Most people, even Gentiles, are familiar with the opening sentence of the Torah: “IN THE BEGINNING G-D CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH”

But at first glance it has no practical importance.

What do we care how the world got created. or if it was created at all? In any case it happened thousands (maybe millions!) of years ago! Why can't the Torah just be like the other religions and say that G-d rewards and punishes whoever doesn't follow the rules? Who cares how the world got here?

But the teachings of Chassidut and Kabala reveal several vital messages here.

First of all, the Torah is telling us what the world is made of: that the basic element of creation is neither atoms nor quarks of energy or even spirit... all these are themselves creations.

London, England - A Buckhurst Hill Rabbi has been touring the area in his Sukkah Mobile to bring home the message of a Jewish festival.

This week the Jewish community has been celebrating the festival of Tabernacles, which commemorates the Jewish Exodus from Egypt.

The exiled Jews built huts in the desert and Jewish people all over the world build their own replica huts to remember the occasion.

Because not all Jewish people are able to build their own huts Rabbi Odom Brandman, of the Chabad centre, Russell Road, has been touring schools and Jewish families in the area with his Sukkah Mobile - a hut on the back of a pick-up truck.
