Bereishit: One Blood | Genesis

from Parsha-ly Crazy Hosted by Matthew Ponak, Joel Goldstein & Rebecca Croog

What does Genesis say about what it means to be human, and are we supposed to learn how to live from the creation story? This week, Rabbi Joel Goldstein, Dr. Rebecca Croog, and Rabbi Matthew Ponak dive into Parashat Bereishit (Genesis), exploring creation and chaos, the sweetness and bitterness of Torah study, mystical meanings in Hebrew letters, and what the story of creation might say about being human. Along the way: the Zohar, the Talmud, Rashi, some questionable podcast slogans, and three very different ways of reading the beginning of the beginning.
