hi I'm dski welcome to the first par in
five uh those of you who may have
watched my podcast know that it is a
long form uh way of communicating and
it's often 45 minutes sometimes up to an
hour uh but there are people who just
want to be able to say a little idea on
the paraa so we are starting paraa in
five this is a new uh thing we're going
to be doing H if you want to join the
WhatsApp group you'll get a notice for
it if you want to join up on the email
group you can get a notice for it but
that's it this is my introduction and uh
I'm going to try to give a little five
minute idea on every parisha so that you
have something to say over the shabas
table Pas bous let's start at the very
beginning a very good place to be yeah
bous the tah begins with a
Bays I told you once it's a famous vort
the Torah begins with a bays and ends
with a line
and backwards that spells La you should
always learn the Torah with all your
heart I had a guy used to come to my
house he would say the same V over every
single time he would come so finally I
said the Tor starts with a Bas and ends
with Al larm but if you say it more than
once it's Bal Bale so uh just enough
already anyway it starts with a baz now
what is baz baz is the second letter of
the T
Thea I it says it started with B because
that's the letter of bra and that's how
we begin creating the world but you
understand that if you start the T with
Bay that means before it came an alif
there's an alif before the Bays of Bas
what does that mean that means there are
certain things that went into the
creation of the world that we don't
understand we start with the
story created the entire world
what was going on before that you know
all these kazal 2,000 years beforehand
there were six worlds before this five
worlds before this there's all kinds of
different ideas forget about it we're
starting with the Baye of basus and the
way Baye is shaped is it's completely
closed the only place to go is forward
that is the story bous the first thing
that Hashem creates is time and time
only goes forward it doesn't go
backwards I'm sorry there is no time
travel in the toyra and therefore we
begin the toy with a Baye because we are
going forward with a story and as the
story uh unfolds the events take place
and we understand what's going on we
don't understand the events as they're
unfolding not until it's over and we
look back and that's why there's a
mistake some people have that mosha got
the Torah at har trust me if he got the
Torah at Haren he would not have sent
out the morlum he would have not have
hit that rock with his stick yeah
there's a lot of things that he would
have avoided so he didn't get the tah
the ramban explains at the beginning of
braus that the entire Torah were just
letters mixed together to say names of
Hashem and as the events unfolded the
story took the form that it took so if
Adam and did not eat from the eights of
d
the tree of knowledge then it would have
told a different story if we didn't
build the agel the golden calf it would
have told a different story if the morum
didn't come back with a evil report it
would have told a different story there
were many possibilities of stories that
could have been told the one that took
place is the one that's the result of
all of our choices and uh very often
that how works with life and life is a
series of choices and those choic
result in the existence that you have
today there's a worthless game that
people play they say what if I could go
back in time to when I was five or 10 or
20 or 30 or whatever age and start my
life over again with what I know now
it's impossible you you would have just
created a alternate reality because you
wouldn't be you you are the sum total of
your decisions and the toyra as we have
it today is the sum total of our
decisions when M comes and everything
goes back the way it was supposed to be
we're GNA have different y it says how
could that be because p and and suus are
the Torah in the form that it took but
it didn't have to take that form it
could have taken a different form and so
uh this is the story of creation and so
we begin the Torah with the bays and we
are moving forward always moving forward
and so you can look back to learn from
your past mistakes hopefully you do but
all of creation is designed for one
thing and that is to move forward and so
we begin the first of our paraa in five
with barus telling us this is the
beginning and the beginning goes forward
and so too every one in our one of us in
our own lives should be all always
looking forward and taking that next
step along the road because this world
is a road is a path that's where we're
going that's our purpose is to reach a
destination
