Jewish Mysticism Frames AI With Wisdom

On January 31, 2026, Gedaliah Gurfein published an essay arguing that Jewish mystical traditions (Torah, Zohar, Hasidut) frame intelligence as divine and purposive, contrasting with modern AI's data-driven, predictive systems. He highlights concepts like tzimtzum, tikkun, and Jacob’s ladder, notes a YouTube master class supported by SHARE, and urges cultivating discernment and responsibility alongside AI development.
