beautiful all right thank you all good to see you um okay so we're going to continue we're going to do uh this week and then one more week on parashat sheet and then we'll switch over and we'll move further along right yeah we and i want i want to just recap briefly one or two points from last week just to drag them forward into this week and build on them we said that the hazal say that the world was built say that the world was built on ten ma'am in other words parahu used the word vayomir 10 times and based on those 10 utterances the world was created when we checked the number we see as we discussed last week that there were only nine so the rabbis go back and say yeah it's nine but then it doubles back to the first pass that in this resheet period that in this resheet period who created heavens and earth and the reason for it doubling back is to wrap it all together and to teach us some very important things as they relate to how we look at the world and how we live our lives and the first one is that when akadosh baruch who uses the term vayomid it means that it's with sweetness and softness it's a mod it's not a deborah deborah and the difference we brought the distinction we brought was by the bear and the acetate which is more definitive and specific and tough and structured when the term biomer is used it's more open-ended and more inclusive and softer and it doubles back to the first pasuk to tell us that creation was structured in a way where the created did their own
