  1. Survival and Revival - On the Righteousness of Noah

    Rabbi Chanoch Waxman

    Noah is introduced as a wholly righteous man, but ends his life drunk and humiliated. How does such a tragedy occur? A comparative read of the stories of the Flood and the destruction of Sodom reveals that Noah's failure stems from the fact that he didn't seek to help those around him, in contrast with Avraham, who attempts to help even the sinners of Sodom.

  8. Tehillim 107 and the Meaning of the Inverted "Nun" of Tanach

    Rabbi Yitzchak Twersky |

    We ask how it is possible to witness spectacular miracles and still end up as Dor HaMidbar. We examine the story of Noah and conclude that what is critical is human choice and action - what we do with what God shows us. Looking at the phenomenon Nun Hafukha (the “upside down Nun”) primarily through Mizmor 107 in Tehillim, we will build a large picture view of what the upside down nuns are, what they are about, what the message is, and why they appear in Tanakh where they do.

    In this lecture, we will attempt to provide a new perspective on the classic question of the “righteousness” of Noah. Together we will make a careful comparison of the central characters and motifs of both the flood narrative and the story of the destruction of Sedom.
