Have you ever been bothered by the story of creation? If God is perfect, why create Adam alone and call it "not good"? And the biggest question of all: Who invited the snake into the Garden of Eden? Was humanity set up to fail from the very beginning?

In the premiere episode of Parasha Deep Dive, host Shlomo Godsi sits down with one of his very first teachers in Tsfat, Rabbi Yuma Levitas—a brilliant mathematician and Kabbalist—to wrestle with the deepest questions at the heart of Parshat Bereshit.

This is not the story of Genesis you learned as a child. This is a profound, mystical, and soul-nourishing exploration of the Torah's foundational text that will challenge what you thought you knew and provide a richer framework for your own life. If you're ready for a real conversation that goes beyond the surface, press play now.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• A Mind-Bending Idea: Why God creating Adam alone wasn't an act of imperfection, but of too much perfection.

• The Secret of the Serpent: The true, mystical identity of the Nachash (the snake) and its shocking connection to time, anxiety, and our obsession with the future.

• The Tree of Knowledge: Discover why the forbidden fruit wasn't inherently evil, but a matter of "tragic impatience" and cosmic timing related to Shabbat.

• A Deeper Truth: The purpose behind Adam naming the animals and what it reveals about the power of the Hebrew letters.

• The 130-Year Separation: Unpacking the Kabbalistic concept of Adam and Chava's separation, spiritual purification (tikkun), and the removal of the cosmic "filth" (zuama).

• The Mission: Rabbi Levitas shares his life's mission as a "silversmith of the Hebrew letters."
