Parashat Bereshit 5785 / פָּרָשַׁת בְּרֵאשִׁית
26 October 2024 / 24 Tishrei 5785
Parashat Bereshit is the 1st weekly Torah portion in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.
Torah Portion: Genesis 1:1-6:8
Bereishit (“In the Beginning”), the first parashah in the annual Torah reading cycle, begins with God’s creation of the world. The first people, Adam and Eve, eat from the Tree of Knowledge and are banished from the Garden of Eden. Their elder son, Cain, kills their younger son, Abel, and Cain is destined to a life of wandering. [1]
Because of the re-scheduled Board meeting on the 25th, and the subsequent Jewish holidays which occupy Thursday evenings until November, this coming Thursday will probably be the last class for a while. (Though we could also hold a class on the Thursday before Yom Kippur, October 10, if enough people thought that was an OK date).
This Thursday, I doubt that we will finish the selections. Our plan is nevertheless, near the end of this Thursday’s class, to skip to the last chapter, Chapter 31, so we can at least briefly discuss one of the best-known passages in Proverbs, the so-called “Woman of Valor” (Eshet Chayil).
We plan to end class this Thursday by deciding whether to go back to study more of Proverbs when we next meet (in November), or whether instead we should devote our next meeting to “What shall we study next?” Please join us and weigh in on this question!
