We’re into just the second portion of the Torah with Noah. For those of us remembering days in Hebrew School, this is the story of the Flood, events that led up to it, and Noah’s instructions from God to build an ark for his family and many animals.

In this episode, we’ll delve into what we know about Noah. Why was he chosen? Many of our sages say that compared to someone like Abraham, for example, Noah falls short. I'll come to Noah's defense in this episode!
