Jews do not see the eating of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil as the fall of humankind, but as its first step toward fulfilling its destiny. Life in Eden would never have resulted in the awakening of a mind capable of realizing Yesh and Ayn as the two poles of God.
Eve and Adam had to leave paradise if they were to grow.
A second difference between Judaism and Christianity: We do not believe that we need the intervention of another to effect our getting right with God. We do not need faith in a messiah to mend our relationship with God. God is always waiting for us. All we need do is return, make teshuvah, pay attention to the present, and discover the Presence. Teshuvah and tikkun, returning to God and godliness, are totally up to us. It is a matter of will not faith.
