When the Torah was given 3336 years age by Gd to the Jews, Moses instituted that it be read publicly at least once a week to insure that it never be changed or forgotten (G-d forbid).
So this week marks the 3336th time that we begin reading the Torah since it was given.
The first thing we notice is that the Torah begins with how G-d created the world 5784 years ago (which can be derived by adding the generations listed later on).

Interestingly Judaism is the only religion that cares about this date; when the world was created. In fact, the Jewish New Year’s day, Rosh HaShanna commemorates the sixth day of creation (when man was made) and a check dated for this year 5784 will be honored in Israel, even in the most secular places.

But even more important, this date tells us something very essential and unique about G-d.

He created the world from nothing.

In other words, the universe and world we are living in right now with everything in it (including us) is not made from atoms, energy, or even spirit. Rather its basic building block is….nothing!

So the world is a constant miracle! In addition to G-d creating the universe long ago; He also must bring it into existence CONSTANTLY lest it revert to its basic nothingness!

That is the message of Bereshit; G-d must be constantly bringing this wonderful, miraculous, infinitely complicated world in its every detail; every mineral, plant, animal and human (me and you) from nothing to ‘something’.

This the G-d of Israel that gave the Torah.

But that is only the beginning.

The second sentence of the Torah tells us that the ‘Spirit of G-d hovered over the water’.
The Midrash explains that this ‘Spirit on the water’ is the spirit of Moshiach. (Berashes Rabba 2:4)
What has Moshiach got to do with all this? What is Moshiach? Why is he mentioned on the first day before anything was created? And What does it mean that he is above the waters?

To understand this here are two stories.

The Talmud in tractate Taanit (23b) relates that it so happened that one year there was a draught in Israel. Rain hadn’t fallen for almost a year, all the fasts and public prayers hadn’t helped, the wells were drying up, food was running out and things looked bleak.
There was no lack of holy, devoted Jews in Israel but for some reason their supplications were not answered and no one could imagine where salvation would come from.

There was one Jew that was a bit different than the others. His name was Rabbi Yona. The Talmud tells us no more than he was so exceedingly humble that even his wife and family had no idea of his spiritual achievements.
Rabbi Yona couldn’t stand the suffering of his brothers. He waited and waited for rain and when it became obvious that rain was not coming he took an empty sack and the remaining money in the house and told his wife he was going to the town to see if he could buy some grain to replenish their food supply.
His wife blessed him with good luck and he made his way toward the market.
When he was sure he wasn’t noticed he turned to the outskirts of the city then walked even farther to a desolate rocky spot far into the hills where he was certain that no one had ever been.
He found a place to lower himself in the cleft of some rocks, wrapped himself in his prayer shawl and began to pour his heart out to G-d.
After several minutes the clear blue sky turned grey, then ominously dark. Soon thunder and bolts of lightning announced the end of the heavenly decree and rain began to first drizzle and finally fall in torrents.
Rabbi Yona climbed out of his hiding place put his prayer shawl back in the sack and headed home.
On the way people were dancing in the streets, faces to heaven weeping in gratitude and soaked with blessed rain.
When he arrived home his wife too was dancing for joy at the rain. She showed him into the house, gave him a dry set of clothes and asked if he had managed to make it to the market and get some grain.
“No” he answered “Before I got to there it began to rain and I reasoned that soon there will be plenty of food for everyone at lower prices. So I came home.”
No one ever knew that he saved the entire country.

