" The people Vs

                Noah " Was a Biblical Story, brought into a Modern Day Trial in the Magnificent and Legendary  NYC sanctuary  Temple Emanu- El on 5th Ave. The Temple dubbed the Royals Royce of G0ds Houses, is home to the Who's who of Reform Jews, that include  Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Zuker, Ace Greenberg Etc. Roughly 2000  Spectators packed the Temple to serve as " Jurors" for the Dramatic trial, at over $50 Bones a head, That made for a lot of Cheese. The place reeked of Class,and one reader would have been in Heaven sitting amongst the mostly geriatric and opulent crowd. As we were ushered to our seats, we were handed Guilty, Non Guilty cards, and instructed to wait until all arguments were over before submitting our vote.  My Two favorite things to do at these  kind of events, initiating the clapping ovations, and trying to keep track of the levels and sounds of the Throat clearer's, Thankfully to the weather change, the crowd did not disappoint.....  In an Unfamiliar Role, noted Defense Attorney Alan Dershowitz Served as the Prosecutor Arguing that Noah was  Selfish and complacent in G0ds Genocidal plan to flood the Earth, as he failed to warn the world of the Tragedy that was going to bestow upon them. The Defense Chaired by Former Senator and Fellow Yale law School Alumni Joe Lieberman.Whom reminded us, the almost 2000 Jurors that the Prosecution needed prove their case beyond a Reasonable Doubt and that Noah is innocent until proven otherwise, arguing he was a Just man, and that G0d is not on trial here. Former W. Bush  Attorney general Michael Mukasey served as the Judge, and oversaw the Trial as if it were a real court room. With his court room grandeur, everyone agreed that  Dershowitz made a more compelling case, However Noah Was voted, Not Guilty by a 1299- 587 count. Walking out we were treated to " Rich peoples" Croissants and Danishes and told to stay tune for next Years Biblical Trial.   The People Vs Joseph's brother's or the more obscure case of the People V Pinhas, Which would be more suitable, except most people are Unaware of whom Pinhas was, let alone a whole Torah Portion, I know that from my Bar Mitzvah............
