who knows three?


three are the fathers - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

&

myth of the creation of human: Adam + Eve + Lilith
meals on Shabbat,
categories of judgement on Rosh Hashana: Life, Death and In-between
& the Temples: the 1st, 2nd that were destroyed and the one-to-come-(maybe)
no. of days journey to somewhere significant: Abraham + Isaac to the Akedah, and time it takes to walk the length of Nineveh
leadership archetypes of ancient Israel: kings, prophets & priests
hierarchy within the people: Cohenim (Priests), Levites, and Israelites
no. of hours to wait after eating meat before eating milk (if you are british)
& no. of matzot on the seder plate

3 introduces complexity, it is more than the simple choice of either/or
