Bereishit Ch. 1

In this first episode of the 929 Tanach Project, Rabbi Yoni Zolty explores the structure and patterns of Bereshit chapter 1. The creation story unfolds in symmetry—days 1–3 forming the world’s framework, and days 4–6 filling it with life. Rabbi Zolty highlights the equal creation of man and woman, humanity’s shared dependence with animals, and the Torah’s striking silence on whether humans are inherently “good,” leaving free will as the central question of Bereshit.
