Get StartedWhy Were There Days of Creation? Week 2 (Part 2 of 3)
A Tale of Two Names: Why Were There Days of Creation?
In this week's lecture, Rabbi Fohrman goes through the opening verses of Creation, and helps us understand, just what these 'days' were anyway? The result is a beautiful revelation of God's graciousness and power, and brings a different meaning to the Shema we say every morning and every night.
For our latest, most expansive and refined material on this subject, be sure to watch our fully animate course Making Sense of Morning Prayers.
This lecture is part 2 of a 3 part series. For the first series on A Tale of Two Names, be sure to listen to A Tale of Two Names: Elokim and YHVH. For the last in the lecture series, listen to A Tale of Two Names: From The Garden To The Flood.
