From Gan Eden to Today – Same Test – Same Struggle with Rabbi Yaghobian

In this episode Rabbi Yaghobian returns to explore the timeless struggle that began in Gan Eden and continues in every Jew’s life today. Together we examine the true meaning of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Bad, how Adam and Chava’s choice reshaped the human condition, and why our challenge is not just knowing truth but aligning our will with Hashem’s. Rabbi Yaghobian explains how intellect, emotion, and desire interact, why temptation masks itself as logic, and how our daily struggles—large and small—are all rooted in that first test. Far from abstract philosophy, the lessons here are profoundly practical for navigating decisions, battling rationalizations, and strengthening our connection to Hashem.
