The Parsha this week is Parashas Noach and seeing as it is also Rosh Chodesh , the Maftir is in Bamidbar Numbers 28 : 9 - 15 and the Haftorah is in Yeshayahu Isaiah 66 : 1 - 24 . The Parsha begins by stating the offspring of Noach , mentioning Shem then Cham and Yafes . Though Yafes is the oldest , Shem is mentioned first , as he was the holiest of the three sons . Cham was punished to serve the other brothers . The Parsha starts out by mentioning that Noach was an " Ish Tzaddik Tamim Hayah Bedorosaiv " - " A Righteous man , perfect in his generations " and our Rabbis give different interpretations to this . On the one hand , Noach is looked upon as standing out in that very bad generation , as the one who was righteous and perfect , unlike those around him and in this interpretation , he is looked upon with great holiness and courage , standing against a whole world and still remaining holy , unlike those around him who had walked away and strayed From HaShem , going to violence and thieving , but not Noach , who remained apart from them and stood against the wave of negativity of his time and so was he , as a single family , left to be the ones remaining from all those others who perished in the Mabul Flood . The other Rabbinical opinion , is one of him being 'righteous only within his own generation , ' for this opinion makes out that had he lived at the time of Avraham , he would not have appeared so righteous in comparison . Where HaShem Says To Avraham , " Walk before me and be perfect , " here in this Sedra , HaShem Mentions That Noach walked With G-D . This alone can have various interpretations that go along with both Rabbinical opinions . On the one hand , HaShem Asks Avraham to Walk before Him , for Avraham is very holy And HaShem Gives the holy ones great kavod , where Noach has to only walk side by side With HaShem . For the other opinion , Avraham could have been asked to walk before HaShem as a sign of love to Avraham , where Noach could walk alongside HaShem as a friend . But what ever opinion one chooses , one should never judge one generation with another , for each generation brings its own tests and levels to climb . Thus one should not compare one man to another in holiness , for what Noach did , to stand against an entire World against him , is truly An Act Of Love For HaShem and certainly deserving of Walking Alongside HaShem In Loving Friendship And Togetherness and certainly Faithfulness and Trust In HaShem . Could any of us be like Noach and stand against an entire World . Doubtful . What Courage And Holy Moral Love Of HaShem , Noach Certainly Showed and that Noach must have had . Yesher Koach To Holy Noach . May we all have such courage and Love Of HaShem , To Stand With HaShem , even against those around us who do not and may we all have such courage to Keep HaShem's Commandments And Mitzvot , even when those around us may not keep Them . Be Strong and Take Courage Always And Put HaShem And HaShem's Wishes Before our own and before the wishes of those around us . HaShem Always Must Come First . Torah Informs us that the Earth had become corrupted for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the Earth . Corrupted , for people had become very Violent And Thieving - Chamas ( in Hebrew ) , sadly similar to how people behave today actually . In Noach's time , people would rob each other of even the minutest things , just to show to be within the law of what constitutes limits to robbery . As an example , if there was a legal limit to what constitutes theft at the time in how far one could move one's boundary wall and encroach upon another person's boundary , they would move their own boundary just enough to be under that legal limit that would make it illegal and so would use the Law to cheat another . The ones who judged also became corrupt and when robbing goes so far as to rob ' illegally ' in an apparent legal yet illegal way and those in charge go along with it ( like what happened in Sodom and Amorah ( Gomorah ) , this is a break up of the very moral fibre of civilization and society . Such a generation thus does not deserve to continue , for it only gets worse . HaShem Mentions how all flesh had corrupted itself . This refers to how immoral acts between humans and animals took place and between two different species , For HaShem Had Warned That each is to stay with its own kind . This generation of the Mabul had reached a point of no return and only Holy Noach and his Holy wife Naamah ( descendant of Kayin ) and their three sons and their son's wives were worthy to be in the Ark . HaShem Appeared To Noach And Told him To build a Teivah - An Ark with three levels and a window which some believe was a precious stone And That HaShem Would Destroy all that are outside of the Ark . The same word Teivah , appears in reference to the Teivah - Basket , made to save Moshe as a baby in Miztrayim Egypt , when it was put upon the Nile , showing a spiritual link between Moshe and Noach . Both holy men . HaShem Saw To it That the non Kosher Animals would come to Noach on the Ark two pairs each and the Kosher Animals that were seven pairs each , Noach would need to bring himself . The building of the Ark took 120 years , a long time , so that people might question Noach about it and he might try to bring the people around to Holiness , telling them of the deluge to come and that they Must Return To HaShem . Interesting again , how Moshe lived till 120 . Noach did not make as much effort as he might have , in trying to change his generation , not that he did not try with a few people , but not like Avraham , who made it his life's work to bring people To HaShem . This could be one of the reasons That HaShem Said To Noach " Asei Lecha Teivat " - " Make for yourself an Ark , " For HaShem May Have Been Trying To Hint That Noach needed to be more open to others and not just his own family , in saving their Neshomas . We see That HaShem Said Similar Words To Avraham in the next Parsha Lech Lecha , " Go for yourself , " for Avraham , who did differently , spent his life doing For HaShem and not just for his own family , constantly bringing people To HaShem . Moshe Was Also Asked To make a Tabernacle That HaShem Can Let His Shechinah Dwell in . This Is The Way Of HaShem and this is how we are to be , totally giving beyond our own surroundings , to go out into the World and make it a World Where HaShem Can Dwell Among us . HaShem Had Before this , Sent Warning floods and other disasters To Wake the people up , but like what happens in our present time , people ignored it and still do . Even when the time of the Mabul came , Noach was not totally sure That HaShem Would Go Through with it . We note that a seven day delay is mentioned and this refers to the time that Noach was sitting Shiva for Metushelach , who had just passed away . HaShem Himself Had To Shut Noach and the family Into the Ark , for Noach still hoped it would pass but it did not and after many arduous years of work , for which the animals too helped carry while lions sat guard over Noach and his family , the Mabul began . Forty Days and Forty Nights was the rain upon the Earth . HaShem Brought flood waters of heat from below from Gehinnom and masses of water from Above . All died , except Og ( the giant , descendent of the Nephilim fallen angel mixing with the daughters of men - where Og was finally killed in Moshe's time ) , for whom Noach had made a platform for him outside of the Ark with a cover and Noach fed him too . This was the Og who later tried to get Sarah for himself , by trying to entice Avraham into war , when he came to Avraham , who at the time was baking cakes , it being the time of the future Pesach and Avraham was baking Matzoh Cakes and so was the giant called Og , as the word ' Cake ' in Hebrew is ' Uga ' and Og tried to get Avraham to go to battle to save his nephew Lot , who had just been captured and Og hoped Avraham would be killed , Chas Ve Shalom , so that Og could take his wife Sarah but Avraham and Eliezer his beloved servant and supposedly 318 men with him defeated the enemy and saved Lot ( The Gematriah of Eliezer's name is also 318 and some Rabbonim put forward that it was only Avraham and Eliezer alone who defeated the enemy and saved Lot , With HaShem's Help ) . This is where the word ' Ogre ' for ' Giant ' comes from . This was the same Og who , at Yitzchak's weaning , thought to himself that he could crush Yitzchak within his fingers and from that moment on , Did HaShem Decree That this Giant Og , descendant of the Nephillim , would fall by a descendant of Yitzchak , who was Moshe Rabbeinu . The people outside tried to climb to higher ground , but the water massed higher and higher and they were all drowned . The evil people that died , died with their bodies leaving and their souls still in anger and these became Mazikin Demons . The animals in the Ark had to have constant attention and feeding , for different animals have different feeding patterns and times to be fed . Once in feeding , Noach ran a bit late in feeding the Lion , for Noach was so busy and the lion took a claw scratch at him . After many days , Noach noticed that one of the birds looked completely starved and was sitting very quietly and humbly , hardly showing itself and Noach realized that it had not been fed in a long time . Noach asked the bird why it had not alerted him to be fed and the bird said it had seen Noach was so busy that it did not want to be a bother and thus was prepared to hurt its own self rather than trouble Noach . For this action , HaShem Blessed the bird and it became what we today know as the mystical bird the Phoenix , that rises again , For HaShem Had Blessed it With continual life in reward for its action , to be prepared to lose its life for Noach's sake . So the family of Noach was kept very busy . HaShem Commanded That all pairs and couples on the Ark were not to be together sexually , but two disobeyed and these were Cham ( Noach's son ) and the kelev , the dog . HaShem Remembered Noach and all that was in the Ark , Which Meant That HaShem Was Ready To Let the Mabul period end and on the 17th of the Seventh Month , the Ark came to rest on the Mountains of Ararat , one of the tallest mountains in that region near modern day Iraq . Noach first sent the raven but it returned and had a negative thought that Noach wanted its mate . So it did not want to go anymore . How totally wrong of it . Noach then sent out the dove but it too returned for the water had not totally subsided yet . Noach waited another seven days and sent out the dove again and this time it returned with an olive leaf in its mouth . Olive leaves are usually a bit bitter and according to Rashi , it was saying that better a bit of bitterness From HaShem's Hand then food given from man . Some of our Rabbonim even think the olive leaf may have come from Gan Eiden or even Israel . All were Commanded to leave the Ark and as soon as that happened , Noach made korbanos And HaShem Showed His Upset At man And Assured That there will never be another full World flood And HaShem Placed His " Kashes " - " Rainbow Bow " As A Sign That there will never be another Full World Flood . The Bow faces upwards , To Show HaShem's Mercy That He Points His Arrow Away From us , but with the Rainbow , we are to remember that at such a time when it appears , HaShem Is Showing us His Displeasure With us . Within the word ' Kashti ' - ' My Bow , ' is the word ' Kasheh ' which means ' Hard , ' Showing How Hard HaShem Tries To Have Mercy With us all day and day after day . So started the seasons at that time . Noach walked out into an empty World and he was depressed and so planted Vineyards with the thought to make wine . Satan came to him and showed him three animals and when Noach asked what these are about , Satan allied it with the results of drinking , for the first drink , one becomes like a monkey jumping around , then if one continues to drink one becomes like a lion , bold and aggressive and if one continues to drink even more , one becomes like a pig , rolling in the dirt . During one of the occasions that Noach had too much to drink , his son Cham saw his own Father undressed , having drunk over much . Cham first saw his Father's nakedness and should have turned his gaze away from his Father's nakedness , but did not and told his two brothers " Bachutz " - " Outside . " This word " Outside " refers to that Cham spoke and slandered his Father Outside , in other words loudly that others could hear . Shem and Yafes walked backwards , so as to respect their Father and covered him . Because Shem was the main one who wanted to cover his Father , so also do we Jews , as one reason , Get Blessed with wearing Tzitzis , for we are descended from Shem , who was Melchitzeddek in Avraham's time . Noach's son Cham had a son called Canaan , referred to as Noach's own son , but it was Cham's son Canaan . According to Ramban , Canaan was Cham's firstborn son . This would mean that Canaan was conceived at a time That Was Forbidden By HaShem for couples to be together sexually , in the Ark and so is the result of sin and the negativity that follows it and not listening To HaShem . Canaan did not want Noach to have any more offspring and according to a number of opinions , came and castrated his own Grandfather . According to other opinions , he raped his own Grandfather . Noach cursed him , to have to serve his brothers . Holy Noach passed away at the age of 950 . The Torah then gives the descendants of the three sons of Noach . It is from these that the 70 nations of the World came . All people at the time were of one language , which was Ivrit Hebrew . We note how one of the nations that are to fight at the End of Days , Magog , descends from Yafes . When mentioning Cham's descendants , we note how when referring to Cush , the first 5 sons are mentioned and then separately is Nimrod mentioned separately as a son of Cush . The reason for this that Nimrod is mentioned as a separate son , Is That HaShem Wanted To Specifically Point Out That Nimrod had human parents , though Nimrod had those around him deceived and believing otherwise , for he falsely told people that he was a deity . The name Nimrod , has within it Marad , which refers to Rebelling , for it was Nimrod who caused the People in his time to rebel against HaShem . Nimrod had gotten the special garments , That Were Originally Made By HaShem For Adam when they were forced to leave the Garden . These Garments were passed down to Adam's