- Why is this Parsha read in the month of Cheshvan?
- What is the connection between the flood and a mikveh?
- Why did G-d destroy the entire world in the great flood and not just the sinners?
- Is it possible that G-d will destroy the world because of today’s terrorists and their supporters as He did in the time of the flood?
- What was the difference between Noach and Abraham?

Miracle of Flight 1073
