[Music] created heaven and earth the torah is not a history book rather a directive to man a directive to man shall begin with the mitzvahs of the world instead of beginning with the creation so why then did it begin with the creation to be able to give an answer to those nations that will ask why have the jews thrown us out of our land now rather willingly hashem gave it to them till the time would be for us to take it now the question begs do the nations don't believe in the torah what is it going to help them the answer is it's not really there for them it's for us not to be influenced by their questions because we know what it says the ramban says the question really is let us begin with a very clear part of the terror mitzvos instead of starting with creation so why then have we begun with creation the simplest meaning is to be able to answer to the world why this is for us but in the deeper meanings there's much more kabbalistic reasonings to every part of creation without further ado let's begin day number one hashem created heaven the earth light and darkness day number two the sky in the atmosphere day number three he split the land from the sea thus sprouting grass and trees day four the sun the moon the stars and the masalas day number five birds fish and all oceanic life their number six the climates of physical creation first animals then man and then what we know as the partnership between husband and wife on day number seven shavasvahi nafash hashem rested from creation keeping shabbos is a testament to creation in shabbos morning esther we say hashem did not give the nations of the world the laws of shabbos and as well the gambino and to be able to be able to rest on shabbos hashem did not give them a part as well because that physical manifestation of creation of rest was only for us [Music] you
