Parsha: Bereishis - Microcosm of History
Today is a bittersweet day. Although we are very excited to embark on year 8 of the Parsha Podcast, we are only a few days after the terrible attacks in Israel, where hundreds of our brethren were massacred. In light of the terrible atrocities perpetrated against our people and the war that is sparked, we begin this season of the Parsha Podcast with addressing the situation from a Torah perspective. We proceed to discuss the first parsha of the Torah: Bereishis. In keeping with this years theme of DAD - deep and deeper - of trying to see a bit deeper - to read not just the text but also the subtext of the parsha - we talk about three subjects in the parsha: the Genesis narrative and it's overarching message, the unusual source for the dust of which Adam's body was created, and an interesting observation about the birth of Noah.
