Bere'shiyth – Hebrew for “in the beginning,” the first word in the parashat is the first weekly Torah portion in the annual cycle of Torah reading. The portion covers Genesis 1:1–6:8. YHVH creates the world, and Adam and Eve. They eat fruit that Yah had forbidden them, and Yah expels them from the Garden of Eden. One of their sons, Cain, becomes the first murderer, killing his brother Abel out of jealousy. Adam and Eve, are cast out of paradise to East of Eden. Adam and Eve have other children, whose descendants populate the Earth, but each generation becomes more and more degenerate until Yah, despairing, decides to destroy humanity. Only one man, Noah, finds Yah's favor.
