When should we give ourselves a break—and when should we ask more of ourselves? Rabbi Pam Silk explores this question through Parashat Noach and the ancient rabbis’ differing views of Noah’s righteousness. Noah did what God asked, but could he have done more for the people around him? Connecting Noah’s story to our relationships, work, and everyday responsibilities, Rabbi Silk invites us to consider what it means to be our best selves—not by measuring up to someone else, but by recognizing when we have more to give and when enough really is enough.
