welcome back i guess we should sing from the uh break after rosh hashanah yom kippur and we're starting once again with the words of pierce the ethics and the advice and the insights of our sages the chapters of our sages in which they teach us the way in which to look at this world that is around us and to become a very valuable part of the creation and the ultimate plan that hashem had to begin with that hashem had to begin with perhaps it's only apropos that as we just began say for gracious the first of the five books of moshe that we speak a little bit about the creation of the world because it's a fascinating endeavor it has a lot for us to think about and to see how we in fact ourselves relate to this tremendous creation so if anyone is looking inside over here we are in pierce in chapter 5 in the first mishnah in chapter 5 in the first mishnah and it says the following the world was created with 10 statements that hashem made ten times hashem said let there be light let there be this let there be that let there be this hashem said these statements ten times in order to create the world simple fact says the mishnah what is the torah coming to teach us hashem is omniscient he's omnipotent he's all-powerful he's all-knowing can create the world any single way that he wants if he wants to create it with mimer with one statement and just say let the world come into existence then the world would have come into existence why is it then that hashem who wastes no time who does nothing extra
