Get StartedFruit Trees In The Sea? The Epilogue (Part 2 of 2)
Were there really fruit trees when the Sea split?
In this epilogue, Rabbi Fohrman takes a deeper look at the midrash on crossing the red sea, specifically at how we are told that a mother reaches for an apple to satiate her crying child. What early story in Genesis does this remind you of?
Through this analysis, Rabbi Fohrman finds curious parallels to the Garden of Eden – when Eve also reached for an apple – and uncovers how the crossing of the Red Sea could have been the ultimate redemption for the original sin, and how we, too, can please God in the same way today.
