Before his passing, my holy father told me two things: 1) Fear nothing but G-d alone. 2) Love every single Jew, without exception, with all your heart and all your soul. – Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov Thoughts on the Parshah from Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar Shabbos Bereishis The realization of this purpose entails a two-way correlation: one in he single most important factor the direction from above downward to earth; the other, from the earth and Divine document that upward. In fulfllment of the frst, man draws holiness from the Divinely- Tidentifes the Jewish People, given Torah and commandments, to permeate therewith every phase of bestowing upon us the majestic role of his daily life and his environment – his “share” in this world; in fulfllment G-d’s Chosen People and giving us the of the second, man draws upon all the resources at his disposal, both mechanisms and directives to fulfll created and man-made, as vehicles for his personal ascendancy and, with our raison d’être, is the Torah.

The Torah which together with the highest most pristine/spiritual aspects.

That function and purpose to make the physical material world a vessel and abode for the pristine holiness of G-d, fulflls creation by including all Though the Torah relates many historical facts and human interest stories of G-d’s creations in the service of our Creator. that inform us concerning interesting events such as creation and the development of mankind, every part and detail therein is an important Have a great week and a good Shabbos. directive for our lives. The word Torah means instruction and teachings, and is referred to as “the Manual for Life”. It is within the story of creation/Genesis that Man’s pivotal role is articulated. Rabbi Sholom D. Lipskar Man, actually created on the sixth day, culminates the creative process bringing the entire universe to its completion and fulfllment. It is for this reason that on Rosh Hashonah we proclaim, “Today is the birth of the world”, though the creation of the world actually began six days before, on the 25th of Elul, with Man being created on Rosh Hashonah. Mr Danny Ayalon Different from every other species of creation, Man was brought into being through G-d’s action “and G-d formed man from the dust of the earth and blew into his nostrils the Breathe of Life” (Ch 2 v7), distinct from all other creatures that G-d made through His speech/words “and G-d said let there be.” In the process of making Mankind, G-d brought together two elements and forces from opposite spectrums. “Dust of the ground” and “the Breath of Life”. G-d took earth, the lowest element – a lifeless, inorganic substance that refects base corporeality - and then breathed a Soul into it. That breath represents the eternal essential life force of G-d Almighty Himself being shared as a soul/Neshamah with and infused into, Man.
