A Perfect Tzaddik: Parashat Noach
Rabbi Yaron Reuven brings a chiddush on Parashat Noach on a Hebrew word in the first verse in the Parasha: Tamim. Avot d’Rabbi Natan 2:5 says this means Noach was born circumcised. Adam HaRishon, Shet, Noach, Shem (Malkitzedek), Moshe, David HaMelech, the Prophet Jeremiah, and even Bilaam HaRasha were all born circumcised!
What made Noach righteous in his generation, what's the significance to being born circumcised, and why did Chizkiyahu HaMelech destroy so many things the people thought were good?