son Shais and down the line to Noach and ended up being taken by one in Cham's line and so did Nimrod acquire them , for they would subdue animals and so , did Nimrod give the false idea to others that he was a Mighty Hunter . HaShem Calls him Might Hunter before HaShem , for Nimrod wanted to get all people to literally hunt Hashem and remove Him , Chas Ve Shalom and so , when Nimrod started to build the Tower of Bavel , he had a sword put on the top so as to point upwards as a defiant attack on HaShem . It was from Cham that Egypt Mitzrayim came and also down the line , the Pelishtim Philistines from where modern day Greece comes . From Canaan , son of Cham , came the nations That HaShem wanted destroyed in Canaan . From Shem , down the line , through Ever , who ensured to be " Eiver " - " On the other side " - Away from those that did not want to follow HaShem , for Eiver followed HaShem and his line stayed away from idol worshippers . It was through his line down the line from Shem , that Avram descended and so were we Jews known as ' Ivrim ' - ' Jews ' - Those On HaShem's Side - The Other side of and away from idolatry , that the rest of the World followed then , sadly as do some now . It was at this time when Nimrod instituted the building of the city and the Tower of Bavel , that Avraham was 48 years old and refused to take part in it even though people taunted him and wanted him to help , for he was a tall strong man and the bricks were heavy . The one difference That HaShem Did Not Completely Destroy the Generation of the Dispersal ( Bavel ) Like HaShem Did , In Destroying the Generation of the Mabul - Flood , is because at least in the project of the building of the Tower of Babel , the people at least had peace with each other . The people at the time believed and many tried to push HaShem away and so they put forth the idea that every 1656 years , the World has a flood , thus trying to push away HaShem's Providence and so it was decided that they would build a tower to reach Heaven and thus avoid another flood . Also some of those led by Nimrod wanted to wage war against HaShem . They feared being dispersed and so , Did HaShem Make that one of their punishments - being dispersed . HaShem Came Down With a host of Angels So As To Show And Teach us That even the Leader need confer with His generals . HaShem Noticed how a falling man in this tower building project had no value , but a falling brick , people would mourn over . HaShem Felt their ingratitude and so , Came Down To Judge the sons of man . The Tower was immense . It had stairs for going up on its eastern side and stairs for going down on its western side . Its structure was built to last and atop , Nimrod set an idol with sword in hand pointing upwards . The Tower was so tall that a man walking in its shadow , would have to walk for three days before finally coming out of its shadow . Its top was sometimes covered in low cloud and its bottom was so very wide that it would take a long time to walk around it . Its top could not be seen from the bottom and its bottom could not be seen from its top . HaShem Punished them In three different ways . Firstly the ones who wanted to rebel and attack HaShem , faced lighting and fire and destruction . The ones who wanted to make a place for themselves and worship idols , were turned into monkeys and those that joined the rest of the project , had their language and dialects confounded so that they could not understand each other . If one would ask for a hammer , the other would not understand and give him a brick . Fighting broke out between them and many were killed . The builders of the Tower were dispersed and went to different places and in different directions and to different lands , in their own language . Thus was their coming together to sin , punished by their separation and their dispersal . So was the Tower called Bavel for the word refers to Confounding of the Language and so were they scattered over the Earth . And what of the Tower ? The bottom third was swallowed by the Earth and the top third was struck and destroyed by lighting bolts and fire , leaving only the middle part that remained , which was still very tall . After this , HaShem's Torah Gives the line from Shem to Avraham , another ten generations , like the ten generations from Adam to Noach . The Father of Avram was Terach , who begot Avram , Nahor and Haran ( from whom was born Lot , Avram's Nephew ) . Nimrod had set himself up as a ruler and had built a massive palace . All who came to him , had to ensure they would be physically lower than him , in his presence . Terach , Avram's Father was his viceroy at the time . The astrologers warned Nimrod that a baby was just born who would topple Nimrod and show Nimrod up as not being a deity . Nimrod was informed that this would be the son of Terach and so , did Nimrod tell Terach to bring his new child to be killed . Terach requested Nimrod to not kill his son , but Nimrod threatened Terach's whole family that they would be burnt if Terach did not listen and so did Terach request three days to prepare his family for the giving up of his newborn Avram . Terach instead took another boy , the son of a slave woman that served him and gave it to Nimrod , as his own . Terach was not sure that this would be enough and so Avram was put in a cave at three years old and it was then that Avram , being a lover of Astronomy even at that age , that Avram noticed how the Sun ( that was believed to be a deity at the time ) went away and was replaced by the Moon ( also believed to be a deity ) and so they could not be deities . Avram watched the natural happenings of nature and realized that there must be A Divine And Beautiful Intelligence Behind this all and so did Avram Find HaShem . HaShem Had Waited twenty generations for this holy soul to come . Many years later , Avram left the cave and was more open with his inner thoughts and started even at a young age to try to get people to leave their false beliefs And Follow HaShem Only . Terach , Avram's Father , had a shop that sold idols . Avram constantly tried to get through to his Father , but his Father would not listen . One day , Avram was put in charge of his Father's shop . Avram's Mother had made a special food and Avram decided to leave it in front of one of the idols to prove that they cannot eat , as they are but stone and wood . His Father still would not change then . So when his Father left him in the shop , a woman walked in requesting an idol and Avram asked her how can she buy something that is so not alive that it won't and cannot even eat a meal . Another man came in and said that he wanted an idol for protection as his idols were robbed and Avram pointed out to him that the idols won't protect anyone as they cannot even protect themselves from being stolen . Another elderly man came in and showed interest in a newly made idol . Avraham said to him , ' How can you follow something that is so much younger than you and that was just made yesterday . ' So did Avraham go out of his way to do away with idolworship . So did Avraham go out of his way To Teach About HaShem The One And Only True Creator In this World . Avram had had enough of these idols and while his Father was out , he took a big hammer and smashed all the idols but one , the largest one , putting the hammer in the stone hands of this largest one and when his Father returned and saw the destruction , he asked his son what had happened . His son answered and said that he had brought food for them and put it in front of one of the idols and the big one got jealous and took a hammer and smashed all the others and Avram said that if his Father doesn't believe him , he can go look and see the hammer still in the hands of the biggest idol . Terach was furious and told his son that this is impossible as the idols are not alive and so did Avram say then , ' How can you sell and trick people with these idols and believe in them . ' Terach felt obligated to report this incident to Nimrod , who had also heard about it and realized now that this was the son that Terach was supposed to have brought to kill but hadn't . Nimrod called Avram and at the same time , was Haran , his brother there too in front of Nimrod . Avram refused to bow lower than Nimrod . As one entered Nimrod's place , there was an idol statue of Nimrod and no one was allowed to be taller than it , but Avram stood up erect , refusing to prostrate himself to anything and anyone But HaShem Only and Avram was also a very tall man . When Avram entered , Nimrod got off his throne and lowered himself so that all in front of him had to go even lower , as was Nimrod's law , but Avram refused and still stood erect . Avram was not shy and spoke loudly Of HaShem Shaddai As Maker Of the Heavens and the Earth and all of Creation . Nimrod told Avram that he was standing before a deity and Avram responded that if he was divine , let him prove that he can make the sun rise and set in the opposite direction from where it sets . Nimrod knew he was beaten and so did he have Avram put in prison . It was here that Avram met his beloved Servant Eliezer , for Eliezer was Nimrod's son . HaShem brought these two holy men together And Saved Avram even in the prison for Nimrod had not wanted to give Avram even food And HaShem Sent His Angels to feed Avram . Eliezer was most interested in Avram's Teachings Of HaShem The One And Only and Eliezer fully believed in Avram and his G-D . Eliezer became Totally Faithful To HaShem and would visit Avram in the prison and learn from him and also bring him food . Eliezer left with Avram when they all left Ur Kasdim and totally turned his back on his idol worshiping father Nimrod , so as to totally follow HaShem . A very holy man was Eliezer and very beloved was Eliezer to Avram as was Avram very beloved to Eliezer . Nimrod had a furnace built , hotter than any other and so was the place called Ur Kasdim - Ur The Fire Furnace of the Chaldees . Avram had to watch this furnace being built and when the time came , they prepared to throw Avram in it . HaShem Sent an Angel To Save Avram and Avram walked out unscathed . They asked Haran , Avram's brother what Haran believed and when and only when he saw that Avram escaped unharmed , did he say he also believes as Avram ( not in full faith but only because of what he had just seen ) and so was Haran burnt in the Furnace , in front of Terach his Father , as The Holy Torah portion says , that Haran died in the lifetime of Terach his Father . Avram and Nahor his brother took themselves wives . Avram married Yiscah who was Sarai and Nahor married Milcah , both were daughters of Avram's brother Haran . Things became very dangerous for Terach and Avram and so did they all leave Ur Kasdim for Canaan and when they settled in Haran , Terach years later passed away at 205 , when Yitzchak ( Avram's son ) was already 35 years old . Terach realized the truth before he passed on and so , in Haran , the part of him that was not following HaShem , ended ( died ) in Haran , for what happened to Avram being saved and Haran being burnt for having no Emunah Faith and Trust In HaShem , woke Terach up to the truth . So ends the Parsha . So here we have three different men . Noach , Avraham and Nimrod . With these different men , so can we see the choices in life we are faced with and their results . To live a life like Nimrod , to totally turn away From HaShem , Chas Ve Shalom and fight HaShem every step of the way and think of being deified , lands one in Gehinnom and set for destruction , which is exactly what happened to Nimrod , who faced a fate of death at the Spiritual hands of the very holy man Avram , that Nimrod wanted to kill , for he ( Avraham ) faced Nimrod - Amraphel in the big battle with the four kings against five in Avram's time - ( one of them being that very Nimrod called Amraphel king of Shinar - Babylon , where the word Amraphel can be broken into the words ( Hebrew words translation from New Hebrew English Dictionary Yisrael Lazar ) ' ma'Am'ar ' - ' leader ' - ' Pilag ' weak and feeble in his belief of not following HaShem and ' Pilug ' which means ' splitting and division and divided ' against HaShem . To live a life like Noach , that starts out righteous and must continue so , leads one with a base of a good beginning , but this is not enough , for one must do for all and not just for one's own family . So , to live a life of and like Avraham , Is How HaShem Would Like us to be . We are here To Bring HaShem's Light To all the dark corners of this World . To live each day as Avraham did , In Total Service Of HaShem and to ensure very importantly , that we are to bring up our children in the way of our Fore-Fathers , even today , that our children continue In The Path Of HaShem's Holy Torah , as deep and full as Moshe taught us . That is the way to live . Not to be like Nimrod , who seeks only to serve himself and be served , unlike Noach and Avraham , seeking to serve our Creator and like Avraham , looking always to the welfare of others , to bring them Closer To The Shechinah Of HaShem and even if they are not the best people , like Sodom and Amorah ( Gomorrah ) Admah and Zeboiim , to still speak for them and try to save them By HaShem , as Avraham did . That Is The Path To HaShem . That Is The Path To Peace . That Is The Path To The End Of Days . That Is The Path To HaShem's Light And Love . What we choose , is who we are and who we are , is what we choose , so always must we choose and be As HaShem Is . For To Emulate HaShem , is to define ourselves As HaShem Wants us To Be . We are to be a Light to the Nations and a Light to all around us . That Light that we must carry In Love , we must make ourselves worthy to carry. The Light Of HaShem . To Light Up this World , is to fulfil our destiny , A Destiny That HaShem Set For us all At Creation . Go out into the World around you and fulfil your destiny That HaShem Has Set For you . Be as Avram and make every moment last an eternity , by bringing this World and all around you , To The Holy Light Of HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Beautiful And Ever Most Special And Ever So Beloved HaShem With Deepest Forever And Eternal Love , A Very Beautiful And Sweet Shabbos Kodesh And Chodesh Tov With Eternal And Forever Special Love and to all of my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , the children of the holy Noach and holy Naamah , a Very Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov with love .

