The Birth of Free Choice – Garden of Eden Part Four
May 26, 2009

Dear Friends,
Many people are surprised to learn that before Adam and Chava ate from the Tree of Knowledge — the Torah records two earlier rebellions made before human beings were even created! The first is the incident between the sun and the moon and the second was by fruit bearing trees. Given that these creations don’t have free choice, what are the Rabbis teaching us with these accounts, and how did they set the stage for mankind’s first test?
