Noah B’resheet/Genesis 6:9-11:32

Torah Portion:  Noah B’resheet/Genesis 6:9-11:32

HafTorah: Isaiah 54:1-55:5

Today we study the saga of the flood and in some ways the beginning again with Noah and his family. We also read of the animals that entered into the ark. I would like to begin with a look at the word translated in English as ark. In Hebrew this word is “tevah,” which has a number of meanings. Here it is used to describe a wooden box. This is a very large box some 450 feet long.
