Original Sin: Fruit, Free Will, and Fracture
Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning
The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Education presents a session exploring the story of Eden and the concept of original sin through Jewish tradition. Participants will examine how ancient, medieval, and early modern commentators understood the first human choice—whether as desire overcoming discipline, the rise of ego, or humanity’s shift from innocence to experience—and why this narrative continues to shape our understanding of what it means to be human. The program considers not just what went wrong in the Garden, but how the story defines the human condition.
