Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

October 28, 2022/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

“Whoever sheds human blood,
    by humans shall their blood be shed;
for in the image of God
    has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6)

God’s renewed covenant with humanity, permits us to eat meat of other creatures (originally God wanted all creatures to live in Shalom with other creatures and not eat each other, but be vegetarians).

As long as we do not murder other humans, humans have the Divine presence in them, and killing another human being diminishes the image of God on earth. 

Parsha Noach – נֹחַ Torah Summary:

God decides to cause a flood that will destroy the world, sparing only Noah’s family and the animals that Noah gathers together on the ark. (6:9-8:22) Life starts over again after the Flood. The Noahide Commandments are listed, and God uses a rainbow to make a symbol of the first covenant. (9:1-17) People start to build a city and the Tower of Babel. God scatters the people and gives them different languages to speak. (11:1-9) The ten generations from Noah to Abram are listed. (11:10-29:2) Noach – נֹחַ “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind” (Genesis 9:6) God’s renewed covenant with humanity, permits us to eat meat of other creatures (originally God wanted all creatures to live in Shalom with other creatures and not eat each other, but be vegetarians).

Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

October 8, 2021/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

“Noah was a righteous man, he walked with God”

What kind of a person knows about a disaster that is about to happen, and does not raise heaven and earth to rescue his neighbors? What kind of a person builds an ark and saves only his family?

The prophet Isaiah calls the flood “Noah’s water” blaming the flood on Noah’s decision not to try and save others! Letting us know we should not be closing ourselves in our Arks when others can use our help.

Noach (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

October 23, 2020/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Noach – נֹחַ (Genesis 6:9−11:32)

Who was Noah? Good or Bad?

“Noah was a righteous person,” says the Torah, and then adds, “in his generation,” meaning maybe a compliment. Even though everyone near him was evil, he managed to stay righteous, or maybe the opposite, compared to the horrible people around him, he was righteous, however in a different generation, he would not be considered righteous.

And I ask myself, what kind of a person hears about a flood that will destroy the entire world, and does not warn his neighbors?

Instead of letting everyone know, he saves himself and his family and only them. Hope and pray we live in a generation that such behavior will be called selfish not righteous!

Noach (Genesis 6:9-11:32)

November 1, 2019/in Torah Tidbit

This Week’s Torah Portion: Noach (Genesis 6:9-11:32)

At the end of the story of the great flood God places a rainbow in the sky as a token of the covenant between God and all the people of the earth.

Why does God choose the rainbow? The rabbis teach us that the rainbow is an appropriate symbol of peace because it is made up of many different colors, and when you look at it, it is impossible to distinguish one color from the next.

The rainbow reminds us that even though no two humans are alike, we are all part of one covenant with God. Like the colors of the rainbow, we are all different, and yet we are all God’s children and we all have a share in the fulfillment of that covenant to help God create a world of Shalom.
