Through the characters of Sarah and Rebecca, the Jewish people’s claims to the land start to take shape, and the covenantal family begins to grow, albeit through struggle and suffering.

Part 5: Claiming the Land

The first man and woman do not last long in the original sacred space, the Garden of Eden. As such, much of the subsequent Biblical stories are best understood by attempts by other human beings to find an alternative to this sacred space. Join Rabbi David Silber as he examines how this theme is threaded through the entirety of the Book of Genesis. 

This 12-part series is sponsored in memory of Ellen Goodstein Koplow and Joan Silverstein Meyers.
