Then the man said:
“This one at last
Is bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh.
This one shall be called Woman (Isha)
For from man was she taken.”
Hence a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife so that they
become one flesh. (Gen. 2:21-24)
A marriage without holiness:
ISH
Aleph Yod Shin - Man
ISHA
Aleph Shin Hay - Woman
YA – Yod HAY
- God
AYSH

WHY ARE THERE TWO STORIE ABOUT THE CREATION OF WOMAN?
MEET LILITH – ADAM’S FIRST WIFE
Lilith's name is not included in the creation story of the Torah but she appears in
several
midrashic texts. There are multiple origin stories for Lilith, but the most
popular story depicts Lilith as the first wife of Adam.
Lilith was created by God
from dust and placed to live in the garden with Adam until problems arose
between Adam and Lilith when Adam tried to exercise dominance over Lilith.
One story tells that Lilith refused to lay beneath Adam during sex. She believed
they were created equal, both from the dust of the earth, thus she should not
have to lay beneath him. After Adam disagreed, Lilith fled the Garden of Eden to
gain her independence.
Adam told God that Lilith had left and God sent three angels to retrieve her. The
angels found Lilith in a cave bearing children, but Lilith refused to come back to
the garden. The angels told her they would kill 100 of her children every day for
3
her disobedience. In revenge, she is said to rob children of life and is responsible
for the deaths of still-born infants and crib deaths (SIDS). Male children are at risk
of Lilith's wrath for 8 days after birth (until circumcision) and girls are at risk for 20
days. Although Lilith stole children's lives in the night, she agreed not to kill the
children who had amulets of either of the three angels.
After the angels' departure, Lilith tried to return to the garden but upon her
arrival she discovered that Adam already had another mate, Eve. Out of revenge,
Lilith had sex with Adam while he was sleeping and "stole his seed." With his seed
she bears 'lilium,' earth-bound demons to replace her children killed by the
angels. Lilith is also said to be responsible for males' erotic dreams and night
emissions.
