Dear Friend»
Over 175 years ago, in his commentary of the Torah, the first Satmar Rebbe, Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, translated a powerful phrase from Hebrew, that is in this weeks Torah portion that deals with creation: “WE shall make man.” Interestingly, he noted that the Torah did not say ‘G-d’ - or ‘He’ – shall make man. Instead, as Rabbi Teitelbaum
pointed out, the literal translation is ‘WE’ shall make man. Of course, there was no typo in the Torah that day. Rabbi Teitelbaum was referencing the power we all have to bind together to shape, guide, instruct, encourage, and love the people that grow into the members of our society.
The phrase “It takes a village to raise a child” gained much attention and popularity when Hillary Rodham Clinton published her book, “It takes a Village.” This phrase was attributed to an African proverb, but Mrs. Clinton did not realize that the first source for this statement is the Grand Rabbi of Satmar, Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum. This
concept is not new to our society because it is universal, timeless and true. Let us – the mother, father, teacher, school, volunteer, and community leader - let's all bind together to create man. Let us be figuratively – and in the case of LifeTown, literally – the village that gives every child the tools they need to transition into adulthood.
As we begin studying the new cycle of Torah, this message can help our village raise many needy children who need the tender help of so many.

JOURNEY OF THE SOUL -
AN EXPLORATION OF LIFE, DEATH, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND
A fascinating new six-session course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute
|
|
What is a soul? Where does it go after it departs this world? Do Jews believe in heaven and hell? Can souls communicate with us from the afterlife? How does reincarnation work?
Journey of the Soul explores the mysteries surrounding the spiritual dimension of our existence—our destiny that continues even after we’ve shed our earth-bound body suit.
We examine the transition of the soul into the hereafter, the kinds of legacies that are valued even after we’ve forsaken this earthly existence, and the accompanying emotional journey and rituals that help the soul and those closest to it prepare for its new reality.

Parshat Bereishit
G‑d creates the world in six days. On the first day He makes
darkness and
light. On the second day He forms the
heavens, dividing the “upper waters” from the “lower waters.” On the third day He sets the boundaries of
land and sea, and calls forth trees and greenery from the earth. On the fourth day He fixes the position of the
sun, moon and stars as timekeepers and illuminators of the earth. Fish, birds and reptiles are created on the fifth day; land animals, and then the
human being, on the sixth. G‑d ceases work on the seventh day, and sanctifies it as a day of
rest.
G‑d forms the human body from the dust of the earth, and blows into his nostrils a “
living soul.” Originally Man is a single person, but deciding that “it is not good that man be alone,” G‑d takes a "side" from the man, forms it into a woman, and
marries them to each other.
Adam and Eve are placed in the Garden of Eden, and commanded not to eat from the “
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.” The serpent persuades Eve to violate the command, and she shares the forbidden fruit with her husband. Because of their
sin, it is decreed that man will experience death, returning to the soil from which he was formed, and that all gain will come only through
struggle and hardship. Man is banished from the Garden.
Eve
gives birth to two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain quarrels with Abel and murders him, and becomes a
rootless wanderer. A third son, Seth, is born to Adam; Seth’s eighth-generation descendant, Noah, is the only righteous man in a corrupt world.

Shabbat Bereishit
The Peasants’ Journey
G‑d created many spiritual worlds
filled with angels, who have a sophisticated understanding of spirituality. Beneath these spiritual worlds is the physical world, where we human beings exist. We have almost no awareness of G‑dliness at all, but we sustain all of the spiritual worlds with our mitzvahs. |
