“Evan Almighty” — A Rabbi’s View
By Rabbi Brad Hirschfield
 

"Perfect timing. The film tells a story that so many in the country are feeling -- distrust of the left and right, and desperation for things to get better globally, but the feeling that it won’t. It reflects our deep desire to build our own little arks to escape."

"The film will find an audience among religious people, because deeply religious people should be hopeful. Whatever faith one comes from, the traditions teach that not only can things get better, they will. The only question is how? Ironically, it is never through abandonment"

"Upbeat understanding of the Ark story. For all of the badness in the world, the Ark can’t set sail until everything that had been in that world is guaranteed a place in the new world after the flood. All of the animals and people embodied by Noah’s family are saved."

"The Ark story isn’t about wiping everything out in order to start over. It is about the possibility of starting over with what we have, no matter how damaged and negative it appears. If God can feel that way about a world that needs to be destroyed, maybe we should treat each other in that way."

"The challenge to make things work isn’t about who you exclude, but how many people you can include. And while that will always have limits, it’s a good consciousness from which to start."
Rabbi Brad Hirschfield is quoted in both of these published articles:
