For the Introduction and beginning of Bereishet

Perek 2 Posuk 5   “And man was not there to work the land"

The Chatam Sofer comments on gemorah succah 36 in his commentary to the gemorah entitled “comparable to a black man” states someone in Israel that works the land and busies himself with the needs of the community is equal to someone that wears tefilin. One can very easily suggest on this that Tzahal is in category of "busying oneself with the community". If the reader should be interested in what are the repercussions for someone that does not wear tefilin, they are he will not be revived with the revival of the dead.

Perek 3 Posuk 1 until 23    “And the snake was more cunning from all the field animals that G-d made.  And he said to the women in truth G-d has said do not eat from eat from all trees in the Garden of Eden?..... And G-d sent them from the Garden of Eden to work the ground that was taken from there.”
There are four characters in this story representing four different people.  G-d represents the perfect Jew that only cares about what the halacha says.  Adam  represents the typical Jew who instead of telling  G-d "because of the women you gave me" says because of the torah you gave me, I couldn’t go to Tzahal  defending the land you love so much, or because of  the wonderful job you gave me I couldn’t move to  Israel.  Eve who gave Adam the advice to eat for  selfish reasons so he would share her fate,  represents the mother or father that don’t want their  child to get injured in Tzahal without realizing  more persons are killed in car accidents than all  the wars in Israel history.   Alternatively, they do not tell their child to go to Israel since they want their child to stay near them.   The snake represents the leaders of world Jewry that very carefully neglect to tell their followers about the importance of Israel so they can have a community or organization full of followers.   It should be pointed out that the snake unlike Adam or Eve was not allowed to justify himself.   Should one find him or herself in one of the unfavourable categories G-d always allows one to correct himself or herself with repentance (teshuva).

Perek 3 Posuk 11 “And He said who told to you that you were naked?  From (HuMeeN) the tree that I commanded you not to eat from you ate from?

The gemorah says in Chullin page 139b, where do we have a hint of Haman in the Torah?  The Gemorrah gives this Posuk as a source.  Rav Meir Kahane asked on this why do we care if there is a hint of Haman in the Torah and what is the connection between Adam and the Haman?  Rav Kahane said both of them threw off what G-d really wanted and did what they wanted in the name of G-d.  G-d values his beloved garden so much the halacha is we even break the holy Shabbat just to defend grass in a border town.  See Shulchan Uruch 329:6,7.  In spite of this many persons calling themselves religious do the opposite. 

Perek 3 Posuk 21 “And G-d did for Adam and his wife skin garments”

The gemorah in Sotah page 14, states that the Torah begins with kindness since before Adam and Eve were evicted from the Garden of Eden they were given clothing by G-d.  We have seen however that this is not true.  While the Torah does start with kindness the first thing to happen in the torah is, “In the beginning G-d created” the kindness being G-d giving the Jewish people His beloved garden.

Perek 3 Posuk 23 “and Adam  was sent from the Garden of Eden”                     
There is a midrash in Yalkut Reuvani that right before meshiach all the worlds Jews will come to Israel and be given gigantic mansions.  As far as the Jews, here already, we will receive a section of Garden of Eden.  Then all the newcomers with their mansions will say we also want a share.  However, G-d will say no. The Garden of Eden is only for Jews here when it was optional.

Perek 3 Posuk 23 “and Adam was sent from the Garden of Eden”
  
Rav Nachman from Breslev says on this that the real sin of Adam was he was sent out without any complaining.  By contrast Moshe begged G-d to enter His beloved garden, Israel, even after being told no.  Moshe even then tried bargaining with G-d to enter as a corpse or even as an animal.  While it is true 2000 years ago the Jews did sins to get exiled out of G-ds beloved garden what however is the connection to us?   Do we fight to come here like Moshe or are we satisfied with a simple no like Adam was?              

Perek 4  Posuk 9 and 10.   “and G-d said to Cain  where is your brother and he said I don’t know am I my  brothers keeper?”
The main reason for torah observant Jews not to go to the army is, if not for our torah learning Israel will be conquered in a second. No one is disputing that torah learning does protect. One must ask himself however if he would come home and see someone raping their mother or burglarizing their home would they go to the police or learn another page of gemorah?   After all torah, learning does protect.   No one is saying close all the Yeshivot but as Kohelet says, "there is a time and place for everything" 


Perek 4 Posuk 12  “When you work the land she will not add her power to you. a fugitive and wonderer you will be in the land”
The reason the land was cursed was because the land ignored the blood from Cheval. The neighbourhoods in Israel where torah learning is practiced over serving in Tzahal and protecting ones brother are much more poverty stricken than other neighbourhoods.   Also throughout the exile, no Jewish community survived with the community’s residents forced to wonder.   Perhaps this is punishment for ignoring our land while the Moslems and Christians fought for theirs.

Perek 5 Posuk 22 “and Chanoch walked with G-d”

It says in the midrash Michtav Meliyahu 1, that Chanoch was a shoemaker and was such a righteous individual that he went to Gan Eden alive. There is a story about Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld that he was once contacted by a shoemaker that was so busy thinking about the best way to bring meshiach that he did second rate work.  One day this shoemaker told Rav Sonnenfeld that if Rav Sonnenfeld would pray 40 days at the Kotel during the sunrise minyan Meshiach would come.  Needless to say after the 40 day period meshiach did not come.  There is a lesson to be learned from this.  The shoemaker was so busy worrying about the world that he did not have any time to worry about what he should have worried about.  The result being he was not successful as a shoemaker or in bringing about the final redemption.  We should ask ourselves the same question.  Are we so busy going around the world telling the world about the greatness of the torah that we cannot find the time to actually fulfil what the torah values more than anything?  The reader curious for the answer is invited to check how many times the forefathers were sworn by G-d to receive His beloved garden and how many times they were promised the beloved book of G-d.  This in itself should be an indication of G-ds real values.
