[Avodah] the theme of sefer bereishit

[Saul.Z.Newman at kp.org]

http://www.aish.com/tp/i/sacks/135403243.html according to the chief 
rabbi, it's--
 One theme appears no less than six (possibly even seven) times. Whenever 
a member of the covenantal family leaves his or her own space and enters 
the wider world of their contemporaries, they encounter a world of sexual 
free-for-all. ....Emunah means faithfulness, loyalty, fidelity, honouring 
your commitments, doing what you said you would do and acting in such a 
way as to inspire trust. It has to do with relationships, first and 
foremost with marriage.
Sex belongs, for the Torah, within the context of marriage, and it is 
marriage that comes closest to the deep resonances of the biblical idea 
of covenant
