"B'reishit" is the Hebrew word for "In the beginning," and it is the first word of the Torah, specifically the book of Genesis. This book describes the creation of the world, the origins of humanity, and the early stories of the Israelites. The narrative of B'reishit includes significant events such as the creation of Adam and Eve, the story of Noah and the flood, and the lives of the patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These foundational stories set the stage for the themes of faith, covenant, and the relationship between God and humanity.
