The Reasons of Job's Suffering (Lech-Lecha)

Abraham's father was called Terah. Terah reported his son Abraham to authorities for iconoclastic behavior and disrespecting the gods. The king Nimrod had a philosophical debate with Abraham, as a result of which Abraham was sentenced to be burned alive. Abraham was saved by a miracle, but his brother Haran was thrown into the same furnace, and he burned. That is why the Torah said that "Haran died in the presence of his father."

Terah had to be reincarnated to correct his and his father's mistakes. He came back as Job. The hint to this in the Torah is "God appeared to Abraham in the Valley," in Hebrew, "Vayera elav Adonai Be'elonei." The first letters form Job (Iyov.)

The last words of the book of Job, "Therefore, I renounce my words and relent, for I am but dust and ashes." He means, "I relent because of that one who called himself dust and ashes – Abraham."

Abraham was told that his father already started his reincarnation. "Abraham was told that Milcah has given birth to Uz," and Uz is another name for Job, who was from the land of Uz.

Breshit - In the Beginning

The Torah starts with the letter bet, the second letter of the alphabet. Why not the first one, alef?

The Torah, as the area of knowledge, has two levels: secret and plain. The secret level speaks exclusively of theoretical and philosophical ideas. Our Torah, which starts with the letter bet, clothes the theory into practical notions concerning this world. 

The first Torah, which starts with the letter alef, is what the Righteous learn in Gan Eden, Paradise. 

Our "second" Torah, which starts with the letter bet, anticipates the last letter. The last word of the Torah is "Israel," and the last letter of the Torah is thus "L." Together with the first letter, it forms "LeV." Lev has the numerical value (Gematria) of 32, L being 30, and B being 2. These are the thirty-two paths of wisdom discussed in the mystical book of Sefer Yetzirah.
