The Torah is divided into '''54 weekly portion'''s, called ''Parshiyos'' (singular: ''Parsha''). Each week, Jews read and study one Parsha, completing the entire Torah annually. '''Parshas Bereshis''' is the very first weekly Torah portion. It begins the cycle anew each year, immediately after the holiday of Simchas Torah.

'''The name of the Parshah, "Bereishit," means "In the beginning" and it is found in Genesis 1:1.'''

'''G‑d''' '''creates''' the world in '''six days'''. On the first day He makes darkness and '''light'''. On the second day He forms the heavens, dividing the “upper waters” from the “lower waters.” On the third day He sets the boundaries of land and sea, and calls forth trees and greenery from the earth. On the fourth day He fixes the position of the sun, moon and stars as timekeepers and illuminators of the earth. Fish, birds and reptiles are created on the fifth day; land animals, and then the human being, on the sixth. G‑d '''ceases work''' on the seventh day, and '''sanctifies it as a day of rest'''.

G‑d forms the human body from the dust of the earth, and '''blows into his nostrils''' a “living '''soul'''.” Originally Man is a single person, but deciding that “'''it is not good that man be alone''',” G‑d takes a "side" from the man, forms it into a woman, and '''marries''' them to each other.

'''Adam and Eve''' are placed in the '''Garden of Eden''', and commanded not to eat from the “'''Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil'''.” The serpent persuades Eve to violate the command, and she shares the forbidden fruit with her husband. Because of their '''sin''', it is decreed that man will experience '''death''', returning to the soil from which he was formed, and that all gain will come only through struggle and hardship. '''Man is banished from the Garden'''.

Eve gives birth to '''two sons, Cain and Abel'''. Cain quarrels with Abel '''and murders him''', and becomes a rootless wanderer. A third son, Seth, is born to Adam; Seth’s eighth-generation descendant, '''Noah''', is '''the only righteous man''' in a corrupt world.
