Most all religions around the world contain a plethora of myths and narratives. Judaism‚ too‚ contains numerous stories and myths that are considered very important to the Jewish tradition. However‚ there is one story‚ the Exodus‚ which can be considered the "orienting myth" both in narrative‚ as defined by Mircea Eliade‚ as well as historically.
