In today's Friday morning "Machshavah Lab" shiur for women (10/28/22), we took up a question I had never noticed before: Why doesn't Noach have any more kids after the flood? In this shiur we build a case from Rashi's reading of the pesukim which argues that Noach INTENTIONALLY refrained from having more kids - a decision which was initially endorsed by Hashem, but which ultimately led to disastrous consequences, due to Noach's inexplicable decision to plant a vineyard instead of procreating. Oh, and there's also something weird going on with the animals and their sexual morality. Next week (בג"ה) we will attempt to answer the questions we raised in this shiur.
