EPISODE · Jan 6, 2024 · 40 MIN
A Map of Sincerity and Its Opposite
from Beth El of Manhattan, Two-Testament Synagogue · host Rabbi Bruce L. Cohen
The end of Genesis and beginning of Exodus are valuable reading if it is truth we seek, not "life-hacks" guaranteeing a safe, easy, or profit-laden life. God's own project hits more bumps in the road and impacts with more human frailty and more evil than we could possibly have imagined: and this is God's own project! May He help us to gain understanding from the time when His promised "nation," after 3 generations, was still only 70 people in number, many of whom were highly dysfunctional people – and a famine forced them to leave The Land that God Himself had promised was "yours and your descendants after you, forever."
