Shalom and Welcome. Tonight we will examine the prophecy of Noah, the second prophet to appear in the Torah. As our attention to the language of the experience of Noah, and other prophecies, heightens, we see some unexpected phrases that reveal the difficulties Noah faced. The text announces how great is Noah, and how evil is his generation. God warns Noah several times of the destruction, and what He will do, and what Noah must do to save himself and his family. And not a word of protest from Noah? Did he not think to pray for the generation? How can he be a tzakik yesod olam and not pray for his people? What did Noah know? Why does God not mention the generation again? Perhaps there are things the Torah does not want us to know? Even a prophet? Are we ready for such limitations?
Look forward to seeing all of you on Webyeshiva.org, 8pm. Jerusalem
