    SIBLING RIVALRY, with Moshe Kasher

    SIBLING RIVALRY, with Moshe Kasher

    Have you ever killed your brother or sister? No? That's probably a good thing. But have you ever wanted to kill your brother or sister? If so, then have I got a book for you to read. It's the very first book of the Torah. In fact, the book of Genesis and sibling rivalry of all things might just be the number one theme that runs through the book. It's right there from the start. The person that made the most sense to discuss these topics with was my brother, Moshe. Along the way, we discussed polyamory, parental narcissism ,and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And I think we eventually got to a vision for world peace.
