Lekh Lekha

When we reach the story of Abraham, we have the feeling that we are approaching a completely new dimension in the relationship between God and man.

Noach

כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֱלֹהִים, אֶת-נֹחַ

as God commanded Noach.

We usually have the feeling that Noach isn’t as great as the other men mentioned in the Torah. Although he is described “a just man and perfect in his generations” (Bereshit 10:9), the degree of his righteousness is much discussed in the different Midrashim. Some of the [...]
