There are a number of
parallels between the creation of the world and the splitting of Yam Suf,
casting this dramatic moment of the Exodus as a kind of “recreation
story.” Which makes the appearance of a provocative midrash about an
Israelite woman picking fruit from a tree and feeding it to another that much
more fascinating… and I’d like to suggest, subversive. What exactly
happened in the Garden of Eden, and what message does it hold for the
generation crossing the sea?
