RCS - NEXT GENesis

NEXT GENesis
In Bereshit, the Story Began. In Us, It Continues.

Every life is a story unfolding - but not every story is fully understood. What if the deeper currents of your journey were already inscribed within the Torah's opening sagas? The Rosh Chodesh Society invites you to a new seven-part course, NEXT GENesis, where the early narratives of Genesis emerge not as distant beginnings but as a living reflection of the human soul. Through stories of longing and choice, fracture and renewal, discover a more intimate understanding of yourself, your purpose, and the path unfolding before you. With brilliance, warmth, and practical wisdom, this course gently reveals the deeper truths woven within these narratives - the story beneath the stories - inviting you to step into them and continue them with clarity, courage, and soul.

Human history is born in beauty—with trees and fruits, with clarity and mission. Enter Eden's serenity to discover the driving purpose of Genesis, the roles of the human body and its soul in G‑d's plan, and the relationship between corporeality and spirituality. Meet the first couple and, at the Garden's center, a couple of trees bearing towering secrets of awareness and eternity.
