Parashat Noach: Generational Problems| Rabbi Shai Finkelstein

The building of the Tower of Babel is discussed in vague terms – the reason for building the tower and city, the identity of those involved, the nature of the sin, and the meaning of the punishment all remain uncertain. We will examine different interpretations of the story and try to draw conclusions about the challenges of our own generation. What can we internalize from this story to make our world a better place?
