We read in the Bible how, at the end of the Great Flood, the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat (which some identify as the Armenian Highlands). Since the Torah doesn’t ascribe any intrinsic holiness to Noah’s Ark, it is not at all surprising that once Noah left it, there isn’t any real

it comes to nations, or that He is out of touch when it comes
to carnal banquets, or that He sits in Heaven wringing His
hands when it comes to godless rulers (and foolish
presidents!) who make unfair, rash, or stupid decisions.
