Beraishis – The Tree of Knowledge

An inspiring and thought provoking explanation of Adam and Eve’s sin of eating from the
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

What was the snake truly trying to accomplish? What is the nature of the new knowledge of good and evil which Adam and Eve brought into themselves and the creation? What was the status of this knowledge before the sin?
What could have been if the sin never occurred?
