Vayetze: Nobody is the Villain of their Own Story (A Conversation with Rabbi Geoff Mitelman)

Published: Nov. 29, 2022, 3:05 p.m.

b"Vayetze tells the story of Jacob - his journey to Aram, his business dealings, his family life. This week I talk with Rabbi Geoff Mitelman, Founder of Sinai and Synapses, about the phenomenon of lying and dishonesty: why it's so prevalent in the Torah portion, how it plays into our political culture, and how it is born out of human nature. We also talk about his work at the intersection of science and religion.\\nTo access Rabbi Mitelman's work at Sinai and Synapses: https://sinaiandsynapses.org/\\nTo become a supporter of Seven Minute Torah, visit www.patreon.com/sevenminutetorah.\\nFor more information on our new Zoom Torah study groups, go to https://micahstreiffer.com/torah-study/.\\nJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sevenminutetorahgroup\\nQuestions or comments?
