What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Living with Emunah - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

generation s high elohim walked with god the torah the torah tells us and promises us there are two legacies of noah and each year we we remind people of this and of course rashi famously quotes it was relative to his generation was he subjectively righteous or was noah objectively righteous is this something just compared to the corruption of his time but if he lived in a normal time with otherwise normally moral and ethical people there would be moral and ethical people there would be nothing special about now or no noah is extraordinary and noah is exceptional and noah deserves to be acknowledged for that it's an age-old debate it goes back till the time probably of noah himself and earlier this is not anything new to us and every year there are the noah haters and every year there are the noah lovers and the two perspectives of noah but i may have mentioned before the other high-end points out something interesting if you look at rashi rashi tells us among our teachers we have those who teach if in that generation that morally corrupt an empty generation noah was righteous all the more so he would be righteous in another generation some of our teachers some of our leaders dorsham they uh learn from the pastor and there are others who use the same and there are others who use the same puzzle to conclude the opposite kosher to say that what the feed sadak relative to his generation he was righteous but if he lived in the generation of avram he'd be a gornish he wouldn't measure up to anything does it occur to you does it occur to you the following why does it say ishmael the first interpretation says there are among our teachers who learn it positively and then it says yes darshan there are those who learn at lignai
