Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Bereisheet 5782

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is posh is voracious the question of the week is was the world created perfect so the in this week's torah portion when it speaks about the creation of the world to the end of the creation it says by we say it friday night god finished creating the heaven and the earth but then it says him god created la says to do and the commentary what do you mean last night to do means of attacking god created that we should fix things so the question is it wasn't made by hulu complete oh he's supposed to fix things so if you look at the beginning of the torah portion what does it say voracious bar elekim as a shamayim vasaris god created shamayim heavenly ideas but arets and earthly ideas in shamayim there's different different levels whatever is a higher level to a lower level is called shamayim aritz means a lower level there's always a lower level until you come to the lowest level so god me created the world from the highest levels means where god is totally revealed up to uh it's when god is totally concealed why did he do that so we know the first word in the torah portion is voracious it should say racist the beginning what means be racist in the beginning a letter base for two reasons god created the heaven and the earth one is for the torah and one is for the jewish people so that we should learn torah and by us learning terror we take the highest ideas of god and godliness and we bring it down to the lowest places of the world like we see the infinite name of hashem youth so on one hand it's the infant name of hashem on the other hand you'd keep up every one of the letters represent a different world the you and the hate above hey represents the four worlds starting from the world of that silence which is closest to god to briya yet i'll see you to the lowest world and you take each one of the four letters of god's name the yud has three letters to it goodbye dalid the hey has two letters hey hey the verb has verbal above which is three letters and the hey has two letters hey hey so you have total of ten letters so within god's name you have all the worlds plus you have 10 letters that can't respond to the 10th street road starting from down to malchus so you see that within god's name itself you have the highest world the lowest world the highest fear and the lowest sphere the same idea the goal is to bring the highest godly places down to the lowest places in the world so the answer the question was the world created perfect and the answer is no it wasn't created perfect it was created with godly spaces and is created with low plate low places low means not physically don't mean spiritually low places of challenges places of darkness places where god is not necessarily revealed but our job is to bring godliness to bring torah and especially the uh ballistic productory the secrets of torah to the lowest places in this way we complete the world by bringing god and godliness into the world thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson this week's torah lesson is dedicated to memory of bhararaq and arya labe and and joseph and rachel baslipa may their souls be elevated by our torah was studying in their memory again thanks so much for joining us in our weekly tour lesson for more information please see our website chabadswf.org have a great and blessed week shabua tov
