Now you know ! you Gd’s Craftsmanship Once Rav Yeruham, the mashgiach of the famed Mir Yeshiva was in the middle of teaching five hundred boys. He suddenly asked one of the boys to go into his office and bring him a book called Ma’aseh Elokenu, which literally means the workmanship of Gd. The boy goes into the office but doesn’t see any books on the desk. Sheepishly, he returns and tells the rabbi that the book is not there. The rabbi insists and tells him to look again, as it is the only thing on the desk. The boy goes back and notices an orange on the desk. He takes it and goes back to the rabbi, apologizing, “Forgive me; I’m not trying to make fun, but the only thing on the desk was this orange.” The rabbi says, “Yes! Wonderful. That’s what I wanted. This is the book Ma’aseh Elokenu! But it’s an orange?!! You see an orange. I see the craftsmanship of Gd.” He then proceeded to give an entire shiur on the genius of an orange. He showed them the color of the peel and demonstrated that this is proof against the theory of evolution. The evolutionists hold that our world evolved randomly from some organic plasma. Of course, Gd forbid, don’t ask a Gdless evolutionist where that original material came from. They get hot under the collar when you ask that. They know that once you go there, you get to Gd. So, they always begin their argument assuming there was this original material. Of course, I think it’s a legitimate question. If I see a container of milk on the counter, it’s a fair question to ask how it got here. But for them, it’s taboo. They say, “It’s just there. Let’s start from that…” Even if we entertain their folly that the orange trees just evolved by themselves, let’s say in Florida, and humans were busy evolving, independently, in Brooklyn, there’s a major problem with their story. How did the orange tree know that if it becomes that shade of orange, that the human eye would be able to detect it? How did it know that such a taste would be edible and sweet to human taste buds? How did it just happen that the citrus scent could be smelled by a human nose? The same is true about all fruit. If there was no Guiding Hand from above, how did the banana know to change the color of its peel to indicate that it is ripe? Who told it that a human gets a stomachache when eating a banana that is still green? These are serious challenges to evolutionists. We, of course have no problem with this. We know that there is one overall Manager who synchronized creation to make all of its various components compatible with each other. Rav Yeruham continued and cut open the orange and showed them. “Look, the liquid does not fall out!” It’s ingenious packaging. Could you invent something that holds six ounces of liquid juice that is only emitted when bitten into? And he continued to extol the Divine genius of an orange. לעילוי נשמתם של משה בן עליזה, יצחק הלל בן עליזה, והנרייט לאה בת עליזה, דוד בן גילה, רבקה בת גילה, יהושע בן גילה, משה בן גילה, שרה בת גילה, יעקב בן גילה, ואליאנה בת גילה. ולרפואה שלמה ליוסף בן אהובה מסעודה, שילת אהובה בת עליזה, ודניאל בן עליזה.
