And if so, why shouldn’t we sin for the same reason? · Lessons from Noach o On what grounds did Hashem have the “right” to destroy Noach’s generation with a flood? o What did they do aboard the ark not to go crazy with cabin fever? o Were there kangaroos on Noach's ark? o How was waste disposed of on the ark? o What can we learn from the three floors in the ark? o If the purpose of bringing animals into Noach’s ark was to prevent their extinction, why would G-d allow thousands of species from becoming extinct since? o Why did G-d allow the consumption of meat after the flood? · Sukkos o Why do we say that it’s challenging to eat in a Sukkah when in Israel the weather is perfect that time of year? o What is the origin of the Sukkos ushpizin? · Chassidus question: Please explain the application of the Chet Etz HaDaas to our personal lives?
