Parashat Bereshit



Parashat Bereshit
Tishri 27, 5773 ~ October 13, 2012
by Boris Burshteyn  

Dear Members,

It always gives me joy to see our community members share thoughts of Torah with one another.  Thanks to the tireless organizing work of Joel Ackerman, we already have several years behind us of member derashot offered to the community.  The people in our shul are fascinatingly different, and approach the weekly parasha from remarkably varied perspectives and write with unique styles.  Kudos to all the mini-derash contributors!  And if you are possibly interested in giving it a shot yourself, please contact Joel at jrsackerman@earthlink.net.

You can also find some pointers & tips on writing a derash that I wrote up at:  

All of our archived member derashot can be read on the web at www.bethjacoboakland.org/minidrash.  

This week we have a special offering, a more extended manuscript of thoughts on Creation that our member Boris Burshteyn has been working on for quite some time.  I wanted to get it to you before Sukkot, so that you would have time to dive into it before we start the Torah all over again in a couple of weeks.  Enjoy!

You can find the text that Boris has written here:  

Wishing you a wonderful yom tov,
Rabbi Dardik
