Everything Depends on the Beginning of the Day

ּבְרֵאׁשִית ּבָרָא וגו' אֵת הַּשָמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ (א, א)

In the beginning, Hashem created Heaven and earth. (1:1)

Everything Depends on the Beginning of the Day:

Rav Henoch of Alexander zy”a (Sefer Chashbah L’Tova) explains the pasuk of “Bereishis bara Elokim es hashamayim v’es ha’aretz” as follows:

“Bereishis”, at the beginning of the day, in the morning, one should contemplate how “Hashem created Heaven and earth”, and he should work on his emunah. Once one does this, the earth will be “tohu vavohu” (empty and barren), meaning that he will not be impressed by the desires of this world at all.
