The story of Noah is well known, and there are endless debates about the character of Noah: was he righteous in an absolute sense, or just in a relative one? Perhaps it does not matter; it may even be more courageous to be an ordinary person in an evil time, than a righteous person in a good time.
I'd like to focus on the rainbow -- God's promise that He would never destroy the world again (Genesis 8:11-17). So far, despite all of the hardship and horror we human beings have wrought, God has kept His promise to humanity.
At the start of the pandemic, literally days after the first shutdown orders, I saw the most spectacular rainbows over my house and my American flag one morning. It's unusual to see rain in L.A., especially in the morning, but there they were -- the beautiful renewals of God's promise, and right on time, just as the world seemed under threat, as we all worried whether this was really it.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
