Jewish mythology
Jewish mythology encompasses the rich tapestry of stories, beliefs, and traditions found within the Jewish faith. It includes narratives from the Hebrew Bible, such as the creation story in Genesis, the tales of the patriarchs like Abraham and Moses, and the adventures of figures like David and Solomon. These stories often convey moral lessons and reflect the relationship between God and the Jewish people.
In addition to biblical tales, Jewish mythology features various mystical elements, particularly from Kabbalah, which explores the nature of God and the universe. Figures like the Golem, a creature made from clay, and the Lilith, a figure associated with night and femininity, illustrate the blend of folklore and spirituality in Jewish tradition.
