At the outset, God created heaven and earth. Now the earth was empty desolation, and darkness upon the deep; yet the spirit of God hovered over the waters. Then God said: "Let there be light." Light came into being. And He saw how good the light was, and parted light from darkness. God called the light, "Day;" and the darkness He called, "Night." Evening came; then morning came: one day.

God said: "Let a clear dome be amid the waters, parting water from water." And He formed the dome, parting waters beneath it from waters above it - and it was so. Then God called that dome, "Sky." Evening came; then morning came: a second day.

Commentary of the universe from mystery, magic and myth. All ancient religions had creation myths to explain why the world is as it is. Always they involved a multiplicity of gods, fighting and struggling among themselves for dominance. The opening chapter of the Torah represents a decisive break from that entire mindset. There is only one God, and it is His creative will alone that made the universe as it is. As sociologist Max Weber pointed out, the roots of Western rationality lie here.
Commentary However, the point of Genesis 1 is not to tell us how the world came into being. It is neither science nor proto-science. We see this in the sheer brevity of the account, a mere thirty-four verses, less than a tenth of the space the Torah dedicates to the other creative act it describes, namely the Israelites' construction of the Sanctuary (Ex. 25-40). The Torah is telling us not
Commentary TORAH READING FOR HATAN BERESHIT This act of beginning the Torah reading anew exemplifies one of the most remarkable principles of Judaism: the idea of perpetual study.
Commentary In this unique point of the Jewish year, we make the transition from the end of the Torah to a new beginning. The last letter of the Torah is the lamed of Yisrael, the first is the beit of Bereshit. When we join the end of the Torah to the beginning, the connection spells the word Lev, "heart." So long as the Jewish people never stops studying, the Jewish heart will never stop beating. "You gave us a Torah of truth, thereby planting everlasting life in our midst," says the blessing after the reading of the Torah. The word of the Eternal is, this side of Heaven, our one taste of eternity.
Commentary IN THE BEGINNING This majestic opening sets out, for the first time, principles that were not only to shape Judaism, but eventually also to transform the imagination of the West. Genesis 1 represents the emancipation of the human understanding
