Description

The story of the Nimrod's Tower of Bavel opens with a seemingly beautiful description of global unity. Why would that be problematic? Why would God want to destroy that? We clarify the critical difference between the power of unity and the meaninglessness and dangers of conformity. We then contrast Nimrod and his generation with the emergence of Avraham who embodies the essence of meaningfully forging one's own unique identity in this world.