I dedicate this Torah Parashah to my dear beloved uncles Thomas Sternberg a"h and Ian Israel Cohen a"h . May HaShem Bless their dear Neshomas To Be In Gan Eiden and Shamayim Surrounded By HaShem's Love . The Shabbos Parsha is Parashas Bereishis , where we return To The Beginning Of HaShem's Holy Torah again and start reading anew . The Haftorah for this Parsha is in Yeshayahu Isaiah 42 : 5 - 43 : 10 and from the very first words of the Haftorah which states , " So Said The G-D , HaShem , Who Creates The Heavens and Stretches Them Forth , Spreads Out the Earth and what grows from it , Gives a soul To the people upon it , and a spirit To those who walk on it , " we can see why it is the Haftorah that goes with The Sedra That Relates HaShem's Creation Of the Creation , of which our Parsha this Shabbos begins . HaShem Dictated this To Moshe , who wrote It down Exactly As HaShem Instructed , holding within It all the Secrets of The Creation . Starting with a large Hebrew Letter Beis , To Show That HaShem , Who Is Represented By The Alef , Existed Before All Things And Is Before all Of Creation And Who Creates All Things . HaShem Made The Hebrew Letter " Beis , " which in Hebrew also means " House , " For HaShem Made Creation and all that is in it , as if it is to be A House For HaShem and so are we all are to work to make HaShem's Creation , into a ' House ' Into Which HaShem , With us , Can Dwell . Within the word " Bereishis , " are many secrets within The Letters That HaShem Used . HaShem Created The Hebrew Alphabet , With Which HaShem Made all things At The Beginning Of Creation . The Letters in the Word " Bereishis can also spell " Rosh Beis , " For HaShem Is The Rosh - Head Of His House Of Creation . Also within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Yireh Shabbat , " - " Fear and See the Shabbos , " For Shabbos Is HaShem's Eternal Creation which was and will again Be The Destination Of Creation . Also within the Letters of " Bereishis , " the Letters also form the Word " Bara'ta and the letters Shin and Yud , " where " Bara'ta , " means " And He ( HaShem ) Made " and the Letters Shin and Yud , which are Gematrically 310 , thus the Secret that shows that this is not the First Creation , For " HaShem Made 310 . " Also within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Brit Eish / Ish " which means " HaShem's Covenant With Man / Person " and also " HaShem's Covenant With Fire , " for as our Sages tell us , HaShem Created The Holy Torah and wrote it ( The Original Torah Which Is With HaShem ) With Black Fire On White Fire . HaShem Also Made A Covenant With us Jews to Keep HaShem's Holy Torah , for one who keeps HaShem's Torah , is Truly a Man / Person and all people should follow HaShem's Commandments . Also , within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Borei Shtei , " which means , " And He ( HaShem ) Created Two , " which is a reference to The Two Parts to The Holy Torah , Of The Written Torah - ' She Be Michtav ' and the Oral Torah ' She Be Al Peh , " Showing that both are part of The Holy Torah , Given By HaShem To Moshe Rabbeinu . Also the Two That HaShem Made , refers to the Two first beings of Adam Ve Chavah . Also , that most Creatures on Earth have a Male and a Female and the union of both in Holiness brings us To The One Creator HaShem , for both man and woman are to work together to bring each other to Holiness , working together to lift each other up in learning and working for Holiness . HaShem Fore-Saw the Aveirah that people would do And Thus HaShem Created right at the Beginning the solution to this , in Mashiach , related to the number seven Gematrically . We see this in the first verse , which has Seven Hebrew Words in it . Also , within the first word " Bereishis , " are the words " Borei Sheis , " - " Created Shais , " where Shais was the third Son of Adam and Chavah , the first one conceived outside of the Garden of Eden Gan Eiden and as one opinion , so will Shais thus return as Mashiach , the first one who will lead us back in , At The End Of Days . The Secrets here are Endless and so are the Beautiful Sparks within each Hebrew Word Of The Holy Torah Of HaShem . With Ten Pronouncements Did HaShem Create Creation As Did HaShem Renew His Covenant On Har Sinai With His Jewish People Israel , With Ten Pronouncements . Ten , is the number of Completion and so Is Creation Complete as it is from its beginning to its end And So Are HaShem's Ten Pronouncements And All Of HaShem's Commandments And Mitzvos , The Only Way For us to reach That Completion of Creation , Listening To HaShem And Following HaShem And HaShem's Commandments Wholeheartedly with love always . We note the word " Barah , " in the first verse of Bereishis , which is like ' Borei , ' which appears in Brochas that we say over things we partake of , showing us how each time that we make a Brocha , we are Blessing HaShem's Creation , as well as the article we are Blessing , That Was Created At The Beginning Of Creation . HaShem Created all things In Six Days and this is a reference to the 6000 years of time that we are in right now till Moshiach , unless Mashiach comes early . HaShem First Said In The first verse , That He Created the Heavens ( plural for there are Seven Main Levels Of Heaven Shamayim ) and the Earth . So any article we Bless now , waited all this time to finally have it's spiritual essence return To HaShem And HaShem Knew even then , each and every bite that we will take . We must thus always Acknowledge HaShem The One And Only Creator , In All Things . We note that at first , the Earth was " Tohu Va Vohu ' - " Empty and Without Form , " For HaShem Had Not Yet Put Himself Or His Divine Presence Within it , For It Hovered Above . Being " Tohu Va Vohu " - " Empty and without Form , " shows that all was within it yet it was Empty for it had not taken form yet , showing how all of us only become fulfilled , when we fulfil our destinies that we are meant to fulfil and only then do we have our intended Holy Form . When HaShem Said " Yehi Ohr " - " Let there be Light , " HaShem Who Is All Giving , Gave too much Light And HaShem Had To Retract Some Of That Original Light , For It Was Too Holy And Bright , So That It Could Be Kept For The End Of Days And Some Of This Light Filters Down To us every Shabbos , For It Is The Light Of Eternal Shabbos . Thus All things were in the Original Darkness ( which itself was also a Creation ) showing that all was there as potential and needed to grow and release the true reality Of The Light Within From HaShem . HaShem Separated The Light and Darkness , for so must we keep a separation of positivity from negativity . So was One Day , which starts in the evening before and so do we Jews start our Hebrew Day at Maariv in the evening at the time when three stars appear in the sky . It Was On the Second Day That HaShem Created a Firmament In the midst of the Waters to separate between Water and Water . And so became Shamayim , Heaven , which has within it " Shem Mayim " - ' The Name Of HaShem In Sanctified Water . Also Shamayim , is a mixture of Eish and Mayim - Fire and Water , two usually opposing forces , But With HaShem , There Is Peace . So was the Second day . The Third Day , saw The Creation By HaShem Of Earth Dry Land and within , herb yielding seed , fruit trees yielding fruit ( for at first all trees had fruit that was edible , as was the bark and branches ) . Here , at the gathering together of things on this day , HaShem Called it " Good " unlike the Second day , for here peace and togetherness reigned , which is Good , unlike the Separation on the Second Day , Which HaShem Did Not Call Good , For Peace and not strife , togetherness and not separation , Is Good . On the Fourth Day , Did HaShem Create the luminaries , sun and moon and stars And Also some of the Angels , who were not there at the beginning , so that none could say others helped with Creation . Only HaShem Created . Only HaShem Is The Creator . On the Fifth Day were the Sea Creatures Created By HaShem and they were Given the Command to " P'ru Ur'vu " - " to be " Fruitful and Multiply . " The Sixth Day saw The Creation By HaShem of Animals and beasts and birds and like all things , Were Commanded By HaShem To stick with their own kind . To them too , were they to Be fruitful and Multiply and fill Creation . All were Instructed that only the herbage was for food . HaShem Calls this Day " Very Good " for on it , as these words refer , was the Yetzer Horah , to test man and woman so they could grow higher in holiness , overcoming their personal desires , to attain the True Holy Good . On the Seventh Day HaShem Gave The Holy Shabbos , Making It Holier over all others , the destination of Creation . HaShem Only Sent Rain To Water the Earth , Only After Man Was Created and when man prayed for it , for it is up to man to make himself worthy to Bless the Earth with Rain From HaShem . HaShem , on the sixth day , Took dust from all the World and Formed Adam and for his head , HaShem Took dust from the Holy Land . Hashem Blew Into his nostrils the soul of Life . HaShem Made a Garden in Eden And HaShem Placed the man there to the East . HaShem Gave Man ADaM ( Adam Dovid Moshiach ) The Command to work the Garden , by studying HaShem's Laws And Guarding it , from the Yetzer Horah which was the Angel Samael . HaShem Instructed him - Adam , after he Was Created with Chava at first together , that they can eat of any tree of the Garden , but or except the Tree in the Midst of the Garden , whose leaves covered the whole Garden , The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad / Evil . Joined to this Tree's root , was also the Tree of Life ( of Eternity ) , Warning them that they would bring on death into the World if they disobeyed . Adam was to name the animals and thus see that man needs a separate mate , in order to grow spiritually and so when Adam was naming the animals , Adam was made to realize that none of them was bone of his bones . The name that Adam called each animal in Hebrew ( and he also formed the names of each animal in all the 70 languages of the world ) was prophetic . As an example , the Frog in Hebrew is called ' Tzefardeah ' which means ' to fit in ', which is exactly what the frog did in Egypt when it went into the ovens and other things that the frogs fitted into , in the Plague of Frogs . HaShem Wanted people to be humble and so can we always be told that even the gnat was Created before we were . So should we always be humble . HaShem Put Adam to sleep on Mount Moriah , the site of the Temple And HaShem Separated Man and Woman And HaShem Brought Chava to Adam afterwards , where Adam said the first ever Sheva Brochas at their wedding in Gan Eiden , Where HaShem Was The First Shadchan And Deliverer Of the Bride to the Wedding Canopy and the Angels Michael and Gavriel were the witnesses . Adam was a massively tall man , whose face shone as the sun . The Angels had never seen such a beautiful Creation and some Had To Be told By HaShem not to worship him . From Adam's Floating Rib was Chava taken , so that we are to remember that man and woman must be side to and by side on equal levels , both to treat each other with mutual respect . They were both " Arum " - " Naked " but were not ashamed , for no negative desires had they taken on yet . They were also both only naked to each other , which suggested only total openness to each other as a married couple , not only physically , but also emotionally sharing their innermost being and feelings . Samael the Angel enters the snake and tries to tempt Chava . We note how the same word " Arum " is used for his " cunning , " showing that how we use things is our choice , for good or for negativity . He was cunning for he knew the " nakedness , " the Openness of their thoughts and so he knew how to and what would entice . The snake approached Chava and at first questioned her pride , getting her to state more than HaShem Commanded , for she said that neither can she eat of the Tree nor touch it . HaShem Never Commanded them not to touch it , but by her addition , she was caught , in adding more Than HaShem Commanded . A lesson to us all , not to Add to or Subtract from HaShem's Holy Torah . All Samael had to do now was push her against the Tree and she was proven wrong that they could touch the Tree . Her reaching her hand up and taking of the Fruit , was now easier an action . In Samael's close physical contact of pushing her , he spiritually raped her and a part of his negativity went into one of the children she was now carrying , Kayin and so did she hint at this when saying she had made a child with a spiritual being . She persuaded her husband Adam to also partake and so , they became ashamed , for now their Yetzer Horahs had been triggered within them . HaShem Manifested Himself In the Garden and they hid for they were ashamed at what they had done and felt different and less able to be In HaShem's Closer Presence , as one does feel when one commits an Aveirah which teaches us that Aveirahs put distance and shame between HaShem and us . When HaShem asked " Ayeka , " - " Where are you ? " HaShem Knew exactly where they were but was giving them an opportunity to own up . Also , this statement meant , Where are you now spiritually on level , for by your action , you are no longer on the same holy level - Madreiga as before . Each blamed the next and each was punished , the woman with painful childbirth , the man with hard toil , all with the fact that now they would eventually die and the snake , for Loshoning HaShem , would no longer walk upright as before , but would eat dust , just like the words he used when he slandered . They were expelled from the Garden , lest they eat from the Tree of Life and thus would sin be a forever thing and Angels with the ever turning sword , Were Put to prevent their return . Adam called his wife Chava Eve , where the name Chava is like Chiya which is a snake in Aramaic as a hidden reference to the snake , but in a language ( Aramaic ) that most of the Angels cannot speak ( except the Angel Gavriel ) , thus Adam was secretly using the name of the snake , in order to assist the woman in fighting the Yetzer Horah ( where like fights like and like cleanses like , just like the secrets of the Chok of the Parah Aduma . Her name also has within it the word " Chai " - " Life , " which refers to her being the life ancestor of all the living who come after her . The Unique One referred to in these verses is a reference to Mashiach whose spiritual essence had pre-knowledge of Worlds before . Outside the Garden , Adam and Chava's children Kayin and Hevel , who according to Rashi were born in the Garden before the expulsion , both had different outlooks . Hevel was a spiritual man , while Kayin was a physical man . Both brought offerings To HaShem and while Hevel brought of the best , Kayin brought of the " Mipri Ha Adamah " - " From the fruit of the ground , " which literally meant that he picked up the overripe and or rotten fruit that had already fallen to the ground as his offering . Hevel's offering was accepted , but Kayin's was not and Kayin became angry , which causes one's spiritual countenance to be lowered , as does anger . A fight broke out between the brothers , where Kayin tricked Hevel , asking him to divide the portion of the World he wants , between the two , either the ground , or all that is above