Episode 135 - Parshat Chayei Sara: Finding One's Imago

Through a sensitive reading of Yitzchak and Rivka's betrothal and marriage, Rachel Sharansky Danziger paints a poignant portrait of the strengths and challenges inherent in their union. This Bereshit series is titled Choseness and Choices. The book of Bereshit is propelled forward by God’s chosen representatives: Adam, Kayin, Noach, Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, but these messengers impact the world because of the choices they make. It is the nexus between being chosen and the human choices that actualize the divine will in the world that is explored in this series.
