Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
This week we restart the annual Torah readings with the Parsha of Bereishit. Most of Bereishit is about Hashem's creating the world and man within it. There are so many questions that we can ask on this Parsha but the one that we wanted to focus on was the discussion of how literal we should be taking the creation story. The science tells us that the universe is almost 14 billion years old and that earth is 4.5 billion years old. How do we reconcile that while remaining true to God and His Torah? We invited our friend Aryeh Berman to join us for this meaningful and important discussion.
