In our Season 1 finale, we return to the Garden — to the moment Eve takes a bite of that fruit, and the entire human experience changes forever. But was that moment a curse… or the beginning of consciousness? This episode wrestles with the fallout of Eden: mortality, consequence, curiosity, and the very invention of death.

Was it destiny? Or was it the first truly human act? 💬 This one’s more than a recap — it’s a reckoning.

We set out to discuss life after death… but ended up unraveling creation itself.

In this episode of Show & Teller Episode 1, Rabbi Teller and Greg Berman dive right in to a topic that is so familiar to so many people - perfection. Through the lens of relationships with your friends, life partners, and self, we focus on how the practice of putting perfection as a final destination only prevents you from every achieving it. Rabbi Teller and Greg discuss the importance of framing perfection as an unattainable divinity that simply guides a journey that is already perfect, if you just stop to notice it. If you reframe the the idea of perfection as the act of always focusing your mindset on growing as a person, and aligning further with your values and the people you love, you will live a more fulfilling life with deeper connection.
