Description

We are back to "In the beginning..." as we begin another cycle of Torah reading. Now is a great time to take a step back and ask, What is the Torah? And why should we study it? After attempting to answer these lofty questions, Jenna delves into the story of Adam and Eve, one of the deepest and most misunderstood in the Torah. In doing so, she sheds some light on their eating from the tree and how it is relevant to our own lives.
