Parsha Bereishit

As we begin the Torah anew with Bereishit, Rabbi Miriam invites us to reflect on the timeless lessons of our first parasha. She says:

”This first parasha of the Torah contains so many heartbreaking truths about humanity - our innate competitiveness, our need to possess and have power over others, our capacity for violence... but I believe also our incredible capacity for self-reflection and progress.”
