Parashat Noach 5783: The Great Flood

The great flood in Noah's time destroyed all life on earth. But how could G-d have created a world, and then regret having created it? Noah alone was found worthy of restarting the family of man. What was so special about Noah?
The Torah portion of Noach ( Genesis 6 : 9 - 11 : 32 ) is read on Shabbat, MarCheshvan 4, 5783 - October 29, 2022

Thank you, Rabbi Richman, as always, for an illuminating commentary. I love that we all have the capacity to be righteous like Noah. The choice, the responsibility to do good in this world is on our hands. A wonderful contemplation to usher in Shabbat. Shabbat Shalom!

Thank you, my dear Professor, and greetings from Brazil. I live in a northern Rio de Janeiro state city, where there is no Synagogue close by. Your lectures are immensely appreciated and help me keep my daily portion.
We have a demand - very particularly to Brazil, where many descendants of Jews were converted - forcibly - for Christianity and when we 'hear the call' if I would say, we face a situation of no community whatsoever.
We lean over your help and guidance. Thank you once more.

Thank you for another insightful video. Would you please 🙏 reply to the idea that there were other worlds prior to the creation of the world we live in & the physics "other worlds" theory. Also, verses that state we shouldn't ignore G-ds voice if we hear him today otherwise like with Pharoah, G-d will actually prevent us from doing good.

בקשר לפרשת נח: מדוע לרוב הגברים נולדו ילדים בגיל 30? האם צריך לחלק אותו ב-2? אני בטוח שלנו שאבות אבות לא חיכו עד גיל 30, אז הם יכלו להביא ילדים בגיל 15. מאוד מעניין.

[@markbr5898]

Thank you for this. If Noah advanced agriculture, why would it be that eating animals was specifically permitted to his generation?

[@edelgyn2699]

Hmm, I have difficulty with your suggestions because you seem to be suggesting that Hashem thinks and behaves like a human being - we go back to thinking of the Divine as an old man in the sky and that seems somewhat limiting...

[@alessandrofrioli6978]

And why Torah says that the Bnei Elohim had intercourse with the daughter's of man? If they were only man why Torah mentioned like that?

[@mariedejager6887]

Shabbat Shalom
