[Avodah] Fw: Adam Ha'rishon

[Ben Waxman]

Adam was passive in the entire story. He didn't question Khava, he simply ate what was put in front of him (much like any man). Khava argued with the snake, Adam didn't argue with Khava. Further when God asked Adam why he ate the apple (or whatever it was), he simply said "She gave it to me". He couldn't even take responsibility for what he did. So I would say that he wasn't enticed by the snake at all, he was simply not a player in this story.

  It is brought down that the names of the creations of Hashem well define them. This was Adam Ha'rishon's incredible power. He understood the purpose of every creature, its function and uniqueness. Thus, he was able to give them names and was blessed with an unparalleled ability to understand everything there is to know about every creature.  


  Therefore I ask how it was possible for Adam Ha'rishon to have been enticed by the nachash through Chava?
