Description

Derech HaTeva is a publication of the undergraduate students of Stern College for Women. <br> Editors in Chief: Anna Lisa Katz and Michelle Segall<br><br> A recent discovery about the growth patterns of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shows that the correlation between yeast and the yeitzer hara goes beyond broad symbolism. The biological details ofthe life cycle of baker's yeast match some of the aggadic descriptions of the yeitzer hara.
