Babylonian Talmud, Chagigah 2b

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. Imagine: what do you think the world first looked like when G-d created it?

2. What does the world look like today? How is it similar to the world you imagined previously? How is it different? Why?

3. What can we do to make our world today look as beautiful as it did right after creation? How can we keep our world from becoming, as the Talmud puts it, a “Waste land?”
