard) is food. It’s bread. It’s cheese, it’s chicken; whatever you ate turned into hair. It sounds like a fable, a fairytale, but it’s chemistry. You can’t deny it. And so as you’re holding your hand on your hair, realize for a moment that you’re touching a testimony of Hakadosh Baruch Hu. And you’re expected to utilize that to come to awareness of the One Who created it.
Hakadosh Baruch Hu, the great Designer, was able to put food into your mouth and change it into all the necessary elements that the body requires. The chicken you ate and the bread you ate became your ears and your lungs and your eyes and your skin. It becomes hair. And therefore, when we look around at each other, we see the yad Hashem. We see the ı≈ ̃ ֹלו ין≈‡∆ׁ ̆ הָמ¿כָח, a Wisdom that has no end.
