The Blasphemer: A Return to Eden | A Book Like No Other Podcast S2:E4

Is there any redemption for the mekallel? In this episode, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu head back to Leviticus to explore a fascinating connection between the mekallel, the utopian laws of the Jubilee year, and the Torah’s original utopia, Eden. This new thread of evidence shines a more uplifting light on our dark text - while unlocking unexpected insight into how we as a society may be able to offer disenfranchised individuals, like the mekallel, a more genuine and meaningful sense of belonging.

This season was insightful, and I love the faith it takes to see Gods ultimate good even in what seems like a dark situation.
You guys should really pick up the Christian new testament, which expounds on some of these topics in incredible ways. Joseph was a foreshadow of Jesus, whom his brothers hated and betrayed, but later is found to be the ruler. The story of Abraham and Isaac’s sacrifice is a foreshadow of God offering up his son Jesus on the cross. The reason we are able to go back to God after death is because Jesus descend into hell, led captivity captive, snatching away the keys of hell from Satan, thus making a way for people to be reconciled back to God.
