On October 3 the New York Times published an article titled Cheap Debt for Corporations Fails to Spur Economy. The article discussed how big companies are stockpiling their cash until they see an improvement in the economy.
“They are still holding on to more cash in the same way that Noah built the ark,” said David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff & Associates in Toronto. “It is very telling.”

Noah's ark? What has that got to do with the article? But, Noah's Ark did have a connection to the Torah portion of the week. The same week that Jews throughout the world were reading Parshat Noah in the synagogue and learning Divrei Torah associated with the portion of the week, the New York Times was there to remind us that the Parsha of the Torah is just as applicable today as when it was written thousands of years ago.
