Listen "(02) Does the Flood Story Hold Water?"
Episode Synopsis
We've known the story of Noah and the Ark since we were babies. Do we as Jews believe it really happened? And if it didn't, why is it in the Torah? Armed with studies in classics and science, Jonathan and Sophia join Rafi to challenge the veracity of the flood and discover a surprising message for today's #climatecrisis era. For further study, Rafi's book Questioning Belief contains a chapter dedicated to the story of the flood, as well as more chapters exploring the veracity of other Torah stories. It's available on Amazon by Rabbi Dr Raphael Zarum. Visit lsjs.ac.uk to continue learning with Rabbi Zarum and other LSJS educators.
