Shalom friends,
In the Garden of Eden, the first man and woman were face-to-face (face-to-skull?) with the terrifying Angel of Death. They had eaten the most forbidden, off-limits Nootropic ever: the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Now, it was time for the consequences of that snack. The primordial FAFO was nigh! Welcome to #JewishLoreReactions Trouble in Paradise, Part II💀🌳🐍
