Parashat Bereshit
October 18, 2025
Bereishit (“In the Beginning”), the first parashah in the annual Torah reading cycle, begins with God’s creation of the world. The first people, Adam and Eve, eat from the Tree of Knowledge and are banished from the Garden of Eden. Their elder son, Cain, kills their younger son, Abel, and Cain is destined to a life of wandering.
Torah: Genesis 1:1-6:8
Haftarah: Isaiah 42:5-43:10
Haftarah for Sephardim: Isaiah 42:5-21
