## Resource

Two brothers, two offerings, one field—and the first murder in human history. On today's episode of our daily Jewish podcast, we're returning to the haunting story of Cain and Abel, where sibling rivalry turns into something far darker. Why was Abel's offering accepted and Cain's rejected? What does it mean when God asks, "Where is your brother?" And how does this brief Genesis narrative shape Jewish ideas about jealousy, responsibility, and the value of a single life? We'll explore the biblical text, rabbinic expansions, and the uncomfortable truth that the first family drama sets the tone for so much of what follows. This one's ancient—and painfully relevant.
