The first focuses on God creating the world and concludes with the sweeping statement that all of creation was &#8220;very good&#8221;. The primary focus of the second is human beings, and it concludes with the emphatic, &#8220;it is not good for man to be alone; I will make a fitting helper (ezer kenegdo) for him&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 16px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">The message in this second aliyah is that for man to be complete, he needs a partner. The phrase &#8220;ezer kenegdo,&#8221; literally translated, means, &#8220;a helper opposing him&#8221;. Therefore, many commentators have noted that the ideal marriage is not necessarily one of agreement in all matters; a healthy marriage includes acts of questioning, criticising, examining, discussing for a common purpose.<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 16px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">Shabbat Shalom,<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">Rabbi Paul Arberman<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shabbat comes in at 6.06 pm; goes out 7.05 pm _________________________________________________________________________ This first chapter of Bereshit contains two stories of creation.
