Shiur from Rabbi Elimelech Kohn Ztl on \u05e4\u05e8\u05e9\u05ea \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea.\xa0\nDiscussed:\xa0\n\n \u2022 The Netziv's introduction to Sefer Bereshis explains that Sefer Bereshis is called Sefer Hayashor and serves as the introduction to the entire Torah, teaching by example the message of Derech Eretz Kadma Latorah.\xa0\n \u2022 The observation that the Torah was willing to\xa0write the pesukim\xa0of creation in ways that can be corrupted and misconstrued to support idolatry and other ideologies in order to teach us lessons in Derech Eretz.\xa0\n \u2022 Understanding that left unchecked, the greatest danger of heresy and denial of G-D comes from personal arrogance. The Stiepler writes, the greatest levels of Yiras\xa0Shimayim\xa0are achieved through humility and we can also take this lesson from the episode of\xa0Adam when he ate from the Eitz Hadas.