The second story is about a Tzadik called Pinchas Ben Yair.
In a certain town was a kind Jew who, in his spare time, dug wells, cisterns and irrigation ditches for those traveling or passing through the area so water would be easily accessible and travelers would never suffer from thirst.
This kind Jew had a daughter who reached the age of marriage. He found a proper match for her and the date of the wedding was set.
But then tragedy struck. The girl was crossing a river on the way to make preparations for the wedding and somehow slipped and fell into the rapids and drowned.
In fact the waters were so turbulent, deep and murky that her body was never found.
When the people in the area heard the heartbreaking story they went to the man’s home to comfort him but to no avail. The poor fellow was so beside himself with bitterness, grief and pain that he refused all consolation.
When Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair happened to pass by and see the crowd of people entering and leaving, he understood that they were comforting a mourner and he too entered. But the mourner refused him as well.
“What type of a Jew is this?” Rabbi Pinchas asked one of those present. “Is he the first person to ever be bereaved? I agree that death is awful but why is he different from every other mourner? Why is he so bitter?”
“Rabbi,” the reply was soon in coming “This man used to dig wells and provide everyone with water and now his daughter drowned in water!!”
Answered Rabbi Pinchas “What? Can it be that he honored his Creator with water and he now suffers because of water?!”
Just moments later cries of jubilation came from the city. “The girl returned!”
Some say that she grabbed onto a pole that suddenly appeared in the water, others say that an angel with the form and face of Rabbi Pinchas ben Yair saved her. (Yerushalmi D’mai 4a)

This begins to answer our questions. True G-d creates everything in the world constantly but constantly the world hides this fact. Indeed the Hebrew words for ‘world’ and ‘concealment’ are almost identical: “HaOLOM”.
That is why G-d created man.
If man purifies his motives, intellect, emotions, thought, speech and deeds like the Tzadikim in the above stories, he can actually reveal the truth: That G-d is really the Creator and the world is a constant miracle.

This is why the Torah begins with Moshiach.
Because Moshiach is the goal of all creation.

Moshiach will be a man who will teach ALL mankind to walk in the path of the Torah (Noahide commandments for the non-Jews) by convincing them that G-d is infinitely close, is creating them, listens to all prayers and provides all needs.
That is why the Moshiach is above the water.

The Torah is likened to water (Isaiah 54).
Tshuva (repentance) is likened to water (Lamentations 2), and pleasure and life are likened to water (Tanya chapt. 1).
Moshiach will, through the Torah, bring the world to repentance and fill the world with the pleasure of serving the Creator like water fills the ocean (see the very end of Rambam).

And, as Pinchas ben Yair did in the second story, Moshiach will eventually raise the dead, which is also likened to water (second blessing of the Amida prayer).

In fact, the Lubavitcher Rebbe in his last speech to the Shluchim (his thousands of representatives throughout the world) pointed out that Moshiach himself, like water, may come from the dead.
Just as rain begins as water on the ground, then evaporates to ‘spirit’ (the spirit of G-d floating on the water) and finally miraculously (as in our first story) descends to be physical once again, so will the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe return to be Moshiach. (Chaye Sarah 5752 end of paragraph 13).
This is the theme of the Torah; that man can and must purify himself and the world around him through observing the Torah, encouraging Jews and gentiles to serve the Creator through the Torah, and doing EVERYTHING possible to bring….
Moshiach NOW!!

Five possessions did the Holy Blessed One, set aside as his own in this world, and these are they: The Torah, one possession; Heaven and earth, another possession; Abraham, another possession; Israel, another possession; The Temple, another possession. 1a) The Torah is one possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written, “The Lord possessed (usually translated as ‘created’) me at the beginning of his course, at the first of His works of old” (Proverbs 8:22). 2a) Heaven and earth, another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “Thus said the Lord: The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool; Where could you build a house for Me, What place could serve as My abode? (Isaiah 66:1) And it says: “How many are the things You have made, O Lord; You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions” (Psalms 104:24). 3a) Abraham is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “He blessed him, saying, “Blessed by Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth” (Genesis 15:19). 4a) Israel is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is written: “Till Your people cross over, O Lord, Till Your people whom You have possessed” (Exodus 15:16). And it says: “As to the holy and mighty ones that are in the land, my whole desire (possession) is in them” (Psalms 16:3). 5a) The Temple is another possession. From where do we know this? Since it is said: “The sanctuary, O lord, which your hands have established” (Exodus 15:17”, And it says: “And He brought them to His holy realm, to the mountain, which His right hand had possessed” (Psalms 78:54).

