Bereshit (Genesis 1:1)

The Letter Bet Begins the Torah

Featured Hebrew word: Bereshit

Video lesson coming soon.

The Torah begins not with Aleph, the first letter, but with Bet. The reason will reframe how you read everything that follows.

Explanation

Bet is closed on three sides and open only to what comes after. The Torah begins with Bet to teach: do not ask what was before — focus on what comes next.

Life Application

Stop looking backwards for permission to begin. Bet always points forward.
