Was Noach a tremendous tzaddik? Yavneh Academy eighth-grade students gain ownership over their Chumash learning by debating Noach’s righteousness. Students prepared compelling arguments for why Noach may or may not be considered a great tzaddik and were then joined by administrators who acted as judges of the debate. The students displayed a beautiful understanding of the material and were then surprised with ‘rainbow’ cupcakes to celebrate their incredible learning.
