Description

If the Torah is supposed to teach us how to act, why does the Torah open with a whole Sefer of stories? Rashi famously asks this question and the Netivot Shalom delves into deeper layers of the answer. We explore the infinite wisdom contained within the Torah and the stories of Bereishit and how they lay out for us how to become a Jew who can truly receive the Torah and the mitzvot. (Bereishit, Bereishit: Mah Taam Patach B'Bereishit, pp. 13-15)
