Parshas Noach: Vertlach on Noach and the Mabul

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Rashi brings a machlokes on b'dorosav, and a question from the Chiddushei HaLev shows that mocking the truth is often a defense against it. At the end of the parsha, the builders of the Migdal Bavel show how far unity can carry even a bad purpose.

Key points

• One reading of the negative view of b'dorosav: it is how Noach saw himself.
• The Chiddushei HaLev learns the generation's threat shows they knew Noach's words were true.
• The Chofetz Chaim learns from the Migdal Bavel how much power achdus carries.
