it's incredibly exciting to start the
Torah again and I feel like there's a
freshness in this time of year we're
starting the winter season we're getting
ready to go and ready to roll and
setting up our routine for the year and
we start with seph and we everyone knows
if there's any famous alads this one the
first day of creation Hashem made light
and darkness on the second day of
creation he made the heavens and he made
the Waters of the Earth on the third day
of creation he separated the land and
made grass and trees grow on the fourth
day he made the Stars the Sun and the
Moon on the fifth day Hashem created the
birds and the fish and on the sixth day
he obviously created all of the animals
and then he created man and on the
seventh day he created Shabbat that's
how Aliyah but in this Aliyah there's an
incredible lesson of how life is meant
to be lived Hashem says the words when
he's about to create man
let us make man and asash she famously
says that what Hashem did is he went to
get advice from the Angels even though
obviously the Angels he didn't need
their advice he went to get the advice
of the angels and Hashem says it teaches
us something that even though
this there's a place right here for
someone to create some heresy some think
that Hashem needed the help of the
Angels Hashem doesn't care the Torah
wants to teach us that
that you seek the advice of others I
have a huge question you're you're
that's what a crazy risk if we're going
to teach about the fact that someone
should be humble and seek the advice of
others others put it in some lesson
somewhere in the middle of the Torah why
do I have to put it right here when it's
going to imply that Hashem needs help
and it's going to create almost a place
for a why would Hashem take that risk
the answer is Hashem wants us to learn
that lesson and he needs us to learn the
lesson now at this spot because he needs
us to understand that in our creation we
need to have the proper mid at the
proper attitude literally from when
we're born when Man was created hasem
said I'm going to infuse you with the
the humility that sets up your whole
life so I could teach you some lesson of
humility in the middle
of but it wouldn't do the trick Hashem
wants us to learn it here as we're
created to make us understand that in
order to live live life the way it's
intended to be lived the way you were
created to live you need to be
