Beresheit 5785: Beginnings and Fractures

This week’s podcast is sponsored by Simonne Abadee in celebration of the beginning of our creation, the new year, and a new reading of our Torah, offering the chance to engage anew in our learning. Ten years ago, Simonne came to Pardes and immersed herself in Torah learning. Through this, a whole new world of life opened up to her. She has chosen to sponsor this episode in recognition of Pardes for providing her—and many others—with the opportunity to connect with our history, laws, and customs. How does the story of Cain and Abel set the stage for human relationships throughout the Torah? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Judy Klitsner delve into Parashat Bereshit, exploring the complex relationship between Cain and Abel. They examine how this foundational story of siblings sheds light on deeper human conflicts and struggles, both personal and communal. Through classical commentaries and modern insights, they unpack the Torah’s teachings on rivalry, responsibility, and reconciliation, with lessons that resonate profoundly today. Additionally, they introduce the newly launched Sefaria source sheet collection Ta'amei HaPardes, a valuable resource for further learning and exploration. Explore the collection. Featuring: Judy Klitsner – Pardes Faculty Zvi Hirschfield – Pardes Faculty and Host of Pardes from Jerusalem
