In the beginning, God

In the beginning,  God created the heaven  and the earth. GENESIS (1:1) בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱ-לֹהִים  אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ בְּרֵאשִׁית א:א be-ray-SHEET ba-RA eh-loe-HEEM et ha-sha-ma-YEEM ve-ET ha-ah-RETZ

Today’s Israel Inspiration The holy Bible begins with the letter ב/bet (In the Beginning/בראשית) and ends with the letter ל/lamed. Put the letters together and you get lev/לב, which means ‘heart.’ The Torah is the heart of the Jewish people and is an expression of God's love towards all of mankind. By studying it we can access the ‘heart’ of God. Join Israel365 in studying the Book of Genesis in our new Bible Book Club!
