Shabbat
Bereishit, as the last Shabbat of the month of Tishrei, is the intermediary
between the holy Tishrei month of the High Holidays and the rest
of the year. It is when we read the beginning of the coming year's
cycle of Torah reading with the first Torah portion, Bereishit,
which speaks about the creation of the world, because each of us
is in a completely new world with new strengths and increased potential.
