Part 2: Lesson on the topic of “Parashat Beresheet (Genesis)”

Reader: We are reading selected excerpts from the sources on the topic of the portion of Beresheet, Genesis. We continue from our selected excerpts starting with excerpt number 42. You can find all the study material in kabbalahgroup.info and in the Arvut system. So, from selected excerpts on the topic of the portion of Beresheet, we are in item number 42, Male and Female, He Created Them. That's the heading, 42.

Reading: (00:43) 42. Genesis 1:27

So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

M. Laitman: Okay, it seems as if there's not really much here to add. Everyone understands in an earthly manner what that is. Yes?

Reading: (01:17) 43. RABASH, Letter No. 54

Each birth can be only by male and female. It is so because the male is the power of bestowal in a person, and the female is the power of reception in a person, meaning one’s wish to delight himself, where his only concern is his own pleasure. Through these two forces, we have the work of choice—to choose the good, meaning for the Creator, and loathe the bad, which is to satisfy his lusts.

M. Laitman: Questions? Okay, next.

Reading: (02:31) 44. Zohar for All, Beresheet [Genesis s 2], "He Created Them Male and Female"

“He created them male and female.” This means that any form in which there are no male and female is not a high form as it should be.

Wherever you do not find a male and a female together, the Creator does not make His abode there. There are blessings only in a place where there are male and female, as it is written, “And He blessed them and called their name ‘man’ on the day when they were created.” It is not written, “And He blessed him and called his name ‘man,’” teaching you that he is not called even by the name “man” unless a male and a female are together.

M. Laitman: Yes. I don't see questions.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (03:40) It says blessings are only where there are male and female together. What does that mean?

M. Laitman: That we need a complete vessel, male and female. And then, if a blessing comes from the Creator to advance them, so it comes upon the two of them together.

Student: What is male, what is female?

M. Laitman: Two forces, opposite, different. And when they decide to connect, then it causes them to grow.

Student: What does it mean, decide to connect?

M. Laitman: That they want to connect. Then the Creator, already relates differently to them. Meaning, they reached their development, they reached a desire to bestow, a desire to grow in their development.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (05:16) It says that He created them in His image, in His likeness. But what is likeness? If the force of bestowal created the force of reception, He created the opposite likeness.

M. Laitman: We need to see, to enter into the portion and see what he means by that.

Student: Is the intention here that the likeness is already a corrected state of the created being?

M. Laitman: I don't know, I don't think so.

Reading: (06:16) 45. Zohar for All, Beresheet [Genesis], "Let the Earth Put Forth Grass", No. 82

A man is male and female, and only they are called “man.” Malchut in and of herself, when she is not in a Zivug with ZA, is not called “man,” since she is without a male. Only when she mates with ZA are both of them called “man,” as it is written, “He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam [man], on the day when they were created.” Thus, both together are called “man,” but each one for himself is like half a body, and he is not called “man.”

Reading: (07:24) 46. RABASH, Assorted Notes. Article No. 401, "Hear, O Israel"

One always enters through two doors: mercy and fear.”

We can explain this in the above manner. The “right hand side” door is faith above reason, when he is complete. This is private Providence, and it is “for he desires mercy.” The other door is fear, meaning Gevura, “left.” On this door we must give labor and prayer. This is called “man,” since he has two discernments, male and female, complete and lacking, and then his work is considered whole.

Reader: (08:30) We'll go to our next part, our social time.
