Noach: Microlooting and the Mabul

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text! Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 2-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 10/16/26 titled: Noach: Microlooting and the Mabul. Chazal say that theft sealed the fate of the Generation of the Flood. But what kind? Armed robbery? Kidnapping? The Yerushalmi says it was a type that’s becoming increasingly acceptable today. ----- The Torah content for the remainder of October has been sponsored by Naomi Schwartz Rothschild, who writes: "My stepmother was nifteres. She was a mother to me for almost 20 years. She called me her daughter. She was always positive and b'simchah. My Ima also helped and then took over my father's (z״l) Partners in Torah when he had difficulty and then couldn't do it all." May the memory of Chava Leah bas Tzivia Rochel be for a blessing. ----- If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider supporting my work via Patreon, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal — links below.
