Know and understand that… all is hidden in the Torah!
“הֲפָךְ בָּהּ וַהֲפָךְ בָּהּ, דְּכֹלָּא בָהּ. ובָהּ תֶּחֱזֵי, וְסִיב וּבְלֵה בַהּ, וּמִנַּהּ לָא תְזוּעַ, שֶׁאֵין לְךָ מִדָּה טוֹבָה הֵימֶנָּה”
Exodus 24:12
Any and all Mitzvot are given by HaShem to Moshe at Mount Sinai.
כָּל הַמִּצְווֹת שֶׁנִּתְּנוּ לוֹ לְמֹשֶׁה בְּסִינַי--בְּפֵרוּשָׁן נִתְּנוּ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמָר "וְאֶתְּנָה לְךָ אֶת-לֻחֹת הָאֶבֶן, וְהַתּוֹרָה וְהַמִּצְוָה" (שמות כד,יב): "תּוֹרָה", זוֹ תּוֹרָה שֶׁבִּכְתָב; וּ"מִצְוָה", זֶה פֵּרוּשָׁהּ. וְצִוָּנוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת הַתּוֹרָה, עַל פִּי הַמִּצְוָה. וּמִצְוָה זוֹ, הִיא הַנִּקְרֵאת תּוֹרָה שֶׁבְּעַל פֶּה
And HaShem said unto Moshe: 'Come up to Me into the mount and be there; and I will give the tables of stone (Written Torah), and the law (Oral Torah) and the commandment (Mitzvot), which I have written, that you shall teach them (Bnei Yisrael).
Interesting to point out the exact placement of this verse which is in 24:12
24 - is the amount of books in our Torah within the “ת.נ.ך” Tanach (Bible)
12 - is the amount of tribes the Torah was given to us by HaShem.
The Torahs are HERE… NOT IN THE Skies for the one who seek greatness!
"לֹא בַשָּׁמַיִם, הִיא . . . וְלֹא-מֵעֵבֶר לַיָּם, הִיא”
One must truly accept with all his/her heart that Beresheet “בראשית“ is the one and only world beginnings of all that in our realm and ourselves. There are many more hidden concepts in the word בראשית Beresheet. The word בראשית Beresheet also has the words “ברא שתי” (created two) alluding to the two Torahs, written and oral. There are many other words hidden in the word “בראשית” Beresheet as Shabbat, Rav (teacher), Av (parents), Brit Milah (circumcision), Sa (marriage), Eishet (woman nidah), Ish (man), Ya’ear (respect) Bat/Bar (Kids Mitzvah) and many others. The word Beresheet also means: ברא (created) “ש” (“Shin” for Shisha Mishnah Sedarim), “י” (“Yod” for Ten Commandments), and “ת” (“Taf”) for Torah. The word בראשית has 6 letters as the 6 days of creation. The first thing HaShem created was the “Cell” “תא”, which is D.N.A in Hebrew “אדוני”. As the Torah writes “בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת”. The words “בְּרֵאי ת” is 613 in gematria alluding to 613 parts in our body as each cell encompass all parts.
The Torah existed 974 generations before creation (Masechet Shabbat 88) it missing 26 to reach to the 1000. By adding (26) HaShem’s ineffable name in Hebrew “ י-ה-ו-ה " has a numerical value of 26, we’ll be at 1000 years. According to our Sages each 1000 years in human years, equals to one day in HaShem’s days. The Torah was given to Moshe 26 generations after Adam. The entire creation was created by holy Hebrew letters and words only, as HaShem uttered the Holy words “וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים” and the letters known as the Hebrew language, all was created (10 times uttered).
HaShem “ י-ה-ו-ה " has a numerical value of 26
The word G-O-D in English, G=7, O=15, D=4 - also has a numerical value of 26
The letter Alef ("א") is constructed with “י-ו-י" which has a numerical value 26
The Torah has 5 books, 304,805 Letters, 79,976 words, 5845 verses, and 54 Parashot, Each page in the Torah Scroll has 42 lines.
