Parashat Bereshit: Returning to Eden

Following the first sin, humanity is banished from Eden, and Cherubim with a flaming sword are set to guard the Tree of Life. Could God not have found a different solution instead of expelling humanity? We will explore the deeper meaning of the flaming sword and the human longing to return to Eden.
