G‑d instructs Noah—the only righteous man in a world consumed by violence and corruption—to build a large wooden teivah (“ark”), coated within and without with pitch. A great deluge, says G‑d, will wipe out all life from the face of the earth; but the ark will float upon the water, sheltering Noah and his family, and two members (male and female) of each animal species (and 7 of the “pure” species).

Come learn about the responsibility God assigned to the Jewish people to teach the Nations about the Oneness of God and to share the universal wisdom of Torah with them.

Our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer has been giving short weekly teaching on the Weekly Portion for the Temple Institute.

We are grateful to our friends at the Temple Institute who gave permission to provide Rabbi Meyer’s teachings here too.
