Good morning and welcome. As we begin the story of Noah, we learn that he was a righteous man, complete in his generation. This introduction is crucial because it sets the tone for the narrative ahead. Rashi reminds us that when mentioning a righteous individual, we should share something praiseworthy about them, as their deeds speak volumes. Unlike other patriarchs, Noah's righteousness stands out against the backdrop of a corrupt generation, emphasizing his moral fortitude.
The text reveals that Noah's legacy isn't just about his survival but about the good deeds he embodied. His efforts to build the ark for 120 years serve as a testament to his dedication to God and humanity. Yet, despite his righteousness, the flood's impending doom reflects the dire consequences of collective immorality.
As we reflect on Noah's life, we are reminded that even in challenging times, we can find strength in our faith and actions. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
