In this week's Torah portion, Beresheit, we once again begin "In the Beginning." Jewish tradition teaches that God created the world, but left the rest up to us. We learn in the Midrash Ecclesiastes Rabbah that we must not destroy this world, for if we do, there will be no one left to repair it. Our responsibility is to not just stop pollution and protect the environment, but to become partners with God to complete the task begun so many years ago.