it . Knowing that Hevel was a spiritual man , when Hevel chose all that is above ( seeing that it was only the two of them and wives born in tow , which Kayin also fought about ) Kayin then ordered Hevel off the portion that is the ground , telling Hevel that Hevel has now chosen all that is above the ground . A fight ensued and Kayin kept trying to chase Hevel off the land , till they reached a rocky precipice and Kayin wanted to throw him off . Hevel gained the upper hand and wanted to get up and walk away , when Kayin deceitfully came and slew him , hitting him with a rock on the head and Kayin tried to cover it up with earth . The Earth cried out To HaShem , refusing to settle with the murdered Hevel's blood and Kayin was forced to go to Nod as a wanderer , to be killed in the seventh generation . The descendants of Kayin are then given in this Torah Portion and his relative and descendant who was called Naamah , actually became Noach's wife . She was a righteous woman . A descendant of Kayin , Enoch is also mentioned as a city builder , which meant in this context and verse , that his generation , was the first to introduce Avodah Zorah Idol Worship to humanity . It started when people then first looked up to the heavenly bodies as marvels of HaShem and then they started to pray to them and build temples and cities around their idols that they put for these false idols . How sad . During this time , Adam had actually separated from his wife Chava for 130 years after they left the Garden , in order to try and atone for the sin committed . It was after this that Seth Shais was born . This took place when a descendant of Kayin called Lamech , who had two wives , one for childbearing and another for pleasure as it is stated , got angry with Lamech whose son was Tubal-Cain , who used to lead him by the way , for Lamech was blind and it happened once that Tubal-Cain shot and killed Kayin by mistake , thinking he was an animal , due to the sign That HaShem Put on Kayin after Kayin had committed the murder . Lamech felt very worried that he would be punished and consulted with his wives , who did not want to live with him . He demanded that they return and it was suggested that they seek advice from Adam which they did , who they had said had also separated from his wife Chava and they said that Adam should not give advice till he himself returns to his wife Chavah , which Adam did after the 130 years and so Shais was born . The descendants of Adam through Seth Shais are then given till Noach , who Found Grace In HaShem's Eyes and part of the curse against the ground was lifted in Noach's honour and so was he called Noach which means Rest and Comfort ( From HaShem's Decree Against the Earth after being cursed after Adam's and then Kayin's sin . It is interesting that Noach's Father was 777 years old when he passed away , where this number is taken today as a positive number , for the generation after Lamech was Noach , a very holy man , who brought with his morals , rest and comfort to the Earth . Adam was 930 years when he passed away , where he was due to live till 1000 , for Adam gave up 70 years for his distant descendant Dovid Ha Melech who was to die at birth ( ADaM - Adam Dovid Moshiach ( from whose line ( Dovid ) ) , Moshiach is due to come ) . Noach was 500 years when he bore three sons Shem , Cham and Yafes . Two Malachim Angels , Shamchazai and Azael , came Before HaShem requesting HaShem To Send them down so they could show how they would not become corrupt as people had become . HaShem Warned them they would not be able to control themselves , but they refused to listen and so they came down and when they were down here , they could not control their desires and so they cohabited with the daughters of men and so were born the Nephilim , the Fallen ones , of which Og ( who survived the Flood the Mabul by holding on to the outside of the Ark , where Noach had built for him a platform and little roof cover ) . Also related to these Nephilim , was Sichon . Both Sichon and Og were eventually killed by Moshe , As Told In The Holy Torah . Relatives of these Nephilim were also the Giants that the spies who came to spy out Canaan reported seeing , when the sad incident of the spies happened in Moshe's time . HaShem Saw the evil that was done and the theft And HaShem Had heartfelt pain at how they behaved and their evil ways And So Decided On the Mabul , the Flood , but Noach , a man righteous in Noach's generation , Found Grace In The Eyes Of HaShem . So ends the Parsha . HaShem Made For us all such a Beautiful Creation With So Many Special And Beautiful Things Of HaShem's Love . HaShem's Creation is filled with everything that it needs to subsist . HaShem's Creation is filled with the answer to every ailment and every question that we and all of Creation would ever need . HaShem Saw To Putting Into Creation , the answer to every Aveirah we might make , that would ever affect our World . HaShem Created this all Right At Creation . Before HaShem Created Creation , HaShem Planned Every Part Of It . Into HaShem's Plan , HaShem Wrote The Answers to all of our Needs . HaShem Looked Into This Plan And HaShem Created Creation . This Plan , Was HaShem's Holy Torah Wisdom . HaShem Wrote His Torah two thousand years Before HaShem Made Creation and as our Rabbonim tell us , HaShem Looked Into His Holy Torah And Created The World . Only HaShem Truly Owns The World . We become permitted users Of HaShem's World , when we make our Brachot and so then have permission to eat from and use What HaShem Has Made . In making our Brachot , we are actually Blessing what ever we are about to partake in or of , That Was Created By HaShem Right At The Beginning Of Bereishis and so , that article that waited so long to be of service , when we make our Brachot , we take that article's Spiritual Essence and return it on High , where our Brocha gives us permission to partake of it . To not say a Brocha before hand , is to take that Which HaShem Has Made and without HaShem's Permission and just use it and this is akin to ' Ganeivah ' - ' Stealing / Theft . ' This is seen in the very word ' Ganav / Geneivah , ' for the word ' Ganav ' has within it , the words ' Gan ' - Meaning ' Garden ' and ' Neveilah ( which is also an animal that died in the field without Kosher Shechitah and thus impure ) , ' - Meaning ' Forbidden / Evil . ' All That HaShem Makes , HaShem Put In His Garden and to take or steal anything from His Garden without His Permission via the Brocha before and afterwards ( For HaShem's Creation here bears out How HaShem Made All Things And Put them Into His Garden Gan Eiden ) , is to do Evil and take that which is forbidden , until it is Blessed . HaShem Made The Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil And HaShem Gave Instructions Regarding The Tree of Knowledge . Those Instructions were not obeyed and thus what was forbidden , was taken without HaShem's Permission . HaShem Knows When something can be permitted and when it is forbidden and we are always to trust Him . The result of not listening , took us from Gan Eiden , to struggle and toil and for women to have pain in childbirth and the Yetzer Horah was activated and so did Death come into the World . If we look at things From HaShem's Point Of View , HaShem Could Just As Well Have Not Created us at all . HaShem Had Peace before we hurt HaShem . HaShem In His Totally Giving And Kind Ways , Made And Opened Up For us A Beautiful Created World , with all the things that we need . HaShem Must Have Had Such Hopes and Joy In His Giving , Even Though HaShem Knows the future , HaShem Still Gave us the benefit of the doubt And Gave With Full Love . If we look around us today at all the beautiful things That HaShem Made For us And How HaShem Filled His World , The Love That He Must Have Felt For us , Is Totally Astounding . How Sad How HaShem Must Have Really Felt , when we so disappointed Him . HaShem's Own Words Certainly Bear this out When HaShem Says In Bereishis Genesis 6 : 5 - 6 , " HaShem Saw that the wickedness of Man was great upon the Earth , and that every product of the thoughts of his heart was but evil always . And HaShem reconsidered having made Man on earth and He had heartfelt sadness . " How Very Sad For HaShem . All These Amazing Actions Of HaShem's Love In Making A World Ready For man to come And Even HaShem Making man last , as if preparing the World for man on a platter and then we come and disappoint and hurt HaShem So Deeply . All HaShem Asks Of us is To Listen To Him and not go our own way , for our own sake . Thankfully to Noach , who was one great Tzaddik , Found Grace In The Eyes Of HaShem . How this shows that even one person and his or her obedient and good moral actions To HaShem , can save Creation . We should all be that one person . HaShem Created Adam Ve Chava at first joined And HaShem Had Adam see all the animals and name them . HaShem Has Purpose In All That He Does . HaShem Knew That Adam would want the separation physically from Chava so that they could afterwards join and become one . But the need for their separation had its purpose . Rashi points out how this had to be , So That HaShem Alone Is One and Unique . There is not another like HaShem , Who Is One And Who Was Alone When He Made Creation . Thus the need for Adam and Chava to be two , is so important , For Only HaShem Is Oneness and should humans have had this Oneness , they may have tried to profess themselves deified , Chas Ve Shalom . Only HaShem Is One . Adam and Chava only noticed their physicalities as something to cover , after their Aveirah . Before that , they were not ashamed , for before their Aveirah , the Yezter Horah was not yet awakened within them . Once they sinned , then the negative desire came . Before this , even their coming together , was Purely To Serve HaShem and did not contain a part for their own personal and selfish gratification . So after the sin , their own Spiritual holy level dropped , so it is so understandable What HaShem Meant , When HaShem Came Looking For them In The Garden And Said " Ayeka " - " Where Are you ? " HaShem Knew Full Well where they were and was not asking them physically but Spiritually , where are they now in Spiritual Level , lower than they were before , as if to make them realize how disobedience leads to a need to then ask oneself after the Aveirah , where Spiritually one has lowered oneself to . Torah Laws Are There From HaShem To Help us and keep us Climbing Higher and Higher . Sadly each one named and blamed the next one and so were we sent out of Gan Eiden . The dust of Loshon Horah against HaShem that the snake spoke , resulted in him having that dust as punishment for his food . HaShem Clearly Says About Adam that " It is not good that man be alone ; I will make him a helper corresponding to him . " This is in reference to Chava , whom HaShem Refers To As an " Eizer K'negdo " literally meaning " A Helpmeet Helpmate Opposite to him . " This might be quite a blow to those males who have a high ego , For HaShem Did Not Make Man as ' the be all and end all ' of the family , But HaShem Gave equal status to the woman . The Very Fact That HaShem Calls Woman " a Helpmeet Helpmate opposite to him , " means that she has a right to contradict him when he is wrong . She is not just to be a puppet on a string for him , but to be a true help-mate , in correcting his wrongs ( of course in a respectable way ) and so , lead him Higher To Holiness . That is the most proper help - mate one can be and have , to help bring your partner Closer every day To HaShem . The same goes the other way around , so a true Spiritual Marriage , consists of the couple coming together and working together to bring each other back to Holiness and Gan Eiden . Our Rabbonim say figuratively , that it is as if she is to be a helpmate corresponding to him if he is worthy and a helpmate opposing him , if he is unworthy . May all couples find themselves worthy . HaShem Alone Made Creation And HaShem Wants us to make every part of Creation Holy . HaShem Wants us to bring Holiness Into every part of It . This can only be done if we Keep HaShem's Holy Torah . So HaShem's Creation Is A Partnership Between HaShem And us . HaShem Made All Things . HaShem Wants us to help complete Creation ( Not That HaShem Needs our help , But HaShem Loves us Enough To Give us this opportunity ) by bringing HaShem's Essence Into all things , By Keeping HaShem's Holy Torah And Commandments And Following HaShem Completely . By doing this , we Invite HaShem To Live Among us And Be Close To us , thus fulfilling HaShem's Command of making a place within us and our World , For HaShem To Dwell Within . This Creation Is HaShem's House after all . HaShem Created Creation With the word " Bereishis , " which starts and ends with a ' Bet ' and ' Tav , ' which when put together spells the word ' Bait ' - ' House . ' So Creation is like HaShem's House and it is our daily task To Invite HaShem Into every part of It , Of His House , His Bait . To do that , the middle letters in between the ' Bet ' and ' Tav ' spells the word ' Roshi , ' - ' My Head , ' the holiest part of a human being and if we Invite HaShem Into His Bait , His House , His Creation , by doing As HaShem Asks , we become One With HaShem's Mind And So Become One With HaShem's Purpose For Creation , In Following HaShem's Holy Torah , His Mind , His Rosh , His Head so to speak And HaShem's Creation Will Reach its final Holy Destination and Heaven and Earth Will Be One With HaShem , Within The Beautiful Mind Of HaShem's Oneness . May It Be Soon In our days , In Full Appreciation And Thanks Always Due , To All That HaShem Does For us all . Thank You HaShem Ever So Much For Your Creation And For All That You Have Made HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Beloved And So Eternally Beautiful HaShem With Everlasting And Forever Deepest Love , A Most Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Most Grateful And Appreciative Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .

