A Message from Rabbi Kenneth Carr
All Other Nights
I love the stories of Genesis.Especially when our Torah reading cycle carries us out of the epic prehistory of creation and the flood into the adventures of the matriarchs and patriarchs, I enjoy delving into the characters, following their actions, questioning their motives and their intentions, and imagining their emotions.They are not two-dimensional, simplistic puppets; rather, their complexity fleshes them out into fully real people, who rise to challenges with great courage and vision but also disappoint expectations by lying and conniving.At this time of year, as we move into the story of Jacob and his children, climaxing in the dramatic narrative of Joseph and his brothers, the plot twists and literary style feels similar to reading any good book.Some scholars have even called Joseph’s story the first novel in history!
