Welcome to Parasha Noach (Noah), this week’s Torah portion.
This is the portion of Scripture that will be read in synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. We invite you to read along with us; we know you will be blessed as you rediscover the importance of covenant and unity!
NOACH (Noah / Rest)
Genesis 6:9–11:32; Isaiah 54:1–55:5; Luke 1:5–80
This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.” (Genesis 6:9)
This model of Noah's Ark was created in the Netherlands by Johan
Huibers, who used the measurements found in Genesis 6 as a guide.
Last week in Parasha Bereisheet, Adam and Chava (Eve) were exiled from the Garden of Eden because of sin. They became fruitful and multiplied, as God intended, but sin manifested in their son Cain when he murdered his brother Abel.
Tragically, Cain did not take the opportunity God gave him to God). Murder manifested five generations later in his descendant Lamech, who also refused to repent.
So God said to Noah, I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence [hamas] because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.’” (Genesis 6:13)
