Sure, so the Flood that covered the highest mountains all over the world according to the text was actually a just a local disaster that covered none of mountains of the world. That's fine, contrary to the text, but fine. Now, what's the rational part of all the world's species going for a ride in a ship?
I just read the pesukim again to confirm that they actually don't say what you claim they do. Clear your mind of preconceptions and listen to the actual words this Shabbat.
Incidentally, in light of all this discussion about the "proper" memorial day, someone looked up The New York Times for December 7, 1942- the one-year anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. (The event was mentioned year after year for decades; the emphasis may have decreased over the last few years but I imagine it's still mentioned.) The paper on that day was full of news of the war. Pearl Harbor was not mentioned once.
Israelis have a thing about memorializing, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, or a completely bad thing. Many get a sort of catharsis out of it, and it is valuable in and of itself. But it's not necessarily a natural thing, particularly while the war is still ongoing.
A post that’s not about Charedim! The trolls are bound to be disappointed ;)
If we have a few more posts like this in a row, it will be a sign that he is getting therapy.
If you're able to avoid obsessing over my posts, it will be a sign that you're getting therapy.
Ooh, nice comeback

Awesome news. Those ark paintings in your museum were one of my highlights!
Which part of parshat Noach is the rational part?
You never heard of floods with huge numbers of casualties? One of them took place in the United States only a couple of weeks ago.
