Adam in rabbinic literature

So, there's this big book called the Torah that tells the story of how God made the world and everything in it. One of the important people in the Torah is a man named Adam. He was the first man that God made and he lived a long time ago.

But after the Torah was written, lots of Jewish scholars wanted to learn more about Adam and his story. They studied and talked and wrote about him for many years, and all their ideas and stories became known as "rabbinic literature."

In this literature, they talk about how God made Adam out of dirt and breathed life into him. They also believe that Adam was very close to God and had a special relationship with Him.

But then Adam made a mistake and did something that God told him not to do. He ate a fruit from a tree that was forbidden, and this caused him to lose his special relationship with God.

The rabbis also wrote about how Adam had a wife named Eve and they had children together. They talk about how Adam's son Cain killed his brother Abel, and how Adam and Eve were very sad about this.

Overall, Adam is a very important person in Jewish history and there are many stories and ideas about him in rabbinic literature.