I dedicate this Torah Parashah to my dear beloved uncles Thomas Sternberg a"h and Ian Israel Cohen a"h . May HaShem Bless their dear Neshomas To Be In Gan Eiden and Shamayim Surrounded By HaShem's Love . The Shabbos Parsha is Parashas Bereishis , where we return To The Beginning Of HaShem's Holy Torah again and start reading anew . The Haftorah for this Parsha is in Yeshayahu Isaiah 42 : 5 - 43 : 10 and from the very first words of the Haftorah which states , " So Said The G-D , HaShem , Who Creates The Heavens and Stretches Them Forth , Spreads Out the Earth and what grows from it , Gives a soul To the people upon it , and a spirit To those who walk on it , " we can see why it is the Haftorah that goes with The Sedra That Relates HaShem's Creation Of the Creation , of which our Parsha this Shabbos begins . HaShem Dictated this To Moshe , who wrote It down Exactly As HaShem Instructed , holding within It all the Secrets of The Creation . Starting with a large Hebrew Letter Beis , To Show That HaShem , Who Is Represented By The Alef , Existed Before All Things And Is Before all Of Creation And Who Creates All Things . HaShem Made The Hebrew Letter " Beis , " which in Hebrew also means " House , " For HaShem Made Creation and all that is in it , as if it is to be A House For HaShem and so are we all are to work to make HaShem's Creation , into a ' House ' Into Which HaShem , With us , Can Dwell . Within the word " Bereishis , " are many secrets within The Letters That HaShem Used . HaShem Created The Hebrew Alphabet , With Which HaShem Made all things At The Beginning Of Creation . The Letters in the Word " Bereishis can also spell " Rosh Beis , " For HaShem Is The Rosh - Head Of His House Of Creation . Also within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Yireh Shabbat , " - " Fear and See the Shabbos , " For Shabbos Is HaShem's Eternal Creation which was and will again Be The Destination Of Creation . Also within the Letters of " Bereishis , " the Letters also form the Word " Bara'ta and the letters Shin and Yud , " where " Bara'ta , " means " And He ( HaShem ) Made " and the Letters Shin and Yud , which are Gematrically 310 , thus the Secret that shows that this is not the First Creation , For " HaShem Made 310 . " Also within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Brit Eish / Ish " which means " HaShem's Covenant With Man / Person " and also " HaShem's Covenant With Fire , " for as our Sages tell us , HaShem Created The Holy Torah and wrote it ( The Original Torah Which Is With HaShem ) With Black Fire On White Fire . HaShem Also Made A Covenant With us Jews to Keep HaShem's Holy Torah , for one who keeps HaShem's Torah , is Truly a Man / Person and all people should follow HaShem's Commandments . Also , within the Letters of the Word " Bereishis , " are the Words " Borei Shtei , " which means , " And He ( HaShem ) Created Two , " which is a reference to The Two Parts to The Holy Torah , Of The Written Torah - ' She Be Michtav ' and the Oral Torah ' She Be Al Peh , " Showing that both are part of The Holy Torah , Given By HaShem To Moshe Rabbeinu . Also the Two That HaShem Made , refers to the Two first beings of Adam Ve Chavah . Also , that most Creatures on Earth have a Male and a Female and the union of both in Holiness brings us To The One Creator HaShem , for both man and woman are to work together to bring each other to Holiness , working together to lift each other up in learning and working for Holiness . HaShem Fore-Saw the Aveirah that people would do And Thus HaShem Created right at the Beginning the solution to this , in Mashiach , related to the number seven Gematrically . We see this in the first verse , which has Seven Hebrew Words in it . Also , within the first word " Bereishis , " are the words " Borei Sheis , " - " Created Shais , " where Shais was the third Son of Adam and Chavah , the first one conceived outside of the Garden of Eden Gan Eiden and as one opinion , so will Shais thus return as Mashiach , the first one who will lead us back in , At The End Of Days . The Secrets here are Endless and so are the Beautiful Sparks within each Hebrew Word Of The Holy Torah Of HaShem . With Ten Pronouncements Did HaShem Create Creation As Did HaShem Renew His Covenant On Har Sinai With His Jewish People Israel , With Ten Pronouncements . Ten , is the number of Completion and so Is Creation Complete as it is from its beginning to its end And So Are HaShem's Ten Pronouncements And All Of HaShem's Commandments And Mitzvos , The Only Way For us to reach That Completion of Creation , Listening To HaShem And Following HaShem And HaShem's Commandments Wholeheartedly with love always . We note the word " Barah , " in the first verse of Bereishis , which is like ' Borei , ' which appears in Brochas that we say over things we partake of , showing us how each time that we make a Brocha , we are Blessing HaShem's Creation , as well as the article we are Blessing , That Was Created At The Beginning Of Creation . HaShem Created all things In Six Days and this is a reference to the 6000 years of time that we are in right now till Moshiach , unless Mashiach comes early . HaShem First Said In The first verse , That He Created the Heavens ( plural for there are Seven Main Levels Of Heaven Shamayim ) and the Earth . So any article we Bless now , waited all this time to finally have it's spiritual essence return To HaShem And HaShem Knew even then , each and every bite that we will take . We must thus always Acknowledge HaShem The One And Only Creator , In All Things . We note that at first , the Earth was " Tohu Va Vohu ' - " Empty and Without Form , " For HaShem Had Not Yet Put Himself Or His Divine Presence Within it , For It Hovered Above . Being " Tohu Va Vohu " - " Empty and without Form , " shows that all was within it yet it was Empty for it had not taken form yet , showing how all of us only become fulfilled , when we fulfil our destinies that we are meant to fulfil and only then do we have our intended Holy Form . When HaShem Said " Yehi Ohr " - " Let there be Light , " HaShem Who Is All Giving , Gave too much Light And HaShem Had To Retract Some Of That Original Light , For It Was Too Holy And Bright , So That It Could Be Kept For The End Of Days And Some Of This Light Filters Down To us every Shabbos , For It Is The Light Of Eternal Shabbos . Thus All things were in the Original Darkness ( which itself was also a Creation ) showing that all was there as potential and needed to grow and release the true reality Of The Light Within From HaShem . HaShem Separated The Light and Darkness , for so must we keep a separation of positivity from negativity . So was One Day , which starts in the evening before and so do we Jews start our Hebrew Day at Maariv in the evening at the time when three stars appear in the sky . It Was On the Second Day That HaShem Created a Firmament In the midst of the Waters to separate between Water and Water . And so became Shamayim , Heaven , which has within it " Shem Mayim " - ' The Name Of HaShem In Sanctified Water . Also Shamayim , is a mixture of Eish and Mayim - Fire and Water , two usually opposing forces , But With HaShem , There Is Peace . So was the Second day . The Third Day , saw The Creation By HaShem Of Earth Dry Land and within , herb yielding seed , fruit trees yielding fruit ( for at first all trees had fruit that was edible , as was the bark and branches ) . Here , at the gathering together of things on this day , HaShem Called it " Good " unlike the Second day , for here peace and togetherness reigned , which is Good , unlike the Separation on the Second Day , Which HaShem Did Not Call Good , For Peace and not strife , togetherness and not separation , Is Good . On the Fourth Day , Did HaShem Create the luminaries , sun and moon and stars And Also some of the Angels , who were not there at the beginning , so that none could say others helped with Creation . Only HaShem Created . Only HaShem Is The Creator . On the Fifth Day were the Sea Creatures Created By HaShem and they were Given the Command to " P'ru Ur'vu " - " to be " Fruitful and Multiply . " The Sixth Day saw The Creation By HaShem of Animals and beasts and birds and like all things , Were Commanded By HaShem To stick with their own kind . To them too , were they to Be fruitful and Multiply and fill Creation . All were Instructed that only the herbage was for food . HaShem Calls this Day " Very Good " for on it , as these words refer , was the Yetzer Horah , to test man and woman so they could grow higher in holiness , overcoming their personal desires , to attain the True Holy Good . On the Seventh Day HaShem Gave The Holy Shabbos , Making It Holier over all others , the destination of Creation . HaShem Only Sent Rain To Water the Earth , Only After Man Was Created and when man prayed for it , for it is up to man to make himself worthy to Bless the Earth with Rain From HaShem . HaShem , on the sixth day , Took dust from all the World and Formed Adam and for his head , HaShem Took dust from the Holy Land . Hashem Blew Into his nostrils the soul of Life . HaShem Made a Garden in Eden And HaShem Placed the man there to the East . HaShem Gave Man ADaM ( Adam Dovid Moshiach ) The Command to work the Garden , by studying HaShem's Laws And Guarding it , from the Yetzer Horah which was the Angel Samael . HaShem Instructed him - Adam , after he Was Created with Chava at first together , that they can eat of any tree of the Garden , but or except the Tree in the Midst of the Garden , whose leaves covered the whole Garden , The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad / Evil . Joined to this Tree's root , was also the Tree of Life ( of Eternity ) , Warning them that they would bring on death into the World if they disobeyed . Adam was to name the animals and thus see that man needs a separate mate , in order to grow spiritually and so when Adam was naming the animals , Adam was made to realize that none of them was bone of his bones . The name that Adam called each animal in Hebrew ( and he also formed the names of each animal in all the 70 languages of the world ) was prophetic . As an example , the Frog in Hebrew is called ' Tzefardeah ' which means ' to fit in ', which is exactly what the frog did in Egypt when it went into the ovens and other things that the frogs fitted into , in the Plague of Frogs . HaShem Wanted people to be humble and so can we always be told that even the gnat was Created before we were . So should we always be humble . HaShem Put Adam to sleep on Mount Moriah , the site of the Temple And HaShem Separated Man and Woman And HaShem Brought Chava to Adam afterwards , where Adam said the first ever Sheva Brochas at their wedding in Gan Eiden , Where HaShem Was The First Shadchan And Deliverer Of the Bride to the Wedding Canopy and the Angels Michael and Gavriel were the witnesses . Adam was a massively tall man , whose face shone as the sun . The Angels had never seen such a beautiful Creation and some Had To Be told By HaShem not to worship him . From Adam's Floating Rib was Chava taken , so that we are to remember that man and woman must be side to and by side on equal levels , both to treat each other with mutual respect . They were both " Arum " - " Naked " but were not ashamed , for no negative desires had they taken on yet . They were also both only naked to each other , which suggested only total openness to each other as a married couple , not only physically , but also emotionally sharing their innermost being and feelings . Samael the Angel enters the snake and tries to tempt Chava . We note how the same word " Arum " is used for his " cunning , " showing that how we use things is our choice , for good or for negativity . He was cunning for he knew the " nakedness , " the Openness of their thoughts and so he knew how to and what would entice . The snake approached Chava and at first questioned her pride , getting her to state more than HaShem Commanded , for she said that neither can she eat of the Tree nor touch it . HaShem Never Commanded them not to touch it , but by her addition , she was caught , in adding more Than HaShem Commanded . A lesson to us all , not to Add to or Subtract from HaShem's Holy Torah . All Samael had to do now was push her against the Tree and she was proven wrong that they could touch the Tree . Her reaching her hand up and taking of the Fruit , was now easier an action . In Samael's close physical contact of pushing her , he spiritually raped her and a part of his negativity went into one of the children she was now carrying , Kayin and so did she hint at this when saying she had made a child with a spiritual being . She persuaded her husband Adam to also partake and so , they became ashamed , for now their Yetzer Horahs had been triggered within them . HaShem Manifested Himself In the Garden and they hid for they were ashamed at what they had done and felt different and less able to be In HaShem's Closer Presence , as one does feel when one commits an Aveirah which teaches us that Aveirahs put distance and shame between HaShem and us . When HaShem asked " Ayeka , " - " Where are you ? " HaShem Knew exactly where they were but was giving them an opportunity to own up . Also , this statement meant , Where are you now spiritually on level , for by your action , you are no longer on the same holy level - Madreiga as before . Each blamed the next and each was punished , the woman with painful childbirth , the man with hard toil , all with the fact that now they would eventually die and the snake , for Loshoning HaShem , would no longer walk upright as before , but would eat dust , just like the words he used when he slandered . They were expelled from the Garden , lest they eat from the Tree of Life and thus would sin be a forever thing and Angels with the ever turning sword , Were Put to prevent their return . Adam called his wife Chava Eve , where the name Chava is like Chiya which is a snake in Aramaic as a hidden reference to the snake , but in a language ( Aramaic ) that most of the Angels cannot speak ( except the Angel Gavriel ) , thus Adam was secretly using the name of the snake , in order to assist the woman in fighting the Yetzer Horah ( where like fights like and like cleanses like , just like the secrets of the Chok of the Parah Aduma . Her name also has within it the word " Chai " - " Life , " which refers to her being the life ancestor of all the living who come after her . The Unique One referred to in these verses is a reference to Mashiach whose spiritual essence had pre-knowledge of Worlds before . Outside the Garden , Adam and Chava's children Kayin and Hevel , who according to Rashi were born in the Garden before the expulsion , both had different outlooks . Hevel was a spiritual man , while Kayin was a physical man . Both brought offerings To HaShem and while Hevel brought of the best , Kayin brought of the " Mipri Ha Adamah " - " From the fruit of the ground , " which literally meant that he picked up the overripe and or rotten fruit that had already fallen to the ground as his offering . Hevel's offering was accepted , but Kayin's was not and Kayin became angry , which causes one's spiritual countenance to be lowered , as does anger . A fight broke out between the brothers , where Kayin tricked Hevel , asking him to divide the portion of the World he wants , between the two , either the ground , or all that is above it . Knowing that Hevel was a spiritual man , when Hevel chose all that is above ( seeing that it was only the two of them and wives born in tow , which Kayin also fought about ) Kayin then ordered Hevel off the portion that is the ground , telling Hevel that Hevel has now chosen all that is above the ground . A fight ensued and Kayin kept trying to chase Hevel off the land , till they reached a rocky precipice and Kayin wanted to throw him off . Hevel gained the upper hand and wanted to get up and walk away , when Kayin deceitfully came and slew him , hitting him with a rock on the head and Kayin tried to cover it up with earth . The Earth cried out To HaShem , refusing to settle with the murdered Hevel's blood and Kayin was forced to go to Nod as a wanderer , to be killed in the seventh generation . The descendants of Kayin are then given in this Torah Portion and his relative and descendant who was called Naamah , actually became Noach's wife . She was a righteous woman . A descendant of Kayin , Enoch is also mentioned as a city builder , which meant in this context and verse , that his generation , was the first to introduce Avodah Zorah Idol Worship to humanity . It started when people then first looked up to the heavenly bodies as marvels of HaShem and then they started to pray to them and build temples and cities around their idols that