Parsha Highlights

We kicked off the sefer Breishit by examining the following issues in the parsha:
  • The real sin of the snake in tricking Chava to eat the forbidden fruit
  • Learning to be happy for others - Kayin and Hevel
  • An alternative understanding of the word "shabbat" (to stop) and its implications for Shabbat observance (stopping all creative labor to appreciate God's creative role in the world)
