Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, Barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. Parashat B’reshit [Genesis 1:1–6:8] begins the annual reading of the Torah once again. We spend some time discussing the phenomenon of reading and rereading the Torah, and how we might approach it with new eyes, with freshness, year after year. We discuss Creation, as it appears in chapter 1 and in chapter 2, we discuss Adam & Eve, Cain & Abel; we talk about Noah, who makes his appearance at the end of the parashah. There is no end to what we could talk about other than the one imposed by time!

We welcome you to our new year of conversation about the Torah, and we look forward to hearing from you, by e-mail at [email protected], facebook, or some other medium. Shabbat Shalom!