they put for these false idols . How sad . During this time , Adam had actually separated from his wife Chava for 130 years after they left the Garden , in order to try and atone for the sin committed . It was after this that Seth Shais was born . This took place when a descendant of Kayin called Lamech , who had two wives , one for childbearing and another for pleasure as it is stated , got angry with Lamech whose son was Tubal-Cain , who used to lead him by the way , for Lamech was blind and it happened once that Tubal-Cain shot and killed Kayin by mistake , thinking he was an animal , due to the sign That HaShem Put on Kayin after Kayin had committed the murder . Lamech felt very worried that he would be punished and consulted with his wives , who did not want to live with him . He demanded that they return and it was suggested that they seek advice from Adam which they did , who they had said had also separated from his wife Chava and they said that Adam should not give advice till he himself returns to his wife Chavah , which Adam did after the 130 years and so Shais was born . The descendants of Adam through Seth Shais are then given till Noach , who Found Grace In HaShem's Eyes and part of the curse against the ground was lifted in Noach's honour and so was he called Noach which means Rest and Comfort ( From HaShem's Decree Against the Earth after being cursed after Adam's and then Kayin's sin . It is interesting that Noach's Father was 777 years old when he passed away , where this number is taken today as a positive number , for the generation after Lamech was Noach , a very holy man , who brought with his morals , rest and comfort to the Earth . Adam was 930 years when he passed away , where he was due to live till 1000 , for Adam gave up 70 years for his distant descendant Dovid Ha Melech who was to die at birth ( ADaM - Adam Dovid Moshiach ( from whose line ( Dovid ) ) , Moshiach is due to come ) . Noach was 500 years when he bore three sons Shem , Cham and Yafes . Two Malachim Angels , Shamchazai and Azael , came Before HaShem requesting HaShem To Send them down so they could show how they would not become corrupt as people had become . HaShem Warned them they would not be able to control themselves , but they refused to listen and so they came down and when they were down here , they could not control their desires and so they cohabited with the daughters of men and so were born the Nephilim , the Fallen ones , of which Og ( who survived the Flood the Mabul by holding on to the outside of the Ark , where Noach had built for him a platform and little roof cover ) . Also related to these Nephilim , was Sichon . Both Sichon and Og were eventually killed by Moshe , As Told In The Holy Torah . Relatives of these Nephilim were also the Giants that the spies who came to spy out Canaan reported seeing , when the sad incident of the spies happened in Moshe's time . HaShem Saw the evil that was done and the theft And HaShem Had heartfelt pain at how they behaved and their evil ways And So Decided On the Mabul , the Flood , but Noach , a man righteous in Noach's generation , Found Grace In The Eyes Of HaShem . So ends the Parsha . HaShem Made For us all such a Beautiful Creation With So Many Special And Beautiful Things Of HaShem's Love . HaShem's Creation is filled with everything that it needs to subsist . HaShem's Creation is filled with the answer to every ailment and every question that we and all of Creation would ever need . HaShem Saw To Putting Into Creation , the answer to every Aveirah we might make , that would ever affect our World . HaShem Created this all Right At Creation . Before HaShem Created Creation , HaShem Planned Every Part Of It . Into HaShem's Plan , HaShem Wrote The Answers to all of our Needs . HaShem Looked Into This Plan And HaShem Created Creation . This Plan , Was HaShem's Holy Torah Wisdom . HaShem Wrote His Torah two thousand years Before HaShem Made Creation and as our Rabbonim tell us , HaShem Looked Into His Holy Torah And Created The World . Only HaShem Truly Owns The World . We become permitted users Of HaShem's World , when we make our Brachot and so then have permission to eat from and use What HaShem Has Made . In making our Brachot , we are actually Blessing what ever we are about to partake in or of , That Was Created By HaShem Right At The Beginning Of Bereishis and so , that article that waited so long to be of service , when we make our Brachot , we take that article's Spiritual Essence and return it on High , where our Brocha gives us permission to partake of it . To not say a Brocha before hand , is to take that Which HaShem Has Made and without HaShem's Permission and just use it and this is akin to ' Ganeivah ' - ' Stealing / Theft . ' This is seen in the very word ' Ganav / Geneivah , ' for the word ' Ganav ' has within it , the words ' Gan ' - Meaning ' Garden ' and ' Neveilah ( which is also an animal that died in the field without Kosher Shechitah and thus impure ) , ' - Meaning ' Forbidden / Evil . ' All That HaShem Makes , HaShem Put In His Garden and to take or steal anything from His Garden without His Permission via the Brocha before and afterwards ( For HaShem's Creation here bears out How HaShem Made All Things And Put them Into His Garden Gan Eiden ) , is to do Evil and take that which is forbidden , until it is Blessed . HaShem Made The Tree of Life and The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil And HaShem Gave Instructions Regarding The Tree of Knowledge . Those Instructions were not obeyed and thus what was forbidden , was taken without HaShem's Permission . HaShem Knows When something can be permitted and when it is forbidden and we are always to trust Him . The result of not listening , took us from Gan Eiden , to struggle and toil and for women to have pain in childbirth and the Yetzer Horah was activated and so did Death come into the World . If we look at things From HaShem's Point Of View , HaShem Could Just As Well Have Not Created us at all . HaShem Had Peace before we hurt HaShem . HaShem In His Totally Giving And Kind Ways , Made And Opened Up For us A Beautiful Created World , with all the things that we need . HaShem Must Have Had Such Hopes and Joy In His Giving , Even Though HaShem Knows the future , HaShem Still Gave us the benefit of the doubt And Gave With Full Love . If we look around us today at all the beautiful things That HaShem Made For us And How HaShem Filled His World , The Love That He Must Have Felt For us , Is Totally Astounding . How Sad How HaShem Must Have Really Felt , when we so disappointed Him . HaShem's Own Words Certainly Bear this out When HaShem Says In Bereishis Genesis 6 : 5 - 6 , " HaShem Saw that the wickedness of Man was great upon the Earth , and that every product of the thoughts of his heart was but evil always . And HaShem reconsidered having made Man on earth and He had heartfelt sadness . " How Very Sad For HaShem . All These Amazing Actions Of HaShem's Love In Making A World Ready For man to come And Even HaShem Making man last , as if preparing the World for man on a platter and then we come and disappoint and hurt HaShem So Deeply . All HaShem Asks Of us is To Listen To Him and not go our own way , for our own sake . Thankfully to Noach , who was one great Tzaddik , Found Grace In The Eyes Of HaShem . How this shows that even one person and his or her obedient and good moral actions To HaShem , can save Creation . We should all be that one person . HaShem Created Adam Ve Chava at first joined And HaShem Had Adam see all the animals and name them . HaShem Has Purpose In All That He Does . HaShem Knew That Adam would want the separation physically from Chava so that they could afterwards join and become one . But the need for their separation had its purpose . Rashi points out how this had to be , So That HaShem Alone Is One and Unique . There is not another like HaShem , Who Is One And Who Was Alone When He Made Creation . Thus the need for Adam and Chava to be two , is so important , For Only HaShem Is Oneness and should humans have had this Oneness , they may have tried to profess themselves deified , Chas Ve Shalom . Only HaShem Is One . Adam and Chava only noticed their physicalities as something to cover , after their Aveirah . Before that , they were not ashamed , for before their Aveirah , the Yezter Horah was not yet awakened within them . Once they sinned , then the negative desire came . Before this , even their coming together , was Purely To Serve HaShem and did not contain a part for their own personal and selfish gratification . So after the sin , their own Spiritual holy level dropped , so it is so understandable What HaShem Meant , When HaShem Came Looking For them In The Garden And Said " Ayeka " - " Where Are you ? " HaShem Knew Full Well where they were and was not asking them physically but Spiritually , where are they now in Spiritual Level , lower than they were before , as if to make them realize how disobedience leads to a need to then ask oneself after the Aveirah , where Spiritually one has lowered oneself to . Torah Laws Are There From HaShem To Help us and keep us Climbing Higher and Higher . Sadly each one named and blamed the next one and so were we sent out of Gan Eiden . The dust of Loshon Horah against HaShem that the snake spoke , resulted in him having that dust as punishment for his food . HaShem Clearly Says About Adam that " It is not good that man be alone ; I will make him a helper corresponding to him . " This is in reference to Chava , whom HaShem Refers To As an " Eizer K'negdo " literally meaning " A Helpmeet Helpmate Opposite to him . " This might be quite a blow to those males who have a high ego , For HaShem Did Not Make Man as ' the be all and end all ' of the family , But HaShem Gave equal status to the woman . The Very Fact That HaShem Calls Woman " a Helpmeet Helpmate opposite to him , " means that she has a right to contradict him when he is wrong . She is not just to be a puppet on a string for him , but to be a true help-mate , in correcting his wrongs ( of course in a respectable way ) and so , lead him Higher To Holiness . That is the most proper help - mate one can be and have , to help bring your partner Closer every day To HaShem . The same goes the other way around , so a true Spiritual Marriage , consists of the couple coming together and working together to bring each other back to Holiness and Gan Eiden . Our Rabbonim say figuratively , that it is as if she is to be a helpmate corresponding to him if he is worthy and a helpmate opposing him , if he is unworthy . May all couples find themselves worthy . HaShem Alone Made Creation And HaShem Wants us to make every part of Creation Holy . HaShem Wants us to bring Holiness Into every part of It . This can only be done if we Keep HaShem's Holy Torah . So HaShem's Creation Is A Partnership Between HaShem And us . HaShem Made All Things . HaShem Wants us to help complete Creation ( Not That HaShem Needs our help , But HaShem Loves us Enough To Give us this opportunity ) by bringing HaShem's Essence Into all things , By Keeping HaShem's Holy Torah And Commandments And Following HaShem Completely . By doing this , we Invite HaShem To Live Among us And Be Close To us , thus fulfilling HaShem's Command of making a place within us and our World , For HaShem To Dwell Within . This Creation Is HaShem's House after all . HaShem Created Creation With the word " Bereishis , " which starts and ends with a ' Bet ' and ' Tav , ' which when put together spells the word ' Bait ' - ' House . ' So Creation is like HaShem's House and it is our daily task To Invite HaShem Into every part of It , Of His House , His Bait . To do that , the middle letters in between the ' Bet ' and ' Tav ' spells the word ' Roshi , ' - ' My Head , ' the holiest part of a human being and if we Invite HaShem Into His Bait , His House , His Creation , by doing As HaShem Asks , we become One With HaShem's Mind And So Become One With HaShem's Purpose For Creation , In Following HaShem's Holy Torah , His Mind , His Rosh , His Head so to speak And HaShem's Creation Will Reach its final Holy Destination and Heaven and Earth Will Be One With HaShem , Within The Beautiful Mind Of HaShem's Oneness . May It Be Soon In our days , In Full Appreciation And Thanks Always Due , To All That HaShem Does For us all . Thank You HaShem Ever So Much For Your Creation And For All That You Have Made HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . I wish Ever Most Beloved And So Eternally Beautiful HaShem With Everlasting And Forever Deepest Love , A Most Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Most Grateful And Appreciative Love and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , a Most Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh with love .

This Shabbos is Shabbos Chol Ha Moed Succos , so we read in The Holy Torah about Succos in The Torah Portion and coming up in a few days is Simchas Torah , when we read the last portion of The Holy Torah called Parashas Vezos Haberachah which finishes the Sedras for the year and we straight away start to read HaShem's Holy Torah from the Beginning , returning to Parashas Bereishis . When Succos ends , HaShem Requests Of us To Celebrate another Yom Tov separate from Succos called Shemini Atzeres on which we Pray To HaShem For Rain . We note that throughout the Succos Festival, 70 Parim Bulls form the Korbanos and this number is representative of the 70 nations of the World , so we Jews are also praying for the nations to be forgiven and to come to HaShem . HaShem Is So Special . Seeing as we also gave our Succos Yom Tov for the sake of not only ourselves , but to also pray for the other nations and so HaShem Also Wants To Give us an extra day Yom Tov just for us so that we , who are HaShem's Special guests , can spend It In Closeness With HaShem , for we have just spent the last few weeks with Yomim Tovim Closer To HaShem and now we are finishing the last Festival for a while in the Hebrew Calendar , that being Succos And So HaShem Wants us To Stay With Him a little longer and this is one of the reasons Why HaShem Gave us Shemini Atzeres , The Holy Eighth Day Feast As Though HaShem Is Saying To The Jewish People , " Please Stay With Me one more day , " and this one more day Is HaShem's Separate Festival , not part of Succot , called Shemini Atzeret . We note that on this day Yom Tov , only one 'Par' 'Bull' is mentioned , thus representing us Jews Israel As HaShem's Close Nation , who Follows HaShem Only And Faithfully . This is very representative of Mashiach, where after the number 7 for the Seven Days of Succos , on that next number Eight that takes us into the World To Come Olam Habah , so is Shemini Atzeres ( where the Hebrew word Shemoneh means Eight ) and certainly a day to make Prayers For HaShem's Rain To Water the Earth And From HaShem , Bring the Earth Blessings . In the Beginning , HaShem Created The World , But Did Not Yet Send Rain Till Adam Asked for it to water the Earth and so , is the Blessing to Nourish the Earth , Dependent From HaShem , On our Behaviour And Obedience to HaShem . The Succos Festival is very much linked to Water and Brochas Blessings of nourishment for Creation and we used to show this on this Festival , by the Water Drawing Ceremony that was performed at this time and also the Willow Branches as a part of the Arba'a Minim Four Species of