Bereshit: God, The Universe, And The Biggest Question You Could Ask



Parshat Bereshit opens with the grand story of Creation. Over six days, we watch the world come into being, culminating with humanity itself. But there's one thing the Torah doesn't explicitly tell us: why.

Humanity is told to be fruitful and multiply, to rule over the fish, the birds, and the animals, to eat from the plants of the earth. All good things! But is that really all we're here for?

Watch this video as Rabbi Fohrman uncovers how a surprising verse in Parshat Bereshit may hold the key to uncovering our true purpose.
