  • What was the goal of the people involved in building the Tower of Bavel, and why did Hashem feel a need to foil their plans?
  • What does it mean to be a "גִבֹּר צַיִד לִפְנֵי ה'‏‎"‏‏‎ and what does this teach about Nimrod's character?
  • If Cham "saw" Noach's nakeness, why was Canaan cursed?
