The Noah’s Ark Web page features high-resolution action photographs of animals, an “Ask Noah” feature, interesting factoids about individual species and Torah lessons culled from animal behavior.

For 300 days, Noah, his family and two of every non-kosher species of animal – minus those of the sea – and seven of every kosher one occupied a three-deck ark of wood.

Just what stories did Noah tell his children to pass the time?

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
A Peak Into The Human Psyche
Two nations are in your womb. Two governments will separate from inside you; the upper hand will go from one government to the other.
– Genesis 25:23

The Holy One, blessed be He, created two impulses, one good and the other evil.
– Talmud Berochot 61a

Like it or not, we are each engaged in a battle against our own set of mean genes. They are wily opponents too. Masters of the visceral, they control through satisfaction, pain, and pleasure.
– Dr.’s Terry Burnham and Jay Phelan Mean Genes

Destroy man’s desire to sin, our sages tell us, and you would destroy the world.
Not that anyone needs to sin. But one who lacks the desire to sin is not a citizen of this world. And without citizens, who will effect lasting change?
– Tzvi Freeman

As a child, Reb Herschel of Krakow was once scolded by his father for not arising early for prayer service. “I can’t help it,” complained the boy. “It’s that yetzer hara of mine. It keeps telling me to turn over and go back to sleep – that it’s too early to awake.”

Simchat Beit Hashoeva celebration.

During the days when the Temple was still standing in Jerusalem, a special ceremony was performed during Sukkot. This ceremony, called Beit Hashoeva, “the place of drawing water,” involved drawing water and pouring it on the altar. The ceremony was accompanied by a celebration, which involved dancing and juggling and was called “Simchat Beit Hashoeva.”

This ceremony is discussed at length in the Talmud, says Rabbi Laibel Blotner of Chabad of Mesa, in an e-mail. “The Talmud describes the ceremony as one that the streets of Jerusalem were lit up and the greatest Rabbis would participate in singing and dancing. The festivities would last throughout the night.”