Lulav and Esrog , that we wave during Succos , for the Willow Branches often grow near a Water Source and the Willow Tree needs plenty of Water for Nourishment , just like , or representative of our Jewish People , That Survive By HaShem , if we constantly Delve Deeply into Torah , our Holy Spiritual Nourishment . Succos is a Yom Tov Festival and time where we leave our permanent dwellings and reside in the Succah , Reminiscent of The Clouds of Glory That HaShem Surrounded us With In the Wilderness . Here we have the very Way things should be , that we are to put our total Trust and Faith In HaShem To Watch Over us and so , can we dwell in our Succahs ( which is our reminder of the Clouds of Glory ) , In Total Faith Of HaShem's Care . The Clouds of Glory Were Given By HaShem In Honour of Aharon Ha Kohein and the High Priest is reminiscent of Yom Kippur and the Day of Atonement , of which is Shemini Atzeres , on which also , a single bull was mentioned as a Chatas , just like on Shemini Atzeres , which shows that Yom Kippur is linked to Shemini Atzeres , we as The Chosen people Of HaShem , spend Closeness With HaShem . During this time , as I mentioned , we finish reading Devarim , the Last Book of the Torah and start the Torah again from the Beginning of the First Book of Bereishis . In days of old , we used to complete The Torah Reading in three years , but we now complete The Torah Sedras in a year , straight away beginning anew , Just As HaShem Makes every day new For us To Help us improve ourselves . HaShem Is Creating Every Second , For If HaShem Would Stop , even for a short while , Creation would cease to be , So HaShem Creates All The Time . Torah Is Never Ending and so , each time we read The Holy Torah , new insights show themselves , For HaShem's Knowledge And Wisdom Is Far Beyond Infinite . We , during these days , complete the book of Devarim Deuteronomy and so , read the last Sedra that Moshe was Given and wrote , which as I mentioned , is called Parashas " Vezos Haberachah " - " And this is the Blessing . " In this Sedra , Moshe , before his return back To HaShem , gives his final blessing to the Tribes of Israel . Before Yaakov returned to HaShem , he too Blessed the Tribes . We note that in this Sedra of Vezos Haberacha , the words start with the Hebrew word " Vezos " - " And this ." How interesting that also when Yaakov was Blessing his sons the Tribes , we find there , in Bereishis Genesis 49:28 that there too , the word " Vezos " - " And this , " also appears . This shows , that Yaakov's Blessings are not separate from Moshe's Blessings to the Tribes , but in fact , Moshe's Blessings are actually a continuation of Yaakov's Blessings and thus are one . We also note that Moshe , when introducing The Holy Torah in Devarim 4:44 , he also uses the word " Vezos , " in the verse , which says , " Vezos HaTorah Asher Sam Moshe Lifnei Bnei Yisrael , " - " This is the Torah/Teaching that Moshe placed before the Children of Israel , " a verse that we are familiar with that we say on Shabbos in reference to The Torah . So , the Blessings of the Tribes by Yaakov and Moshe are very much interlinked , with The Torah Itself , for it is by our Closeness to The Holy Torah , that our Tribes of Israel will earn deserved Blessings . We know How HaShem Offered The Holy Torah to other nations and how they turned HaShem down and how we accepted it , saying " We will do and we will listen , " - accepting it to do , before knowing what it included and thus showing Trust In HaShem And Obedience To HaShem's Will , unlike the other nations who first wanted to know what was in It before they accept It and this is one of the things That HaShem Loves us Jews for and Keeps us in His Special Place Close To Him , for we Jews accepted It first and said we would follow and do the Laws That Are In The Torah , before we were shown It . We note in this Sedra That HaShem First Offered it to others , for it clearly says How HaShem Had Come To Sinai where we were Given The Holy Torah , after shining forth first from Seir , where It was first offered to Eisav , who did not accept It as The Holy Torah Forbids Killing And Also How HaShem Had Also First Gone To Mount Paran , where Ishmael and his people dwelt and they did not want to accept It due to the forbidding of Ganav Theft . This is all in the second verse of this Sedra of Vezos Haberacha . It was us Jews who stood at the foot of Sinai to receive HaShem's Torah That HaShem Gave With His Eternal Love . Moshe then continues to Bless the Tribes . Moshe Blesses Reuvein to live and not die , as a protection for them being one of the first at the forefront of battle to conquer the Holy Land under Yehoshua Joshua . Moshe Blessed Yehudah and its kings and even refers to Dovid Hamelech who was forced to flee from Shaul and so return safely And That HaShem Should Always Help Against his enemies . Moshe Blesses Levi for the Priesthood and to be Holy Torah Teachers to Israel . Moshe Blesses Binyamin and refers to him and his Tribe , as HaShem's Beloved , for Binyamin never committed an Aveirah and was not part of the sin against Yosef , that the other brothers perpetrated on Yosef . Moshe refers to Binyamin , As HaShem's Shechinah " Resting between his shoulders , " and this refers To HaShem's Shechinah In The Holy Temple , for the Temple would rest in Binyamin's portion . Binyamin , besides being a most holy and pure man , would also let his Father rest supporting Yaakov on his shoulders as an assist to walk and so , would Binyamin now be rewarded with having HaShem's Shechinah in the Beis Ha Mikdash , " between his ( Binyamin's Portion ) shoulders . " Moshe's Blessing to Yosef's Tribe is in reference to Yosef's purity and modesty in keeping away from Zulaicha , the wife of Potifera and also a Blessing to Yehoshua , descended from Yosef , as a Blessing for strength over other nations , especially the ones in Canaan , that would be Yehoshua's next task to , With HaShem's Help , Conquer . Moshe Blessed Zevulun and Yissaschar together for they both worked with each other , for while the one was busy with commerce to support both , it is for the purpose that the other may have time to study and so , both would get the Kavod of each other's efforts . Moshe Blessed Gad with strength for Gad was to also be in the forefront of battle for Canaan . Moshe Blessed Dan too with strength , for Dan's portion would be near the border of Israel and so Dan would need to be strong to defend Israel's border . Moshe Blessed Naphtali with favour at the Sea , for so would be Naphtali's portion in Israel near the Sea . Moshe Blessed Asher to be pleasing to his brothers , and this was also in reference to the women of the Tribe of Asher who were blessed with spiritual beauty to be wives to Kohanim Gedolim and others who build up Israel and also that members of this Tribe would " dip his feet in oil , " in reference to the olive trees in Asher's portion and the Anointing Oil of Sacred Avodah tasks by the Kohanim , who got their Oil from the Tribe of Asher From HaShem . Moshe then Blesses the borders of Israel And Praises HaShem . HaShem Then Calls Moshe And Tells Him That his time has come , To Return To HaShem . Moshe bids farewell to the Tribes and ascends the Plains of Moav To Har Nevo . HaShem Showed Moshe All The Land , The Holy Land That Is To Be Kept Holy And Pure According To HaShem And HaShem's Torah , For All Time , That HaShem Swore To Avraham And To Yitzchak And To Yaakov To Give Us Jews . The Angel of Death was not able to take Moshe's Soul And Only HaShem With A Divine Kiss Brought Moshe Back To HaShem , As The Holy Torah Says Here , " Al Pi HaShem " - " By The Mouth Of HaShem . " ( Devarim 34:5 ) . The Angels Michael , Gavriel and Zagzagael prepared Moshe And Only Then Did HaShem Take Moshe's Soul . Michael is the Angel of the Jewish people . Gavriel is the Angel of Strength that often played a role With HaShem's Help , in the growing and saving of our Jewsih people and the Angel that destroyed Sodom and Amorah , Admah and Zeboiim , and the Angel Zagzagael is the Angel that is known as The Angel of The Torah , that often taught Torah to Moshe and this Angel is one of the Highest Angels Close To HaShem , sometimes known as the Angel Metatron , that often Spoke For HaShem , even to Avraham at the Akeidah , an Angel of pure holy fire , that our holy Sages say , may have once been Enoch , who went to Heaven early , as mentioned in The Book of Bereishis and that might have been made into an Angel . HaShem's Holy Torah tells us that Moshe was buried in the land of Moav opposite Beth - Peor and his grave is no where to be found , so that no one would try and idolize him and that other nations would not be able to put up their pagan shrines near him . The place of his burial was chosen for a reason . The sin of the generation that were enticed by Moav to sin , was a very big sin and while Moshe was alive , the negative force that came about due to this sin was kept at bay while Moshe lived . Now that Moshe passed , his place of burial in this exact spot , would still stand to keep this negative entity at bay from hurting Israel . Our Rabbonim tell us That HaShem Told Moshe that he would awaken at the End of Days , to lead the generation of the Wilderness , into Israel . The Children of Israel mourned for Moshe for 30 days . Moshe passed away to the exact day he was born , to the exact hour and minute at the age of 120 . Yehoshuah found the loss of Moshe very hard And HaShem Had to Tell him To Continue With his tasks now as leader , For HaShem Told him That He too would miss Moshe as a man , for who now would pray for the forgiveness of Israel as Moshe continually did . The nation of Israel obeyed Yehoshuah and Yehoshuah , who mourned Moshe almost like a Father that Moshe was like to him and his beloved Teacher . Torah tells us that there never was and never will be another Prophet like Moshe , Whom HaShem Knew Face To Face , for Moshe had reached the 50th Gate of Wisdom and Holiness and his strength was unabated and his holiness , Gained By Holy Deeds Of Obedience To HaShem . So ends the Book of Devarim and the Five Books of holy Moses. The Holy Torah Starts And Ends With A Giving , Where HaShem Gives us Creation , as mentioned in Bereishis And Here Ends In Devarim , With All The Giving Of HaShem To Israel In HaShem Saving Israel . So must we be , every day , to start and end our day with an action of giving For HaShem . Moshe Warranted HaShem To Take Moshe's Soul Personally , for Moshe had busied himself with Yosef's coffin , while others were collecting things from the Egyptians , just before they left Egypt . Moshe , the holiest of men , Was Saved From the Nile By HaShem and so was his name Moshe , which referred to his being drawn out of the water . Here again , do we have reference to water , like I mentioned in my words before , that the Yom Tov Festival of Succos also has links to water . Moshe's holiness and beauty of spirit is unmatched by any other human being . His Love For HaShem and his people is like no other . His total selflessness is like no one else ever was . Even at the time of his passing , his only main and beloved concern , Was For HaShem and his people Israel . No man was ever like him and never will be . He lived his whole existence For HaShem and his Jewish People . He was born totally pure and circumcised and already spoke To HaShem when he was 3 months old . He never acted like a prince in Egypt , even though he could have , seeing that he was brought up by the daughter of Pharaoh , who became known as Batya ( which means daughter of HaShem ) , for she converted to Judaism . Yet Avigdor Moshe as a baby would not suckle from anyone but his own Mother Yochaved and followed closely the Teachings of his own Father Amram . Moshe never acted as a prince of Egypt , but went out to his own brothers in the brick pits and saved even those of his own who were against him . Moshe never strayed From HaShem and never would let a single sheep get lost , but cared always for each and every sheep under his care , ( as he did for every Jew ) , when he worked for Yisro who became his Father-In-Law , for we learn that once a sheep went astray and travelled far away from the flock . Moshe would not go away and just leave it and so he travelled far to reach it and when he did , he said , 'Come my little one , stray not from the others , be not alone ' and Moshe lifted it up and carried it gently and compassionately upon his shoulders , taking the burden upon himself . Said HaShem Who Saw This sight , " Such a Gentle Holy man should look after My Flock The Jewish People , for he would not even let one of them go astray and would carry them ever so gently back to Me . " Moshe's pleadings to enter the Holy Land in Parashas Va'eschanan show that within the Gematriah of this word , Moshe pleaded 515 times to enter the Holy Land . This 515 times covers each and every Jew till the year 6093 , the year of The End of Days , when Mashiach is due . We get this from the date of Moshe's passing in Adar 2488 , to which we add 515 times the amount of 7 year Sabbatical years which comes to 3605 years to which we add the number 2488 , the year of Moshe's passing and we get the year 6093 , the final year of Mashiach . Thus Moshe prayed for us till The End of Days . Even though we angered him and were partly responsible for the happening at the rock , Moshe never held any anger towards us but still cared only For HaShem and us , before he passed on . We owe Moshe so much and we did not even pray To HaShem Not To Take him , yet Moshe constantly prayed for us to be forgiven . So I will end my Parsha post , asking all of us to do as Moshe did for us constantly , to pray for his Neshoma and ask That HaShem Continually Bless him And Watch Over him And Shower him Constantly And Forever With Brochas And Sweet Love Always . For The Sake Of HaShem and Moshe , let us all make this year a year To Come Closer To HaShem And HaShem's Holy Torah and to go out of our way to Keep All The Commandments And Mitzvos Of HaShem and to live For HaShem As HaShem Wants us To Live . Let us all make this year , a year that all people will drop false wrong beliefs and that we will all study Torah And Follow Only HaShem's Torah And HaShem's Laws . We owe this To HaShem In HaShem's Creation , For It Is Because Of HaShem That All Of Creation Lives And Breathes And Exists . Let us all from now on , from this Year onwards , Do All And Everything HaShem's Way and help make this World , A Place For HaShem To Dwell Among us In HaShem's Love . Thank you beloved Moshe Rabbeinu for all you were and are and for all that you did for HaShem and us , our Jewish People . May HaShem Eternally Bless your ever beloved holy neshomele . Thank You Ever Most Beloved HaShem For You And For The Creation You Created For us all . Thank You Ever Most Beloved HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He . Wishing Most Beloved HaShem With Pure And Total Eternal And Forever Love , A Beautiful Sweet Shabbos Kodesh With Pure And Eternal Love And A Holy Sweet Beautiful Yom Tov Chag Succot Sameach With Pure And Sweet Love and to all of my fellow Jews , a Beautiful and Sweet Shabbos Kodesh and Holy Yom Tov Chag Succot Sameach with love and to all of Creation , Shabbos Peace . May Olam Habah Come Soon In our days With Beloved HaShem Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He .

