It's the first Sunday of the New Year - listen to the first 6 chapters of Genesis, 34 minutes right through, with 30 seconds of intro and 9 minutes of comments at the end. These are the primeval antedeluvian myths, about our common humanity as creatures in creation. Instead of 'blood and soil' cults of competing gods and non-human alien 'Other', or social Darwinist ideologies of 'survival of the fittest', here 'toledot' frames our talk of 'us and them', among all our relations. As advertised, '30-60 minute a week'!
Too much at one sitting? Try the daily version of the same chapters, one-a-day from Monday to Saturday, with a chapter and comments, '5-10 minutes a day'.
