This is another important detail left out of the movie, which leads to a series of events that end similarly to the Biblical story, but also differ in a few ways. At its core, the…

Baal Shem Tov knew what he was talking about since he lived at the time when the mass pogroms against the defenseless Jewish population of Eastern Europe was a norm. It was an adherence to their traditions and their God that allowed the Jews to survive against…

What a great feat it was to be able to share this epic story of a widely known, often childish, story of duty and faith. Noah’s Arc is often…
