In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Wolbe explores Parshas Noach, focusing on Noah’s righteousness, the flood, and the ark’s survival (Genesis 7:23). He delves into Rashi’s comment about Noah’s lion bite, Talmudic insights on divine image and heavenly intent, and the generational impact of biblical figures. Key themes include:
• Noah’s Righteousness and Flaw: Noah’s tireless care for animals for a year without sleep reflects his righteousness, but a minor delay in feeding a sick lion led to a bite, showing even small lapses affect one’s divine image (Talmud Shabbat, Sanhedrin) (1:07–6:19).
• Heavenly Intent: Actions must be for heaven’s sake, not personal gain. Noah’s dedication, despite the bite, parallels the principle that pure intent is credited as action, as seen in consistent charity habits (6:19–8:17).
• Generational Impact: Abraham’s service to angels was mirrored by Hashem for the Jewish people, impacting seven generations to Moshe. Noah’s preservation of life laid humanity’s foundation, showing our actions shape descendants (ma’aseh avot siman l’banim) (9:45–13:21).
• Land of Israel: The Torah’s promise to Abraham’s lineage refutes modern claims (e.g., Ishmael’s precedence), reinforcing Noah’s role in ensuring humanity’s continuity (14:40–15:58).
• Foundational Moments: Early education (e.g., Vilna Gaon), marriage, and habits are critical, like Noah’s foundational work. Beginnings are hard but shape future generations, as seen in prayers for Torah’s sweetness (16:49–22:00).
