<![CDATA[<p><strong>NOACHWho's flaw is it?</strong></p><p><strong>The painful ending to Noah's life.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>When we notice a problem in another person, does it really exist in him, or is it coming from within us, as the Gemara says, "he disqualifies others with his own blemish?"</p><p> Is our job to rebuke the other, or is the other a mirror, sent from Above to remind us what needs fixing in ourselves? This week the Torah gives a clear answer through the sons of Noach. But first we must face the great puzzle of the parsha: Noach begins higher than anyone in all of Tanach, the only person the Torah ever calls a "tzaddik,"; yet his story ends in the most painful way of all.</p>
