Thank you so much, Rabbi Breitowitz for your very insightful shiur. Amazing learning about Noach- the 3 questions were very clearly laid out and explained! Truly, your brilliance in Torah is commendable! May Hashem continue to bless you and your family!
Thank you, Rabbi! This is a wonderful Dvar Torah and your perspective on this parasha warms my heart and illuminates it . I have been looking at this parasha all week and you have brought the many thoughts about it together making all of its jewels into a crown!
If we are supposed to give our fellows - le kav schus - why didn't the great commentators do the same - for Noah? IOW, he did everything possible to achieve the best results, despite the actions of the world and his own weaknesses!
thanks very much for a wonderful shiur! I was wondering how it's possible to say that he was "tamim" after the flood give the story about him getting drunk. the Torah says seems to imply that he didn't act correctly?
Excellent points on science, Rabbi. Science IS a religion, always demanding homage and obedience, no matter how corrupted or incomplete their "evidence" and "theories" are. Why should we ever have adjust Torah to fit science? Science needs to adjust to fit Torah. Also good teaching on Noach. The criticism and constant comparison of Noach to Avraham is unbalanced and harsh. They lived in completely different environments, and Noach did become the tzaddik tamim. Your insight has brought balance to a narrative that has been misunderstood and misrepresented for too long.
If Noach was the ONLY righteous man in his generation, and in Hashim's eyes, why are all the derogatory comments by Rabbi Breitowitz pointed at him? Abraham argued only for the righteous with Hashim in the first place.
To your last point: Noah could not have been a Tamim because in his generation they were not ready to receive his kindness! You cannot force mercy and kindness on anyone. They have to VOLUNTARILY be open to receive it! So therefore, had he lived in the generation of Abraham, he certainly would have been able to do likewise!
WHY give a possibly INSULTING view of - if Noah had been in a generation with OTHER righteous people, he wouldn't have been ANYTHING SPECIAL!? Why not just say he would have still been righteous, but perhaps, not as much. See the QUALITATIVE DIFFERENCE? IOW, logically, that's a correct alternative - but realistically - why use an INSULTING COMPARISON?
What a beautiful gift of Torah we get every week from Rabbi Breitowitz.
Toda rabba top Rabbi Breitowitz and yibone for the weekly paraschat haSchawua Portion. For this Holly light.

His Torah Wisdom is incredible and he definitely knows how to teach in such a sweet and meaningful way
Thank you Rabbi!
I've seen the Torah at it's height. Underneath, the truth is simple, but it's brilliantly covered.
I love all my family. We all present of God we all together. Thinking how lovely
Thank you Rav!!!
I learned Noach all week and I still benefited greatly from this shiur that I listened to on Motzei Shabbos!
יישר כוחחחח
Unique perspective. Thank you
As usual. Thank you. This was amazing... Los Angeles
Very interesting and profound in a very personal way for someone asked by Ha Shem to “start a Society of Noah”
תודה רבה
It’s like old school Christianity. I can’t explain it as a Christian. Very cool

Is Rabbi from Chabad?
No but he gives shiurim in Chabad schools

P.S. Avraham Avinu would have done similarly or the same, had he lived in Noah's generation!
He really puts the 'ch' in Noah
