Text of excerpt, if available
The Torah teaches us that after Noah survived the flood and emerged from the arc, he built a vineyard, and shortly after reaping the fruits of his labor, he got drunk. And Noah, we are told, “was a righteous man in his generation.” We are not Noah. We are not righteous. And what will be with us? How will we behave with solid ground once again under our feet? How will we, once this virus is defeated, find balance between our trauma and a sudden newfound sense of technological and medical power, and human achievement? When the economy returns to its strength, how might it change us too? The Torah warns us: we will become drunk with power. And there is more.
