Bereishis, Torah Tavlin: Spice or Antidote?
Oct 24, 2022 Season 16 Episode 23
Dr. Julian Ungar-Sargon

We explore the challenge of describing a prelapsarian Edenic world without the yetzer hara…Using language of a post-lapsarian post-Eitz Hadaas self-consciousness

And how does the translation affect the way we articulate the impact of the yetser hara?
