Citação sobre Gênesis 1

In a beginning created God etc - see the explanation of Rashi "in a beginning - due to Israel that are called beginning, and due to Torah that is called beginning" and the midrash, too, has "due to the mitzvah of first fruits, that are called beginning" (Rashi on Genesis 1:1). And one could say that all those opinions have the same intention, that one opinion says this, the other opinion says that, and they do not dispute.

And thus Elohim created the great whales, and every living creature that creeps, with which the waters teem, of its kind, and every winged bird of its kind; and Elohim saw that it was good.

In a beginning, created - And the explanation of Rashi, may his memory be for blessing: "due to Torah that is called 'beginning' and due to Israel etc" (Rashi on Genesis 1:1). And it seems that we should explain Rashi, may his memory be for blessing, that since these things are to expose the Unity of the Holy Blessed Name that God is unique in God's marvels and being the True Creator, that this is the sign and the proof of God's people Israel, the righteous, that the light of their minds and hearts is immense in its levels and good personal characteristics with no limits, that our eyes see [Israel's] level is higher than all of the other nations, and the holy Torah that the good God, in God's mercy, gave to them... those two [Israel and Torah] will testify and justify on most of God's wonders and marvels, that God created the world by Godself, with no help and no aid, through what they say "three testify on each other's behalf, the Holy One of Blessing, Torah and Israel." And this is "Hear Israel Hashem" - "Hear" hints to Torah, since "Hear" is Torah that we heard from the mouth of the Blessed One, and "Israel" are testifying about Hashem that God is the Maker and the Creator, and to that since Rashi also in his commentary "due to Torah and due to Israel" is saying that those two are proof regarding 'Beginning'/creation. And this is easy to understand.
