Over the centuries, Kabbalists have focused their text-based teachings by adding the dimension of metaphor to the traditional interpretation of Torah. The most radical of their suggestions was the affirmation that a “new Torah” will be revealed through the creativity of seeing the text as fluid and reconfiguring in new forms. In parallel fashion to how Wicked retells the story of the Wizard of Oz, we will delve into the story of Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden to formulate a “new old story” which foreshadows the evolution of humankind.
