It’s so crazy that Jewish religious leaders know that it’s a flood myth and not at all historical. This isn’t a new realization either. This is a long standing view.
A lot of Jews see the Torah as allegorical, just like a lot of Catholics. I went to Catholic school and not a single person tried to tell me that a day really meant a day in the creation myth. Everyone just sort of had an aside that time was funky and people weren’t the best at clear note taking back then, so it’s more a loose allegory than definite fact (given that the Vatican is cool with evolution, it’s not so surprising).
That said, I think this is the wrong comment section
