Bereishit

Alef Kabbala group exploring a discourse on Bereishit, 17 Oct 06. This discourse "Bereishit bara Elokim 5720" (not mugah) was taught by the Lubavitcher Rebbe in 1959. It explains the word 'bara', usually translated as 'created', as the Baal Shem Tov does, meaning 'heal' and 'reveal'. Through the Jewish people fulfilling their service, by means of the Torah, the universe is healed and its inner radiance is revealed.
