Ep. 4 - Breathing Life into Dust: The Creation of Man

  • Summary

  • In this profound installment of Breakneck Through the Bible, Rabbi Bentzi Epstein takes us deeper into the mysteries of creation as we explore Genesis, Chapter 2. Unpacking verses 4 through 8, we discover eye-opening insights into fundamental questions like:

    • What is man's true purpose in the world?
    • How can the Torah's account of creation be reconciled with modern science?
    • What is the essence of a human being - body or soul?
    • How did the breath of God transform dust into a living being?
    • What did the Garden of Eden really look like at first?

    Rabbi Epstein reveals how even the smallest details of the Torah's language contain world-changing ideas. You'll gain a fresh understanding of prayer as the key to unlocking God's blessings, the centrality of the soul in Jewish thought, and the deeper meaning behind common customs like saying "bless you" after a sneeze. Most importantly, you'll come away with practical guidance for fulfilling your own divine purpose. Discover how to make your prayers more effective, avoid the spiritual dangers of becoming "comfortable," and unleash the power of a growth mindset.

    So join Rabbi Epstein for a mind-expanding journey into the heart of what it means to be human. This episode will leave you pondering your deepest assumptions - and inspired to connect more authentically with your Creator.
