Parashat Bereshit, or Genesis, is dedicated to the Sefaria Pioneers, Sefaria's earliest champions whose immense generosity was essential to the genesis of Sefaria and the digital future of Torah.
Bereshit ("In the Beginning”) is the first parashah in the annual Torah reading cycle, which restarts at the beginning of the book of Genesis. The reading begins with God’s creation of the world. The first people, Adam and Eve, eat from the Tree of Knowledge and are then banished from the Garden of Eden. Their elder son, Cain, kills their younger son, Abel, and Cain is destined to a life of wandering.
"Creation Of the World" by Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, 1905, ilustrating Gensis 1:6: "God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the water, that it may separate water from water.”"
