📅 Weekly Torah portion — Noach

• First Aliyah — Noach and his generation

  Noach is described as a righteous man in a corrupt generation. God announces the Flood and commands him to build an ark to preserve his family and the animal species.

  👉 For remaining righteous in the face of corruption and protecting one’s home through obedience to God.

• Second Aliyah — Entering the ark

  Noach enters the ark with his family and the animals, in accordance with the divine command. After seven days, the waters of the Flood begin to cover the earth.

  👉 For protection of the home, trust in God, and preparation before a trial.

• Third Aliyah — The waters of the Flood

  The waters intensify until they cover the mountains. All land-based life outside the ark perishes, while Noach and those with him are preserved.

  👉 For deliverance from danger and commitment to life and responsibility.

• Fourth Aliyah — God remembers Noach

  God remembers Noach; the waters recede and the ark rests on the mountains of Ararat. The raven and then the dove are sent to determine whether the earth is habitable again.

  👉 For mercy after hardship and for receiving a sign of hope.

• Fifth Aliyah — Leaving the ark and the covenant

  Noach leaves the ark and brings offerings. God promises never again to destroy all life through a flood and restores the cycle of seasons, day, and night.

  👉 For gratitude after deliverance, stability, and renewal of life.

• Sixth Aliyah — The rainbow

  God establishes His covenant with Noach and all humanity. The rainbow becomes the enduring sign of this covenant and of divine mercy.

  👉 For peace, faithfulness to commitments, and protection of the world.

• Seventh Aliyah — Babel and the origins of Abraham

  After the account of Noach and his sons, the nations develop. The Tower of Babel leads to the dispersion of peoples and the confusion of languages; the genealogy then continues to Abram.

  👉 For using unity in the service of good, avoiding collective pride, and preparing a future of emunah.

• 📖 Haftarah — Isaiah 54–55

  Isaiah compares Jerusalem’s future deliverance to the covenant made with Noach. God promises a covenant of peace, His mercy, and the return of those who sincerely seek Him.

  👉 For consolation, peace, mercy, and return to God.