 


I like to call out to all my Jewish friends:

Zechariah 8:23

 

23So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."

 

כגכֹּֽה־אָמַר֘ יְהֹוָ֣ה צְבָאוֹת֒ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֲשֶׁ֚ר יַֽחֲזִ֙יקוּ֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים מִכֹּ֖ל לְשֹׁנ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם וְֽהֶחֱזִ֡יקוּ בִּכְנַף֩ אִ֨ישׁ יְהוּדִ֜י לֵאמֹ֗ר נֵֽלְכָה֙ עִמָּכֶ֔ם כִּ֥י שָׁמַ֖עְנוּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים עִמָּכֶֽם:

ten men: from the seventy nations. This equals seven hundred for each corner. For the four corners of the tallith there will be two thousand and eight hundred.

 

עשרה אנשים: משבעים לשון הרי שבע מאות לכל כנף וכנף הרי לד' כנפי הטלית אלפים ושמונ' מאו':

That may come in fulfillment in our days:

Our souls are bearing the ‘sparks’ (divine aspects) of Messiah.
It is forbidden to pray to bow down to any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or before any image or to lift up a human being as a god…… or to put any other (god), and/or messiah, and/or any image before or instead or between HaShem and us. ('It suf')
“The redemption will come about only through the study of the Torah. And the essential redemption depends upon the study of the Kabbalah” According to: R. ELIYAHU, THE VILNA GAON (Evven Shelemah (a ‘complete, without defect stone’) 11:3)
When Yehuda and Ephraim come to unity (again) Messiah Ben Joseph 'died' and Messiah Ben David shall be revealed and anointed by the Israeli people as the Messiah-King of Israel. As YeshaYahu is teaching:
Isa 11:9 – 16 They do no evil nor destroy in all My set-apart mountain, for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of Adonai as the waters cover the sea.
Rashi: knowledge of the Lord: [lit.] to know the Lord.
10 And on that day, there shall be a Root of Yishai, standing as a banner to the people. Unto Him the nations shall seek, and His rest shall be esteem.
Rashi: as a banner for peoples: that peoples should raise a banner to gather to him.
11 And it shall be in that day that Adonai sets His hand again a second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Ashshur and from Mitsrayim, from Pathros and from Kush, from Ěylam and from Shin‛ar, from Ḥamath and from the islands of the sea.
Rashi: a second time: Just as he acquired them from Egypt, when their redemption was absolute, without subjugation, but the redemption preceding the building of the Second Temple is not counted, since they were subjugated to Cyrus.
and from the islands of the sea: the islands of the Kittim, the Romans, the descendants of Esau.
And he shall raise a banner: Perka, perche in O.F. [i.e., the verse is literally referring to the pole upon which the banner is attached.] And it shall be for a sign to gather to him and to bring the exiles of Israel to Him as a present.
12 And He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’ěl, and assemble the dispersed of Yehuḏa from the four corners of the earth.
13 And the envy of Ephrayim shall turn aside, and the adversaries of Yehuḏa be cut off. Ephrayim shall not envy Yehuḏa, and Yehuḏa not trouble Ephrayim.
Rashi: Ephraim shall not envy Judah: The Messiah, the son of David, and the Messiah, the son of Joseph, shall not envy each other.
14 But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines toward the west; together they plunder the people of the east, their hand stretching forth on Eḏom and Mo’aḇ, and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them.
Rashi: And they shall fly of one accord against the Philistines in the west: Heb. בְכָתֵף. Israel will fly and run of one accord against the Philistines who are in the west of Eretz Israel and conquer their land. [כָּתֵף, lit. a shoulder, is used in this case to denote unity. The word שֶׁכֶם, also lit. a shoulder, is used in a similar sense.] Comp. (Hoshea 6:9) “They murder on the way in unison (שֶׁכְמָה) ”; (Zeph. 3:9) “One accord (שְׁכֶם אֶחָד).” And so did Jonathan rendered it: And they shall join in one accord to smite the Philistines who are in the west.
and the children of Ammon shall obey them: As the Targum states: Will hearken to them. They will accept their commandments over them.
15 And Adonai shall put under the ban the tongue of the Sea of Mitsrayim, and He shall wave His hand over the River with the might of His Spirit, and shall strike it in the seven streams, and shall cause men to tread it in sandals.
Rashi: And… shall dry up: [lit. shall cut off] to dry it, so that the exiles of Israel will pass through it from Egypt.
over the river: The Euphrates River, for the exiles from Assyria to cross.
with the strength of His wind: Heb. בַּעְיָם. This is hapax legomenon in Scripture, and according to the context it can be interpreted as “with the strength of His wind.”
into seven streams: into seven segments, for the aforementioned seven exiles: from Assyria and from Egypt, etc. Those from the islands of the sea are not from that side.
and He shall lead: the exiles within it.
with shoes: on dry land.
16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of His people, those left from Ashshur, as it was for Yisra’ěl in the day when he came up from the land of Mitsrayim.
Rashi: And there shall be a highway: in the midst of the water for the remnant of His people.


