Parsha: Noach - The Flood and The Fish (5783)

From Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Podcast Collection TORCH

The Flood was a disaster for all the Earth's inhabitants, humans and animals alike. With the exception of Noah and his family and the animals safely housed in the Ark, all the land-based animals died in the Flood. But not the fish. The fish were completely unaffected by the Flood. The sources maintain that the animals had become corrupted in the run-up to the flood and thus deserved to be destroyed, but the fish did not corrupt their ways and thus were not destroyed. In this very special edition of the Parsha Podcast we probe the interesting state of sea life during the antediluvian period, the Flood, and it's aftermath, and draw an exquisite idea that helps explain Noah, his greatness, his shortfalls, and what we are supposed to derive from this Parsha.
