Noach
The Parsha begins with Noach being a Tzaddik in his generation amongst a people full of corruption.
Hashem commands him to build a wooden Teiva coated with pitch on both sides as He plans to bring a Mabul to destroy the world except for those inside the Teiva. Noach is told to bring his wife, his 3 sons Shem, Cham, and Yafes, and their wives, into the Teiva as well as a pair of every living creature and 7 pairs of Kosher animals. It rains for 40 days and nights and then another 150 days before the waters start to go down. Noach sends out a raven first to look for dry land with no luck. He later sends a dove again with no luck. The third time he sends a dove and it returns with an olive leaf in its mouth. He sends a fourth time and the bird does not return. When the ground dries Hashem tells Noach to leave the Teiva and populate the world. Hashem says he will never again destroy the world with a Mabul and uses a rainbow as the sign. Noach is taught that life is holy and that man cannot murder. Man can eat animal's meat but not while it is alive. Noach plants a vineyard and get's drunk from the wine produced and uncovers himself. His son Cham shames him while his other 2 sons Shem and Yafes walk backwards as not to see him and put a cover on him. Cham is cursed.. Ten Generations later the descendants of Noach decide to build a tower to the heavens to show their strength. Although they all speak one language, Hashem confuses their languages and they all now speak a different language and it causes them to end their tower building project. They spread out and split into seventy nations. The parshah then lists the 10 generations from Noach to Avraham. (Adapted from In a Nutshell by Chabad.org)
