Enter the packed courtroom and take your seat as a juror on the
Cain v. Abel trial. Soon, the prosecution and defense attorneys
(angels from Jewish legend) will call Cain, Abel, Sin, Adam, Eve,
and God to the witness stand to present their perspectives on the
world's first murder. Great Jewish commentators throughout the ages
will also offer contradictory testimony on Cain's emotional,
societal, and spiritual influences. As jurors, when we mete out
Cain's punishment, must we factor in his family history,
psychological makeup, and the human impulse to sin? In this highly
eclectic and gripping compilation of insights by Jewish
commentators on the Cain and Abel story, courtroom scenes are
juxtaposed with the author's commentary, advancing novel insights
and introspection. As each of us grapples with Cain's actions, we
confront our own darkest traits. If Cain is a symbol for all
humanity, what can we do to avoid becoming like him? Furthering
this conversation, Rabbi Dan Ornstein includes a discussion and
activity guide to promote open dialogue about human brokenness and
healing, personal impulses, and societal responsibility.
