Torah Thoughts from Rabbi Doug…
Parshat
Noach
“These are the generations of Noach, Noach was a
completely righteous man in his generation,
Noach walked with G-d.” (Genesis 6:9)
In his generation: There are those from our
sages that learn this as an expression of praise: How much more so had he
been in a generation of righteous people he would have been even more
righteous. There are others that learn this as a- denigration: In relation to
his generation he was righteous. Had he been in the generation of Avraham
though, he would not have been considered worthy whatsoever. (Rashi) These
and these, they are both the words of the living G-d! (Eruvin 13B) How can
both statements about Noach be true? Was Noach righteous or not? If we weigh
the difficulty factor, considering that he had to resist the enormous
corruptive influences swirling about him and we project that without the
social pressure of those head-winds he would have striven even farther, then
he could have been an equal to Avraham However, when we become aware that
Noach had no proactive program to reach and save the doomed population of his
time as Avraham did in his day and age, then albeit he was a loyal and
dutiful servant of G-d but he was not quite of the stature of Avraham. Can we
ever know how he would have been in the time of Avraham? Was he righteous in
spite of his generation or only relative to his generation? HASHEM could have
placed him in Avraham’s exact time period to test the thesis but since
history took a certain road all we may ever know is that “Noach was a
completely righteous man in his generation.”

Summary of Parshat Noach By, Rabbi Doug Zelden
Genesis 6:9 - In the HERTZ CHUMASH pg.26
1st Aliya:
Noach, a righteous man “B’dorosav”,
is introduced in contrast to a generation that "has perverted its
ways". Hashem instructs him to build, and outfit the Ark.
2nd Aliya:
Noach is told to enter the Ark along with all the animals. On Cheshvan 17,
1656 - October 27, 2106 b.c.e the flood began. Pg.27 Ch.7:1
3rd Aliya:
For 40 days and nights the waters increased, destroying
all living things. The water raged upon the surface of the earth for
150 days, and then diminished for the next 150. On Nissan 17, May 23,
the Ark rested upon Mt.Ararat. Noach sends out the Raven and then
the Dove, and on Cheshvan 27,October 27, exactly 1 solar year after
it began, the earth was dry. Pg.29
V.17
4th Aliya:
Noach and his family exit the Tayvah, and offer sacrifices to Hashem. They
are commanded to keep the 7 Noahide mitzvos. Pg.31 Ch.8:15
5th Aliya: Hashem
promises to never again destroy the world and designates the rainbow as the
symbol of that covenant. Pg.33
Ch.9:8
6th Aliya: The
story of Noach, the vineyard, and the subsequent blessings and curses is related.
The descendants of Cham, Yefes, and Canaan are listed. Pg.34 V.18
7th Aliya: The
story of the Tower of Babel in 1996 and Nimrod's world dominance is told. The 10 generations of Shem, culminating in the
introduction of Avram and Sarai, are listed. The year is 2023. Note that Avram was 48 years old when the Tower of Babel took place and he
was 56 years old when Noach died. Pg.38
Ch.11:1
Maftir Aliyah: We
repeat the last 4 verses. Pg.40
Ch.11:29
Haftorah Noach Pg.
41 The Prophet: Isaiah 54:1 - 55:5
This Shabbos we read chapter 54 in Yishayuhu that describes Israel in the
aftermath of the destruction of the Bais Hamikdash as afflicted, barren, and
inconsolable. The Navi assures the people that Hashem's kindness and love for
them is ever present, protecting, and sustaining. This is the same Haftorah
as Parshas Ki Tetzay. (the 4th Haftorah of Consolation) Pasuk 54:9 refers to
the destruction of Yerushalayim as "...this is like the waters of Noach
to me..." The Navi lets us know that destruction occurs when Hashem's
kindness and protection is removed from the world and from Israel. "For
a brief moment I forsook you..." (54:7) "...for a moment I hid my
face from you..." (54:8) The Navi concludes with the reassurance that
Hashem remembers His covenant with the world and the Chosen People.
Consequences are the result of Hashem's presence being more or less manifest
in society. The degree to which we reveal Hashem's influence in our lives is
the degree to which His protection and supervision is realized. Our job is to
reveal Hashem through doing His commandments and learning His Torah.
