This week’s Torah portion is Bereshit – “In the Beginning.” As we start this year’s schedule of Torah readings, we begin with a prior question: Given the fact that the Bible was written so long ago and under circumstances so different than our own, is it really important that we engage its stories, prophecies and poetry? Rabbi Rich mixes humor and deep insight as he explores this vital question.
