The Torah is a book of instruction. So why does it begin with the creation of the world rather than the first mitzvah?
Rashi's opening comment connects this question to the Jewish people's claim to the land of Israel. The Rebbe takes it a step further: why did the land have to belong to other nations before becoming the Holy Land? And what does that teach us about our food, work, conversations and everyday life?
A class on Parshat Bereshit with Rabbi Aron Moss of Nefesh, Bondi Beach, based on the Rebbe's teaching in Likkutei Sichot, volume 5.er.
