Genesis Unveiled

In Search of the Missing Sabbath

In the video, the last of Unit 4, Rabbi Fohrman identifies the common Sabbath as a Sabbath from technological creativity, and suggests that the Circumcision Covenant represents a Sabbath from biological creativity.

For a more in depth version of Genesis Unveiled, we recommend listening to A Brief History Of The World: From Adam To Abraham, the first of four sets of lecture series that span the entire book of Genesis! Be sure to listen to it all! The remaining sets of lecture series are: Abraham's Journey 1, Abraham's Journey 2, and Jacob: Man of Truth?
