A Tale of Two Names: From The Garden To The Flood
What is the ultimate tragedy of the Sin of God? It’s probably not what you think. Join Rabbi Fohrman as we look into the very first verse of the Cain and Abel story and see how the seeds of the second tragedy of the Bible were planted.
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?
