Why did Noah plant a vineyard after the flood? What does it mean that the righteous man who preserved life after the Flood, became “a man of the soil”? A careful study of the story of Noah's vineyard illuminates the righteous man's vulnerability and his search for consolation, and conveys a deep lesson about human limitation, holy aspiration, and the unfinished beginning of a renewed world.

The Torah Portion of Noach (Genesis 6 : 9 - 11 : 32 ) is read on Shabbat, 6 MarCheshvan 5787 - October 17, 2026
