  • Summary

  • Few things are constant across all humanity and throughout time. Stories are one of them. Some stories we forget, while some stay with us forever. Some are stories of culture, morals, and philosophies that guide us to happy and meaningful lives. 

    These are stories of Gods and Demons, of Heroes and Legends, epic battles and wars; stories of fortitude and inner strength, of fighting against all odds and emerging victorious.

    These stories inevitably become tales that determine our moral compass, justify norms and mores of our society, and provide a proud self-identity, and a socio-cultural belonging. These become the stories that give us meaning. 

    This podcast is about such stories. Those that are deeply rooted within us, governing our morality and principles. So join us on a journey across cultures, tribes, civilizations, and religions, as we identify and discuss those stories that matter. The stories that made us.

  • S2 E17: Heroines & Heroes - JewishTale - Adam and Eve: The Conclusion

    S2 E17: Heroines & Heroes - JewishTale - Adam and Eve: The Conclusion
    Sep 14 2021
    This episode is the finale of the three-part Jewish tale of Adam and Eve. Check out the previous two episodes before you listen to this for more context. In the first episode, we spoke of God’s intent to create man and angels’ opposition to the love and freedom of will and conscience that God chose to gift mankind. We spoke of the creation of Adam, of the existence, nature, and the journey of our souls, and in doing so, we spent time talking about the disposition of an ideal man – and the nature of Adam. The second episode recounted the nature of an ideal man, the story of Satan, the creation of Lilith and Eve, and then we spoke of Adam and Eve’s life in Paradise – in the garden of Eden; and then concluded that episode with the fall of humanity as we ate the forbidden fruit.The story this week continues from here. It has been collected and recounted from the book titled “The Legends of the Jews” by Louis Ginsberg.

    S2 E15: Heroines & Heroes - JewishTale - Adam and Eve Part I
    Aug 31 2021

    Hi There! Welcome to another episode of Stories That Made Us. This episode, and in the next two, we tell the Jewish tale of man’s creation, disgrace, punishment, and expulsion from the garden of Eden – it’s the story of the first of humanity – it’s the life and times of Adam and Eve. This myth requires no introduction, and so, without any fanfare, let's get straight to the story, which has been recounted from the book titled “The Legends of the Jews” by Louis Ginsberg. Details are in the show notes.
