Garden of Eden: Take Two

Thank you Rabbi Friedman for your teaching.

What an eye-opening explaination. I just want to better unerstand how everything fits together. I don't understand what the role of the snake was in this interpretation. Whay was the snake reduced to a creature that crawls on its stomach and seemingly punished and it stated that women will hate them? Also if childbirth is painful because it is echoing the the contractions the soul goes through in its descent to earth why was child birth painless before the sin or that's what it appears the verses? Didn't the descent occur even before the sin with contractions? If Chava made the right decision and Adam gave her the credit, why is one of the ramifications that Adam will rule over her(Beraishit: Chapter 3: Verse 16)? Lastly, if Adam chose to eat the fruit knowing he would have to die to neutralize the unholiness why did he reenter the Garden of Eden after he was thrown out to eat from the Tree of LIfe and did G-d have to guard it? Further explaination would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you Rabbi Friedman for: Garden of Eden:Take Two. What a wonderful insight of this subject. The Torah is a joy to delight in!

Rabbi Friedman's speech on Bereishit is just amazing! It reveals the unmistaken truth that G-s is always good! G-s is always G-d!