The first word in Genesis is בראשית, meaning in the beginning. Its numerical value is 913, which makes its small Gematria 13 (9+1+3). The numerical value of the word one (“אחד“) is 13, which referring to the 13 attributes of mercy. From this we get the hint that every beginning has in it an inherent oneness which in fact is the oneness of בראשית. The word בראשית " also means: ברא (created), and two other letters “ש” (Shin) for Shisha 6 Mishnah Sedarim, “י” (Yod) for 10 commandments, and “ת” (Taf) for Torah.
One of HaShem’s written promises of our Holy Land to Bnei-Yisrael.
“וְהָיָה כִּי-תָבוֹא אֶל-הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה; וִירִשְׁתָּהּ, וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בָּהּ”
In the book of Devarim (4:25-28) we read HaShem’s Divine promise to give us rewards and punishments along with the conditions to the land Israel, the Torah and His laws.
כִּי-תוֹלִיד בָּנִים וּבְנֵי בָנִים, וְנוֹשַׁנְתֶּם בָּאָרֶץ; וְהִשְׁחַתֶּם, וַעֲשִׂיתֶם פֶּסֶל תְּמוּנַת כֹּל, וַעֲשִׂיתֶם הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה-אֱלֹהֶיךָ, לְהַכְעִיסוֹ. כו הַעִידֹתִי בָכֶם הַיּוֹם אֶת-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת-הָאָרֶץ, כִּי-אָבֹד תֹּאבֵדוּן מַהֵר, מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ, אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם עֹבְרִים אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן שָׁמָּה לְרִשְׁתָּהּ: לֹא-תַאֲרִיכֻן יָמִים עָלֶיהָ, כִּי הִשָּׁמֵד תִּשָּׁמֵדוּן. כז וְהֵפִיץ יְהוָה אֶתְכֶם, בָּעַמִּים; וְנִשְׁאַרְתֶּם, מְתֵי מִסְפָּר, בַּגּוֹיִם, אֲשֶׁר יְנַהֵג יְהוָה אֶתְכֶם שָׁמָּה. כח וַעֲבַדְתֶּם-שָׁם אֱלֹהִים, מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָם: עֵץ וָאֶבֶן
While בני ישראל Bnei-Yisrael are occupying themselves in Torah, in HaShem and Mitzvot while thriving in the promised land, they’ll remain there. But while straying from HaShem’s ways… the land will not fully be theirs. HaShem promise that when Bnei-Yisrael will stray from His ways then “as the heaven and earth are my witnesses they will be spread among the nations in exile”. In these nations they (Bnei-Yisrael) will be in small numbers and will be ruled by man-made religions; the religion of the “wood” (meaning the cross), Christianity, and the religion of the “stone” (meaning Mecca), Islam.
Who can predict such religions thousands of years before they began? Only HaShem!!!
The word Torah by definition means instructions, alluding to the five written books and the entire nineteen books of oral Torah given to Moshe by HaShem at Mount Sinai. We and all world events are hidden and coded in our Torah.
Many events and holy leaders in our entire divine Torah are connected and sometimes are reincarnated. Several examples Noach’s Ark/flood, the Red Sea splitting, Yonah in the whale and Chony Hama’agel are all contacted (same neshamot). Noach was reincarnated as Moshe, Moshe was reincarnated from Havel and Shet. Lott and his daughters, Yehuda and Tamar, Boaz and Ruth are reincarnated and are all contacted. Havel and Kain are Moshe and Korach and Moshe and Yitro, Rivkah and Yitzchak are Ruth and Boaz and all contacted. Roth name is the name given to her after her conversion, her original name is Gilit… and many others.
The word Torah (“תורה") has a hidden code. The letter “ת" Taf is for “תורה" Torah, the word Torah has the word (“הר") “Har” (as in Mount Sinai); the letter “Hei” (“ה") that equals 5, alludes to the five books of Moshe (the “תורה”). In the “חומש" Chumash; the letter “Vov” ("ו") appears and equals 6, referring to the six books of Mishnah, which is divided into six sections called Sedarim (“סדרים”). Hence Moshe received all written and oral Torah at Mount Sinai. The word “Seder” (“סדר" - order) alludes to certain logical understanding and order of the Mishnah. The acronym to the for Mishnah is “Sh”as” “ש'ס" which in gematria is 360, alluding to its circular metaphors and ongoing teachings. A proof that the Torah existed 974 generations before creation (Shabbat 88) comes from few accession in our Torah. For example the Torah writes that Eve was Adam’s wife, meaning that the laws of Kidushin (marriage) already existed. Also Noach gathered Kosher animals, meaning that the laws of Kashrut (Kosher laws) already existed. The Brit Milah by Avraham, and others are testament to the Torah existence prior to Moshe receiving it 26 generations after Adam.
