90 foot tall Adam In Jewish Talmud

Talmud Chagigah 12a: Adam HaRishon

B”H 

The Talmud Tractate Chagigah 12a teaches that Adam HaRishon (Adam) reached from one end of the earth to the other. 

Explanation:

Like many Aggadic statements these measurements are not meant literally. Rather, the Gemara refers to the measure of mind. Adam’s mind was able to comprehend all that was from one end of heaven to the other and all that was between heaven and earth.
