1. Creation Anew

   Rabbi Zeev Weitman

   After mankind was corrupted, God regrets creating man, and destroys every living thing. The renewal of the world after the flood is described as a re-creation of the world. Is the new world more successful than the first? What is the relationship between Noah's drunkenness and Adam's sin? Is there a relationship between Lot's drunkenness after the destruction of Sodom and Noah's drunkenness after the destruction of the world?

2. Noach – To Be A Man of the Earth

   Rabbi Yaakov Beasley

   How did Noah, filled with the hopes of his generation, descend so rapidly to the state of shame and dishonor that marks his final appearance in the Torah? In order to answer our questions, we will rely on literary allusions and connections to other stories to decipher the cryptic answers encoded within the text in front of us. 

   In direct opposition to God's wish to repopulate the desolate earth, Noach chooses to refrain from bringing new life forth. Instead, he chose to avoid his destiny, to drown himself in his own handiwork. 

3. Righteousness and Rescue: Noah, Lot and the Two Stories of the Flood

   Rabbi Chanoch Waxman

   תאריך פרסום: 5777 | | Hour and 11 minutes

   In this shiur, we will take a critical look at the righteousness of Noah. We will also discuss the way Hazal and the text approach the problems of the generation and the multifaceted narrative of the flood, as we address claims of biblical criticism. An intertextual comparative approach brings us to the story of Lot's rescue from Sodom and the aftermath of that destruction, as we compare and contrast the personalities of Noah, Lot, and Avraham.  Is there something from the text that justifies the traditional relativization of Noah's righteousness as compared to Avraham's? What explanation can we offer for Noah's decline after the flood? What does Noah's righteousness consist of, and what is his response to the Divine signal that it is time to rebuild the world?

   We discover different - and unequal - models of righteousness: Noah's is about survival and obedience, but Avraham's involves the important element of caring about the world.
