Get StartedA Tale of Two Names: From The Garden To The Flood - Week 2 (Part 2 of 8)
A Tale of Two Names: From The Garden To The Flood
In this lecture, Rabbi Fohrman looks into what went wrong in the Garden. How did the snake so easily convince Eve to eat from the Tree of Knowledge? What fundamental understanding was Eve missing that led her to believe his lies? And how, after the tragedy of this sin, can God allow us to come back into His world?
The following lecture is based on an earlier lecture series given in 2001, The Tree of Life vs The Tree of Knowledge, which became the basis of Rabbi Fohrman's book, The Beast that Crouches at the Door. For a later, more expansive version of this course, be sure to listen to Genesis Unveiled.
This lecture is part 3 of a 3 part series. For the first two lecture series on A Tale of Two Names, be sure to listen to A Tale of Two Names: Elokim and YHVH. and A Tale of Two Names: Why Were There Days of Creation?
