Join Rabbi Epstein for another exhilarating journey into the depths of Torah wisdom as we explore days 2-5 of Creation. In this episode of Breakneck Through the Bible, we will cover:

• The Torah's mind-blowing view of the universe's age and expansion
• The seven levels of heaven according to Judaism
• Why God didn't say "it was good" on the second day
• How the earth exercised free will in creating fruit trees
• The significance of the phrase "each according to its own kind"

Rabbi Epstein uncovers layer upon layer of meaning in the Torah's elegantly simple language, bringing out details that you might have missed.

Or that the phrase "each according to its own kind" contains the seeds of the kosher laws? You'll come away with a renewed sense of awe at the Torah's eternal relevance. Far from a simplistic myth, Genesis emerges as a nuanced cosmology whose insights continue to reverberate in the discoveries of modern science and the dilemmas of contemporary life.
