Rabbis turn the torah into an NFT

The Torah is on its way to becoming an NFT on Ethereum. This great book is divided into 54 parts which are known as Parashah is going to be converted into a collectible token.

Where the idea came from:

The creators of this NFT have made this decision because they see the Torah as if this is the original and oldest blockchain in the whole world. Starting from the definition of a blockchain, the rabbis cite that the Torah has been passed down uninterruptedly from generation to generation for some 3,000 years.

Tangibilizing immortality The features and properties of NFTs, built on blockchain, have the potential to cannibalize the religion of immortality. Just as in other faiths, in Judaism there is the religion of life after death, so immortality can make sense in blockchain as the function of being preserved and remaining in all time. Through the Torah, we connect our present generation and the past generation.

What is the purpose of this?

The plan for these collectible tokens is that they have the potential to be used as a gift, to honor an esteemed one, or to consummate, through their purchase, the commandment to cooperate with the writing of a Torah scroll.

Another reason why they were encouraged to tokenize the Parashas as NFTs is to raise funds to finance the construction of novel physical copies of the Torah, since in general the creation of a physical scroll of this book with kosher certification, indicates that it respects the ceremonial prescriptions of Judaism that should be carried out with certain particular properties, is very expensive, ranging from 30,000 to 100,000 dollars.

Up to now 6 quantities of the Torah already remain in the commercialization of OpenSea. The designer of these NFTs after finishing her conversion process to Judaism, in the early 2010s, elaborated some artworks with Judaic themes, as part of the D’rash Design Plan.

Conclusion:

The fact that something like this is happening is that already things like religion are going to be able to be immortalized in the crypto world since, in the very characteristics and properties of NFTs, built on blockchain, they can tangibilize the religion of immortality. Just as in other faiths, in Judaism there is the religion of life after death, so immortality can make sense in blockchain as the function of being preserved and remaining in all time. Another example of God and cryptocurrencies is one in which a message from the New Testament has been integrated into the 666,666 blocks of the Bitcoin blockchain.

Maybe with these examples, more religions will be encouraged to enter the crypto world.
