Can the Torah regulate thoughts? Would one be punished for coveting what belongs to others? When one lacks bitachon, they tend to look at what others own and become jealous, or overwork themselves to earn a better livelihood. However, can one beat the Divine system? Can one fool HaKadosh Baruch Hu? What happens to someone who violates Shabbos for parnasah? Join BeEzrat HaShem. Learn with Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner. Study kosher Jewish ideologies and halachos.

Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner explores the narrative of the serpent who enticed Hava to eat from the tree of knowledge. While many are familiar with the basic story of the first sin, the deeper insights provided by our sages in Talmud Sotah reveal a staggering transformation that took place. The serpent was not always the crawling creature we recognize today. In fact, he was originally created with hands and feet, walking upright just like a human being. Beyond his physical stature, the serpent possessed a cunning intellect and was destined for greatness. He was intended to be the king over all animals, a position of supreme authority in the natural world. However, driven by desire and a plan to eliminate Adam and marry Hava, he attempted to cheat the divine system. This calculation backfired in a monumental way. Instead of gaining a kingdom, the kingship was divided among the lion, the bull, and the eagle, leaving the serpent with nothing but a devastating series of curses. The punishment from Hashem was absolute. The serpent lost his limbs, his royal status, and even his sense of taste, as everything he consumes now tastes like dust. This serves as a powerful warning for every Jewish soul. When a person tries to bypass the ratzon Hashem or thinks they can gain by working on Shabbos, they risk losing everything they currently possess. What was the true nature of the serpents jealousy, and how does this spiritual law apply to our daily lives and our observance of mitzvos? Explore the connection between the fall of the serpent and the importance of remaining holy as we delve further into the wisdom of the Torah.
