Episode 29: Rabbi Jonathan Livi "Adam, Eve & The Human Condition"

Rabbi Jonthan Livi, host of 3 Podcasts on Apple (The Parasha Podcast, The Navi Podcast, The Tehillim Podcast), carefully analyzes the nuances of the Garden of Eden narrative and uncovers some of its deepest lessons. The creation epic in the book of Genesis is arguably the most enigmatic, mysterious, and sophisticated text in the entire Torah, containing an endless stream of wisdom at every turn. Is the story of Adam & Hava literal, allegorical, or a mix of both? Rabbi Sacks zt'l eloquently taught that this is not Man's book about God, but rather God's book about Man. The description of Gan Eden, Man, Woman and the Snake, 2 Trees and 4 Rivers provides universal, timeless insights about the human condition. The Rabbi uncovers the secret to what our place is in the story of the origin of mankind.        --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/judaismdemystified/support
