The Innaugural Shiur of "Pesacheinu Megadim" - Connecting the Beginning & End of Parshas Bereishis

PR okay welcome everyone to the inaugural shear and before I tell you what the title of this new s is going to be I want to give you a little bit of a taste for the operation and the theme of this particular SAR and then I'll tell you the name of it I don't want to give you the full background because that requires a complete separate share in and of itself what the basis for this um pattern is and this approach is I want to give that a full treatment but just so you should be able to appreciate what we're doing in our first year of SE braus I have to give you a little bit of background there is a claw and I told a number of people about it and they were not familiar with this that when it comes to you need may you need a conclusion similar to the way it started and when I tell most people about that they say what you need a why do you need a everybody knows you need May you need near the an idea that is similar to the in other words right before you say you need to say an idea similar to the way it ends that most people are familiar with that near Thea it has to be a similar subject to Thea but that the beginning should be similar to the end where does it say that it says in sh the beginning of a should be similar to the end well there is a in who establishes a rule that for example in the it needs to be to have that the conclusion is similar to the way it began that's the CL established by the also says he says we need every to have and if you need certainly you need that the itself should be so this is clearly annunciated by the pr by the way the says any par that was beloved to DAV he began with ashr he ended with ashr to says no it doesn't it doesn't only mean Ash it's any peric that was he always established like halah Hala so we see this is not just a rule in BR this is a rule let's say in maybe perhaps you remember perhaps you remember in our we point out begins it ends this is a CL in all Jewish literature the end has to be similar to the beginning by the way some say that why does the end like questions because it begins with questions and look no further than the says the is it begins with clothed and it ends with buried so this this is a rule in general by Jewish literature and I think we can make the following very compelling case if there's a rule by a it has to end similar to the beginning then for sure it has to be that by par in the it needs to end similar to the beginning because after all are called the rabbis always made their enactments similar to the T so I would argue a para also must end similar to the way it begins that's the theory how far this is going to take us we don't know we could only begin so in the inaugural share I want to share with you a few thoughts on sa on Paras Bas but we should have a separate share on establishing the veracity of the theory that Paras have to begin and end similarly let's begin with basus I tried this last night I think you'll agree that at least for basus we definitely have demonstrated that this uh phenomenon exists okay well now really now now before uh we start I'm going to let the cat out of the bag the name of this Shear the name of the shear is say where where where did you pull that one out of well there's a in um now I was looking for a that has some reference to beginnings and ends I couldn't find too many with an end or a beginning or bous butu I thought is a good reference to a beginning and M I'm not going to explain everything to you but put it this way MIM has a lot of good letters that work out for me okay whoever whoever could figure out at least two of the significance of the word MIM will get a French a copy of the French edition of the mystery and the Majesty okay or Spanish you could to don't say you want English I'm not offering that I'm offering the French or the Spanish Edition okay and then I realized this morning you know p is not only beginning it's also you enter a doorway you also exit so captures the beginning and end of the par and that I'm going to leave to you to figure out now I do want to say an added support to this is there's a sa called r that my friend re an France told me about of the older brother babali and he connects the first word of the paraa to the last word of the paraa so he'll connect the word bous to the Sham Hava so to me this is good news and good news why good news and good it's good news because it establishes that this is definitely an authentic principle and it's good news is because he's not doing what I want to do he's just connecting the words I don't that's not my that's not my job God gave him room to connect the words I'm going to connect the ideas that's that's the space that I need so here we go now I brought from the that the Torah begins and ends with that also gives me some wiggle room because I don't need to connect the very first p with the very last P I'm connecting the beginning to the end now you if you feel that I'm I'm above or beyond the threshold of the beginning of the end you have the right to say no no this is not an acceptable entry for but let's start as follows the third to last of God reconsidered that he made man says Rashi God switched in his mind from the attribute of Mercy to strict Justice that is mish the perfect exact opposite from the way bous begins begins Bim Rashi asks what do you mean barim but it says rash says yeah to create the world and that it couldn't last so what didem do bous begins God wanted to create the world and he reconsidered and he created and ends God would have liked to continue to run the world and he considered and he had to switch it back to then Rashi says the same words this is what was in the first it was and he had to switch and in the the end of the he had to switch it to fine so you say okay what else you got well aous begins V elim God saw the light and it was good it's a fourth okay and the fourth to last God so was bad the fourth God saw the light was good and now God has to uh reverse course so the fourth the mid saw the light that it was good even mid saw the goodness and in the end that it was bad it's an exactly perfect parallel just the opposite next the matter the God so the light was good these are the acts of the sadim oh really how does bous end bous ends these are the so it starts which is and it ends these are the next you ready no problem here we go bous bous is the beginning the start It's always important to get off to a good start It's always important to start your day in the right way the first thing you do you want to think about hasem you want to thank you want to you want to look at the muza you the beginnings always are good what is the force in this world that opposes racious what is the force of evil that opposes racious am R do you know whenever appears in the we have theah right after the end of beginning of why is racial am is counteracting R we once discussed this at length whenever amik appears in it's in the context of theah which against they take the and they're against is the first mitvah Rous yeah so when things are good it's but in the end it wasn't a good races says therefore what does God say says the Z writes the So It Begins bous the good raous and the end of the paraa why does God reverse course it's also racious a different racious now it's so the beginning of the par and the end of the par are mirror opposites R okay next what's the opening rash on Rashi says why does the tah begin that God created the world why do we need to know God created the world isn't this the book of says because in 2025 you might be you might hear on the news that I don't know people want the land of Israel they think it's theirs so the Torah begins listen God created the world he gives ER is and the world to whoever he wants nobody has absolute ownership over this world it's God worlds word it's God's world and he does with man as he pleases okay that is perfectly connected to the end of the par the same way God tells the Gentiles you don't own the land of Israel it doesn't belong to you you don't have inherent right to the land so the end of the par I'm gonna wipe out man why can't man say we you going to wipe us it's our land we own the world why can't we say um no the answer is God created the world he does with man as he pleases is okay one more thing the N Found favor in the eyes of Hashem why what did n do that he found favor we know that thear says that someone who learns T is and we know learned brings it's because he learned so the par Begins the whole world was created for the sake of the T that's called Rous the world was created for the T and therefore if you want to know why is there one man while the whole world is being destroyed there's one man who finds favor in the eyes of Hashem that's because he took advantage of the purpose of creation namely he was like and because of that he was so these are six offerings for our first week connecting the opening ofous to the end and we have a whole week to be missp that gives us good ideas for but I didn't want to give this to you Monday or Tuesday it's already after Bas this way you could go into and Bas already knowing that we've completed D and we're on our way in the next series called and on that note I wish everybody you should be that uh your whole year should be should be mtic like pre you should have sweetness and
