Unless otherwise noted, this article is based on a lecture on Jewish social philosophy given by Gabriel Fagin, MA, LCSW, adjunct professor at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work. Assignment one: I always believed that when Adam and Eve were created, they were created together, connected as if they were conjoined twins behind each other. As a student studying the Bible, I also came to realize that Eve was formed from Adam's rib after his creation. The Bible tells of the creation of Man and Woman in the first chapter of Genesis, as well as in the second chapter of Genesis. There are numerous differences stated in the text between Adam and Eve created in Genesis chapter one and Adam and Eve formed in Genesis chapter two. Below I will outline the differences and explain how the dynamics play out through future generations in the nature of humankind. Adam and Eve created in Genesis chapter one were "formed in the image of God" and there is no actual mention of "parts of man" created at that time. Furthermore, Adam and Eve's primary purpose and mission in life , as stated in Chapter One, includes only statements of “active verbs,” such as “subdue, dominate, rule, multiply, and replenish.” It appears that Adam and Eve were created at the same time and no restrictions were imposed creation of Adam and Eve described in chapter two of Genesis appears very different.

As a couple who practices many of the laws of Taharat HaMishpacha, I can see how following them can help improve our relationships as well. As I noted before, I am convinced that when we can synthesize these characteristics, we become better people and achieve the creativity and redemption we are seeking. In conclusion, studying and reviewing "The Lonely Man of Faith" and beginning to understand a small amount of the innate characteristics of human nature has brought me to a new understanding about human nature, about my marriage, about myself. It was an amazing learning experience.
