Parsha:
Noach 

Description

The prohibition against murder, one the seven Mitzvot commanded of all humanity, has been on our minds here in Israel in recent weeks. The Torah specifically connects the commandment to the notion that we are all created "Bzelem Elokim" - in God's image. This week, we discuss whether there was a moral and legal code before the time of Noach, and how we can cope and grow during such a challenging time.
