Honoring G-d's Creation by Improving it

  • サマリー

  • In this week’s episode we discuss a verse from Genesis (and Friday night Kiddush) and commentary on it from Bereshit Rabbah which asks the question of why the extra word of “La’asot” sometimes translated as “(that G-d) had done” is included in the verse. Bereshit Rabbah states that everything G-d created in the six days of creation still “requires some action.“ We discuss how humans now have a never ending to-do list to maintain nature, and in the face of climate change this sometimes poses challenges to halacha when more drastic actions might be required such as interbreeding of wild animals or genetic modifications, but that we must always keep humility about the consequences of our actions at the front of mind.
