As a follow up to today's class, I am posting the questions here on the blog. At eh bottom of the post, I have placed the URL for mechon-mamre, Breishit, chapter 1. Just clock on the 2 at the top of the page for chapter 2.
Read Breishit 1:24-28 and 2:7-9; 15-24
Questions:
1) What does being created "in the image of God (v.27)" mean to you?
2) Read the commentaries for v. 27. How do they add to your understanding of what being created in God's image means? How?
3) Does Creation make man and woman equal? (read and compare 1:28 and the Adam-Eve creation story carefully for this question).
4) Should the fact that we are all created in God's image affect how we treat oen another? How so?
5) Besides human relationships, what other responsibilities are given to human beings in these texts?
