The Diamond and The Window
Note that this post is not called The Diamond in the Window (book by Jane Langton). It’s a post about Noah, who was considered a righteous man in his generation.
So here’s the question: was Noah a righteous individual who might have not been so great in a different generation or was a shining light unto all the generations? And why is he looking at this diamond?
Or maybe he’s really looking out the window:
For the answer to these and other tantalizing questions, you will have to visit my friend’s Harry’s post Noach – Is righteousness relative?
The illustrations of Noah with diamond and window were executed by me (with some critical helpful feedback from my daughter) with pen, ink, and then a lot of playing in Photoshop. The aim was whimsical and playful.

Nice illustrations.

Interesting question. I like Harry's suggestion that maybe there are no answers just an encouragement to look inside our own selves.

I think those are the kinds of parsha posts I like (and I gather Harry does as well), the sort that makes one think and reflect.
And in addition, for me, the ones that make me want to illustrate.
