And the earth was void\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the true translation, without going too deeply into linguistic details, is actually:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the beginning of the creation by G-d of the heavens and the earth \u2014 when the earth was void \u2014 G-d said, \u2018Let there be light,\u2019 and there was light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that the first creation was light \u2014 <em>ohr<\/em> in Hebrew \u2014 not the heavens and the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>La explicaci\u00f3n de Rashi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to study this further, I invite you to read the commentary of Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki), who lived in France around the year 1000.<br>He gives a very long and detailed explanation of exactly this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Question: Who Benefited from the Light?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the first creation is light. But then a question arises:<br>If light was the first creation, who was actually benefiting from it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was nobody there. There was nothing there \u2014 not even a world, just light.<br>So what is the purpose of light if there is no world and nobody to receive it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Example of the Architect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand this, our sages offer a beautiful example.<br>Imagine an architect or a builder who wants to construct a house.<br>Before he begins, he must have a clear objective in his mind \u2014 what exactly he wants to build and what the purpose of the entire process is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then he starts building. And sometimes, in order to build upward, he first digs downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might look at him and say, \u201cWait a second! You said you wanted a building that reaches high into the sky, and yet you\u2019re digging deep into the ground. What are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is simple: sometimes you must dig down in order to go higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Light as the Blueprint of Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing a builder needs is a blueprint \u2014 something that guides the entire building process.<br>That is what <em>luz<\/em> actually represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Light is the purpose of creation. G-d wants us to find this light in every single deed, every word, and every thought \u2014 in everything we do, say, and think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Hidden Light<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, this light is hidden. Sometimes we must work very hard to uncover it.<br>We have to dig deep \u2014 into ourselves and into the world \u2014 to find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the light is always there. The godly light exists in every single corner of creation and in every single one of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Purpose: To Find the Light<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why G-d created light \u2014 because it is the blueprint and the objective that guides everything throughout creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our task, our life\u2019s work \u2014 though sometimes difficult, and sometimes requiring us to break down before we can rebuild higher \u2014 is to find this divine light within creation and within ourselves.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Charla del rabino Tuvia Serber<\/strong><br><br><br>Lo anterior es una representaci\u00f3n del texto hablado convertido en texto escrito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright, todos los derechos reservados.