Please Judah if a righteous gentile tries ‘to grasp your ‘tsi-sit’ and say:  
"Let me go with you, for I have heard that God is with you." Open your heart for him/her and share all our Torah. The Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu as it is written and spared and is teaches in the Tanach and all scripture of Rabbinical Judaism………

It should be most honest:
'Israeli MK proposes dividing Temple Mount between Jews and Muslims

**AMIT HALEVI'S PLAN WOULD GIVE MUSLIMS CONTROL OF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT COMPLEX, WHICH CONTAINS THE AL-AQSA MOSQUE, WHILE JEWS WOULD RECEIVE THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS.

(JUNE 8, 2023 / JNS)**
A Likud lawmaker is proposing a plan to divide Jerusalem’s Temple Mount between Muslims and Jews and to remove Jordan’s custodial status over the holy site.
Speaking to the Zman Yisrael Hebrew news site, Knesset member Amit Halevi outlined a plan whereby Muslims would control the southern end of the 37-acre complex which contains the Al-Aqsa mosque, while Jews would receive the central and northern area, where the Dome of the Rock sits.
According to Halevi, the reorganization makes sense from a religious point of view because that part of the Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism, where it is believed the First and Second Temples stood. The Foundation Stone at the center of the Dome of the Rock is where Jewish sources place the Holy of Holies.
“This is the place of the First Temple and the place of the Second Temple built by Babylonian immigrants. No one needs to examine the stones to know that it is ours,” he said.
Halevi also wants to end Israel’s agreement with the Jordanian Waqf whereby the Islamic trust controls and manages Islamic edifices on the Temple Mount.
“Why not give them status in the Dizengoff Center [a large shopping mall in Tel Aviv] as well? This is a terrible mistake. This status should be abolished. I know it’s an agreement between countries, but we have to deal with it. It requires change, even if the process will take time,” he said.
In addition, Halevi wants to give Jews the same access to the Temple Mount enjoyed by Muslims. Currently, the Waqf only allows Jews and non-Muslim tourists access to the Temple Mount via the Maghrebi Gate and only at certain hours when the gate is open.
“We will take the northern end and pray there. The entire mountain is sacred to us, and the Dome of the Rock is the place on which the Temple stood. This should be our guideline,” he said. “Israel is leading. It will be a historical, religious and national statement. If this does not happen then you are not actually the owner of the house. You are a klutz. Why are you even going in there?”

Please let we all, Jews and all their friends, take the Har HaBayit and start building the Temple and restoring her service?
