Why does the Torah begin with the letter beit, the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet? This title attempts to answer this question. It gathers material drawing from the Oral Law (Mishnah and Talmud), the Midrash, anonymous kabbalistic texts, and the works of many prominent rabbis, scribes, and writers spanning over 2,000 years.
