● The genesis: chapter 1 man and women are created simulations, God says let “us” make
man and women of our lightness and our imagine. Creation of humans, men and women
created equally
●Chapter 2: first Adam is created, then God concludes it’s not enough for a man to be
alone. God puts Adam to sleep, opens his chest up takes his rib and creates a women,
women being in a subordinate position belonging to a man. Adam was created from soul.
Passover: exodus (israelites were told to mark their doors with blood of lamb, so the angels
would pass over and not take the first born)
●Meal :sedar, 7 foods that are eaten, few of them symbolize aspects of the story

○Hadza bread, flat because they were packing up in a hurry that there was no time
to let the bread rise
Sabbath: day of rest, no technology or cooking