There are twenty-four books of the Holy Written Torah called Tanach (תנ"ך), the bible. The word Tanach stands for Torah “תורה”, Neviem “נביאים“ (prophets) and Ketuvim “כתובים“ (Writings). The Torah (refers to as the Chumash) consists of five books: Beresheet (“בראשית”), Exodus - Shemot (“שמות”), Leviticus - Vayikra (“ויקרא”), Numbers - Bamidbar (“במדבר”), and Deuteronomy Devarim (“דברים”).
In these five volumes, we will travel together through each weekly Parasha, gleaning from each one wisdom and insight that will fill the mind, heart and soul. They will help illuminate our path in this life for a better outcome in our next life. This journey will be as good as going through a “candy shop” of “pearls of wisdom” in Torah knowledge that will sweeten and profoundly enrich our life. Our Torah is filled with divine mysteries, prophecies and secrets that for ever will change one’s life.
Before all of Creation, there was the Torah (974 generations prior to Genesis, Beresheet (“בראשית”). It tells the story of creation, of how the Jews came to be a chosen people, of how Israel came to be our Holy Land. But much more than this, within each phrase, each word, each letter, it contains the depth of wisdom that leads to the heights of spiritual connection with our Creator and with our own soul. According to the Talmud (Shabbat 88), as it says, “That secret treasure, which has been hidden by Thee for nine hundred and seventy-four generations before the world was created.”
The Torah delivers a profound teaching which is like a Divine tune that resonates with the soul, each one perhaps to a slightly different essence. Each of us will find our own beat and level within these five volumes. Come and join me on this journey and you too will find it fascinating. The more we study and plumb the depths of Torah, the deeper is our understanding of its profound teachings. Each sentence, word and letter has a message for us, a message which illuminates our path, in our everyday lives.
As the verse says, “Etz Chaim Hie La Machazikim Bah” ("עץ חיים היא למחזקים בה"), the Torah (the tree of life) will guard the one who holds by it, and follows its instructions. They will be part of the “Tree of Life” (Gan Eden), The Torah is the power of right and life. The Zohar teaches us that if Bnei-Yisrael had kept the Torah they would never be exiled. The one who toils and hold by the Torah will have freedom from everything, even from death.
In Tehillim (100:2) it says, “Work HaShem with happiness” (“עבדו את יהוה בשמחה”); when rearranging the word “Simcha” “שמחה” (happiness) and “מחשבה" “Machshavah” (thoughts) we see the word “Chamisha” (“חמשה”), alluding to the five books of the Torah. The letter “Beit” (“ב“) which equals 2 in Gematria, alludes to both Torahs - the Written Torah and the Oral Torah Moshe received on Mount Sinai.
The twenty-four books given by HaShem to Beni-Yisrael known as the “תנך" Tanach.
“משה קיבל תורה מסיני, ומסרה ליהושע, ויהושע לזקנים, וזקנים לנביאים, ונביאים מסרוה לאנשי כנסת הגדולה”
In Beresheet 24:17 - בראשית פרק כד:
There is a beautiful hidden message within the words “הַשְׁקִינִי-נָא מְעַט-מַיִם מִכַּדֵּךְ” (Beresheet 24:17), as Eliezer (Avraham’s servant) asked Rivkah to “give him water from her pitcher”. As the word “water” is also used to describe the “Torah”, Eliezer was asking her for words of Torah as the word “Mi-Kadaich” (“מִכַּדֵּךְ”) has the word “Kad” (“כַּדֵּ”) which in numerical value equals 24, alluding to the 24 books that comprise the entire Torah (Tanach) and from.
Fact:
Seven things were created prior to our world creation (Beresheet):
Torah, Heaven, Hell, HaShem’s Throne, Beit-HaMikdash, Teshuvah, and Mashiach’s name.
