Noah’s experience during the flood it was not exactly akin to a year-long cruise. There wasn’t a lot of relaxing poolside with a pina colada. In fact, for an entire year, Noah and Co did not even have a proper sleep. They were consumed with work, tending to all the animals and there diverse feeding schedules. The ark itself was tumultuous, constantly turning over like boiling lentils. The quarters were cramped, the stench of the animals unbearable, and the noise ear splitting. Why was Noah subjected such a miserable year in the ark? What is the deeper meaning behind Noah’s year in the ark? In this Parsha podcast, we share two perspectives that radically reshape our understanding of Noah and his time in the ark.
