This week's Jerusalem Lights podcast celebrates the restart of the yearly cycle of weekly Torah readings this Shabbat, with the first portion of B’reishith, the Book of Genesis. Exploring the remarkable confluence of Torah knowledge and scientific discovery, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman’s fascinating discussion touches upon everything from the elusive mystery of G-d’s name, to the Torah’s view on pre-historic man (were there people before Adam?) Our hosts' amazing and animated discussion moves swiftly from the age of the universe, to the pagan origins of Halloween, to little-known aspects of the lives of literary giants Edgar Alan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle…and Conan Doyle’s unlikely relationship with the famed illusionist Harry Houdini. An amazing kick-off for the new year of 5783!