This Shabbos is also Yom Kippur , when Moshe finally gained atonement for us for the Chait Ha Eigel Golden Calf , when Moshe came back down from Har Sinai on this 10th of Tishrei with the Second Luchos . This day for all time is a day where as it says in the Torah ,' Yechaper Aleichem Le Taher Etchem Mikol Chatoteichem Lifnei HaShem Tit'haru ,' - ' For on this Day , He (HaShem) shall provide atonement for you to cleanse you from all your sins before HaShem shall you be cleansed .' We see that in this verse , Atonement allows for ' Tahor , ' - ' Cleansing . ' So HaShem Does Not Expect us to be Malachim - Angels who do not do wrong . Yiddishkeit allows for the truth that a person can be Righteous And Perfect Before HaShem even though they have made mistakes . HaShem In His Infinite Mercy , Understands how strong is the Yetzer Horah And HaShem Allows us to come Before Him and really be sorry for what we have done . This is truly How HaShem Wants it to be . The word ' Kaper , ' means ' Atone or Forgiveness , ' So HaShem Did Create such a concept just in case we sin Chas Ve Shalom . HaShem Knows That we are human and thus fallible . HaShem Is More Merciful Then we can ever imagine And Has Been Patiently Waiting Since the very first Aveirah of Adam Ve Chava , for us all to finally do the right things and follow HaShem Wholeheartedly And HaShem's Torah True . HaShem Created Creation so long ago , So HaShem Has Really Been Patient And Merciful through the ages , creating the World anew every day Hoping we all finally return To Him And All Follow HaShem Only And Faithfully . HaShem Instructed In The Holy Torah About The Yom Kippur Service that we read as the Torah Portion on Yom Kippur at Shacharis in Vayikra Leviticus 16 , for on Yom Kippur Atonement is made . This very day was a day That HaShem Set For our Atonement , for it was after the Sin of the golden calf , the Chait Ha ' Eigel , that Moshe went up to HaShem ( going up all together , in total , for a period of three different occasions , for a period of 40 days each time ) and it was on his last time up there , when Moshe left to go up on the 29th of Av , that after 40 days , on the 10th of Tishrei , The Day of Yom Kippur , that Moshe finally attained for us Atonement and so , this day is set for Atonement . Preparations for The Yom Kippur Service began 7 days before for the Kohein Gadol , who would purify himself before , for the 7 days and on two of the days in between , would be sprinkled with the ashes of the Parah Aduma - The Red Heifer . Delegates would be sent to help him prepare and instruct him in all that would be necessary . On the Night of Yom Kippur , the Kohein Gadol would not sleep , but he would stay up and study and even had an attendant who would ensure that he stayed awake . During the Service throughout the day of Yom Kippur , the Kohein Gadol , would immerse himself in the spring water , five times and change his garments . When going into the Kodesh , he would remove his four garments of Gold ( as gold was used in the Chait Ha ' Eigel ) and wear only his other Garments of pure white , like the Malachim - Angels . Offerings were also done on This Holy Day and This Day is known for the lots placed on two goats , one For HaShem and the other " Azazel . " The goat for Azazel would be taken and sent with a designated person , that was to pass on within that year of doing this and this goat was to be sent off a precipice . Only then , would the Kohein Gadol continue with the Service . The Law of the he-goat to Azazel is a Chok , A Law For Which HaShem Has Given no explanation . Our Rabbonim of Blessed Memory do teach us what may be a few reasons for this . None of them are a show to bribe a negative force , on our behalf for that Day . The word " Azazel " has a few derivations . One of them being , that the word " Azazel " can be broken up into the words ' Az ' which means ' goat ' and ' Azel , ' which means ' going , ' which is exactly what this procedure was , a goat that must go into the Wilderness . Also , the word " Azazel , " can also be broken up into the words ' Aziz ' - ' Strong ' and ' el ' - ' Mighty , ' for it was to a strong and mighty cliff and rock from which the goat had to be sent off from . Some of our Rabbis also assume that it referred to a specific cliff with this name . There is a deeper meaning within this word " Azazel . " This goes back to the time of Noach . Around that time , two Malachim Angels approached HaShem and questioned the morality of human beings . They asked HaShem why He Created humans if they perform such acts of Immorality and Perversion . HaShem Told these two Angels , that it certainly is not easy to be a human being , with the pull of the Yetzer Horah and with the desires , human beings physically feel . These two Angels , asked HaShem To Send them down so that they could prove that they could do better . HaShem Warned them that it is hard to be human and that they cannot understand the pull of physicality that a human has . They insisted And HaShem Sent them down . Their names were Azael and Shemchazai ( shortened to Aza ) and when we put these two names together , one gets ' Azazel . ' These two Angels , when they did come down , realized how wrong they had been , for they were unable to contain or control themselves , with this experience of being in human bodies with human desires and appetites and so , ended up doing worse than the humans did , in sexual immorality and other sins . They could not contain themselves with human women and brought forth a whole race of Nephillim , The Fallen Ones . It was then , That HaShem Sent the Mabul , the Flood , for the depth to which man stooped , left no place for betterment . People at that time , took more than one wife , one for having children and others for their own personal pleasure . People exchanged wives and at that time , people also indulged in the horrific act of bestiality and other forbidden relationships , That HaShem Warned us against . People also at that time , arranged marriage contracts between people and animals and also allowed different species to come together , something That HaShem Strictly Forbade . No wonder this particular event , would bring on a need for such an act of atoning for the World within the connection of these two Angelic beings that both make up the name Azazel , for the sin of sexual immorality is , according to Halacha , one of the three most serious sins , the other two being Idol Worship and Murder , the three sins that a Jew is to give up his life for , rather than commit them . Vayikra Leviticus 18 is read in the Torah on Yom Kippur at Mincha which mentions the forbidden relationships . There may also be a connection with this name Azazel , to Samael , the Angel of Eisav , the Angel who tempted Chava in Gan Eiden . This Angel Samael , insisted To HaShem , that it wants to Judge the Jewish people , as all other nations get judged . HaShem , Needing to be fair , Gave Samael the permission to Judge us only on Yom Kippur , For HaShem Knew this would be a day that all Jews , even those who do not correctly Keep all The Laws HaShem Tells us to keep , that this would be a Day , that all Jews would Remember Yom Kippur and try their best and Atone . So HaShem Knew that even on this day , Samael's negative intention would hold no power over HaShem's Beloved people . Samael , wanted some form of recompense and so , a he - goat is sent for this purpose as an offering To HaShem , that Samael can think is to do with him . As I said , Samael is the Angel of our greatest enemy Eisav Amalek and Eisav was to have the place mountain called Se'ir . This name has a deep reason , for the word ' Se'ir ' means ' hair ' for Eisav was born very hairy and so , this place was an indication of his hairy hard nature , which looks to gratifying his own physical appetites and his need for hunting and eating meat , one of them being the he-goat , where a ' Se'ir , ' also means ' he-goat ' ( let us remember the goat that Eisav was to bring to his Father , the goat that Yaakov brought to his Father and the goat that was dipped in blood by Yosef's brothers , that they brought to their Father Yaakov ) . How Deeply Beautiful And Special Is HaShem's Holy Torah . Thus , the he-goat is sent off to Atone for the affects that those around us Jews attempt , to turn us away from Holy Judaism and so are we atoned . The goat , has been a representative symbol for Satanistic beliefs , for a long time and so , this characteristic , comes from Eisav and his ilk around us , that perform the most despicable atrocities throughout history . How Beautiful And Special Is HaShem HaKadosh Baruch Hu HaShem The Holy One Blessed Be He To Put All This Into The Yom Kippur Atonement Service to mercifully Give us every opportunity to Atone , even for past Aveirahs back to the times of our holy antecedents and ancestors back to Holy Biblical Days . Thank You HaShem For Your Ever Loving Kindness And Mercy And Compassion . HaShem Gives us this Special Gift Of Yom Kippur To Atone For our wrongs and Aveirahs . Thank You HaShem . This is a time to really deeply think on all that we have done wrong and wake ourselves up to our all Aveirahs and to make sure that we never wrongly commit them again . The very fact of realizing that we are wrong , is enough To Stir HaShem's Mercy and allow us Closer To HaShem . This is one of the most beautiful concepts That HaShem Made For us , The Ability to Atone And Get The Opportunity For His Forgiveness . This alone shows HaShem's Eternal Love And Mercy For us and also shows How Deeply Compassionate And Selfless Is HaShem , To Put Aside His Own Pain at our constant disobedience and unfaithfulness when we hurt Him and HaShem Rather Thinks About us . How much more so , should we do the same thing for our fellow people . This is not a time for anger . This is not a time for selfish resentment . This is a time to truly forgive , for we too are human and the same path people walk with us hoping we will forgive them , we too need to walk , hoping That HaShem Will Forgive us . This is a time to put our own needs aside for others . This is a time to be open hearted to the needs of others , being kind and loving and forgiving . Let those family grudges go . Let that anger go . Let upsets go and rather be free , for there is no freer person , than the one who forgives . Yom HaKippurim as it is called in the Torah , suggests 'plural' forgiveness which can show us that there are many sins that we have done - those that we know of and so many that we do not know of or have forgotten . None of us have attained perfection . We are all working towards it . Never think that we are fine and have nothing to atone for as there are so many things we have done without even realizing it . HaShem's Holy Torah Says , ' Mikol Chatoteichem , ' - ' From ALL YOUR SINS . ' This Shows us that this includes ALL of us and that there are MANY SINS that we ALL commit that needs Atoning . So may we use this Special Time Totally For Coming Right With HaShem And with others . Let us remember , as the verse says , that we stand ' Lifnei HaShem , ' - ' Before HaShem , ' which is such an awesome thought to behold . That HaShem Would Let us Stand Before Him , us so small and insignificant And HaShem So Almighty And All - Encompassing And Holy . As I mentioned , it was on this day that Moshe came down with the Second Luchos After HaShem Forgave us for the Chait Ha Eigel. So this day is certainly a day For Atonement And HaShem In His Mercy Gives us this opportunity To Return To Him And Make things right And Atonement To Him. Many important events happened on this Tenth of Tishrei as Rabbi Chrysler's Luach tells us . It was on this day that Avraham Avinu had his Bris and entered into the Covenant With HaShem . It was on this Tenth of Tishrei that Avraham took his beloved son Yitzchak up to the Akeidah , when Avraham was told to go and bring his son up the mountain as an offering , as a test to them both and thus it was on this day that Avraham's beloved wife Sarah passed away . It was on this day that Yitzchak , their son , after the Akeidah , entered into the Yeshiva of Shem and Eiver , on a higher spiritual plane level . It was on this day that Moshe Commanded the Building of the Mishkan . It was on this day that the Prophet Yechezkel was shown a model of the Third Beis Ha Mikdash Temple . It was on this Tenth of Tishrei that Dovid ha Melech was forgiven for his action to do with Bathsheva . It was on this day that Zechariah the Prophet and Kohein Gadol was murdered . It was on this day that Rabbi Akiva was killed by the romans and so , during the Yom Kippur service we read of the 'Asarah Harugay Malchut ' - the ' Ten Jewish Martyrs ' (including Rabbi Akiva ) who were killed by the romans in the cruelest of ways . These Ten Sages were : Rabbi Yishmael Ben Elisha the High Priest , Rabbi Shimon Ben Gamliel Hazaken , Rabbi Chanina Ben Tradyon , Rabbi Akiva , Rabbi Yehudah Ben Bava , Rabbi Chutzpit Hameturgeman , Rabbi Yeshevav Hasofer , Rabbi Elazar Ben Shamua , Rabbi Chanina Ben Chachinai and Rabbi Yehudah Ben Dama . ( Chabad site ) . It was on this day that Rabbi Achai ben Rabbo bar Avu'ho passed away. It was this day of the Tenth of Tishrei that was the Seventh day of Achashveirosh' party . It was on this day that the Brisker Rov , Rav Velvel passed away . So as we see , this is a very significant day of Holiness . The words we read at this time where ' On Rosh Ha Shanah it is written and On Yom Kippur it is sealed ' brings home the deep message and seriousness of this very Holy Day. HaShem , On This Day , Is Giving us an opportunity to atone for ourselves and turn our very destiny around . HaShem Comes Down , In Closeness , To Hear our prayers And HaShem Deeply Hopes For our Teshuvah . The word ' Teshuvah ' means 'Repentance , Return and to Answer . ' Thus we Come To HaShem With deep heartfelt Atonement and Regret and if we truly return In Repentance , Then HaShem Answers us With Forgiveness . Teshuvah Is A True Return To The Ways Of HaShem , HaShem's Way Only , with our realization That It Is Only Through HaShem's Laws , That we are to live . Atonement can only be gained by putting our own wants aside and Giving ourselves over To HaShem and truly feeling sorry for what we have done wrong . True Repentance is never just words , but must always be heartfelt with an assurance that we never commit that Aveirah again . Saying sorry for the moment and continuing with wrong behaviour is never Repentance or Regret . The whole point of correcting oneself , is to step completely away from the wrongs of before And Come To HaShem anew , Completely Doing HaShem's Will And Wish . We cannot even truly imagine The Special Gift From HaShem That HaShem's Tenth of Tishrei Yom Kippur Offers us, for it is truly the most special opportunity to put things right and change our whole destiny around and give it true , real and everlasting life and meaning . When humans wrong each other , the wronged party usually waits for the perpetrator to come and say sorry . How Different And Humble Is HaShem , for though we wrong HaShem , It Is HaShem Who comes to us To Give us the opportunity to make it right and that opportunity is all for our benefit . How Beyond Beautiful And Special Is HaShem . So If HaShem The Almighty , Can Love us enough To Come To us And Give us this beautiful opportunity to fix ourselves so that we can grow and lift ourselves Closer To HaShem and enter Shamayim , how can we not completely humble ourselves and do all that we can to Atone for our wrongs done To HaShem . So let us take this Beautiful Gift Of HaShem's Mercy and Return To HaShem And HaShem's Laws And Wants and Atone for the hurts that we caused HaShem And Finally Let HaShem Smile At us In Closeness And Love . So When we stand on Yom Kippur This Holy Shabbos , let us remember Before Whom we are Standing and totally give ourselves to HaShem The One And Only Saviour Who Can Forgive us - Hosea 13 : 4 and Hosea 11 : 9 . May we all attain Atonement and work toward bringing ourselves to not repeating past Aveiras And Coming Closer To And With HaShem . Let this also be A Time To Come Close To HaShem and leave alone and not do , That Which HaShem Has Not Commanded , Or That Which HaShem Has Commanded us Not To Do . The Holy Ideals Of Atonement Is A Return To HaShem's Closeness As we Had It In Gan Eiden . That , as I mentioned , is what the Word ' Teshuvah ' means - to ' Return , ' for that is also what Atonement is , A Teshuva A Return To Being deserving again to be In HaShem's Holiest Closeness . This is what we have all been working toward since we left Gan Eiden , to return There Where HaShem Was Closer To us . To Return there atoned and having corrected , through all these ages , the lack of disobedience that was that first Aveirah . To Return Back To The Loving Arms Of HaShem In Loving Closeness To HaShem . This Yom Kippur , may we all open ourselves up to Following A Torah Way Of Life Only As HaShem Has Commanded Of us and not be taken by other things that are not Torah , no matter how real they may look or appear . HaShem Gave us A Guide To Follow In Order To Return To Him . Let us all Come , on this Holy Day Of Shabbos And Yom Kippur And Return To HaShem With All our Love and turn away from other beliefs that try to filter in , showing themselves to be holy , but in reality are a long way away (Chas Ve Shalom) From HaShem . So as you Stand Before HaShem On This Holy Day Of Shabbos And Yom Kippur , Take This Holy And Precious Opportunity That HaShem Is Giving you And Return To HaShem The Way That HaShem Commands Of us To Do And Follow HaShem Only . Please Return To HaShem In Love . With The Utmost Deepest Love , I Wish HaShem A Holy Sweet And Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh With Eternal Love And Shanah Tovah and to all my fellow Jews and to all of Creation , A Holy Shabbos Blessed Kodesh with love and to my fellow Jews , A Meaningful Fast and G'mar Chasima Tova . May we all be Sealed For Good . Have A Sweet Holy Shabbos Kodesh .
