Reflections On the Genesis Narrative

from Jerusalem Lights · host Rabbi Chaim Richman and Jim Long

With the conclusion of the festivals of Tishrei, this week we begin the weekly cycle of Torah readings with the first portion of B’reishith, the start of the Book of Genesis. Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman ponder the creation of man, and share thoughts on this expansive Torah portion. Our hosts also give thanks for the great miracle of the thwarted plane hijacking that took place during Sukkot and examine the media's -- and the world's -- reaction to this unprecedented event... and its meaning. _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Follow Rabbi Richman on Substack: https://substack.com/@chaimrichman Join our new WhatsApp channel! https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDN...
