The Torah reading this week : Noah
Summary:
We learned last week, in the opening passage of the Torah, that the human being was intended to be “G-d’s image on earth.” But now we find G-d deeply regretting the creation of the human being, since “… humankind is filled with corruption and violence!” G-d notices, however, the basic goodness of Noah and his family and resolves to begin human history again through them.
Noah hears a call from on high: “Noah! … A flood is coming that will wipe out the human race! … Build an ark so that you and your family will survive, along with two of every creature that lives upon the earth!” Following the flood, G-d makes peace with the human being as an imperfect and flawed creature. And this loving act of acceptance allows human history to continue!
Shabbat Shalom!
