We explained in a previous post that Hashem creates the world in the form of how the Yidden are learning the Torah and doing Mitzvos. Let's explain things a bit more deeply.
The first Pasuk of the Torah, בראשית ברא אלקים את השמים ואת הארץ has the exact amount of words and letters (seven and twenty-eight) as the Pasuk that precedes the giving of the Torah over to the Jewish people, וידבר אלהים את כל הדברים האלה לאמר. What is the meaning of such a parallel?
Just as the first Pasuk signifies the introduction of the creation of the world, this aforementioned Pasuk is the introduction to the giving of the Torah. Hashem created the world in the Psukim that follow Bereishis and gave over the Torah in the Psukim that follow VaYidaber Elokim. The Lubavitcher Rebbe explained that Hashem executed a recreation process when the Jews received the Torah. Now the Torah - the blueprint of the world - was being handed over to them. Thus as we learn and develop, the blueprint evolves and the world changes.
