Genesis
The Book of Genesis takes us from the creation ofthe world through the birth of the Jewish faith.
The people who move our story forward teach uswhat it means to be human and to live in
relationship with the Divine. Together we willexplore their stories, read the commentaries
created by the rabbis of old, and add our voice to this
sacred text.
