Bereshit
Here we go againTurning to the beginningJust like Bag Bag said
Pirke Avot 5:22Ben Bag Bag used to say, "Turn it, and turn it, for everything is in it. Reflect on it and grow old and gray with it. Don't turn from it, for nothing is better than it."Of course, Ben Bag Bag meant more than just turning back to the beginning after reading the final verses of Torah - which is what we did on Simchat Torah. This Shabbat we start another year of studying, of turning, of growing (not just growing old and gray) with Torah. There will always be new things to be found, new things to learn, and new things to reflect upon.Here's wishing everyone another wonderful year of studying Torah.Image by michel D'anastasio via Flickr
