Noaḥ: One Flood | Noah

from Parsha-ly Crazy · host Matthew Ponak, Joel Goldstein & Rebecca Croog

Was Noah a righteous hero, or the original spiritual bypasser? And what kind of God destroys the world in a flood? This week, Joel Goldstein, Rebecca Croog, and Matthew Ponak dive into Parashat Noaḥ (Genesis), exploring Noah's complicated legacy, the ethics of divine destruction, and what ancient stories reveal about our evolving relationship with God. Along the way: Hasidic mysticism, biblical criticism, Noah's loneliness, the Tower of Babel, the Borg from Star Trek, and some surprisingly serious questions about technology, individuality, and eating meat. Is Noah a model of righteousness or a cautionary tale? And can one flood story hold three very different understandings of Torah? Follow Parsha-ly Crazy so you don't miss the next episode.
