Parashas Noach · Vineyard · Passuk 9:20
Noach, the man of the soil, began and planted a vineyard.
Rashi on Genesis 9:20 — “vayachel” as self-profanation; Rashi cites Bereshit Rabbah 36:3.
Sefaria — Rashi on Genesis 9:20
English: “And he began (vayachel)” — he made himself profane (chullin); he should have occupied himself first with planting something else.
Custom (lexical derasha of vayachel / priority of plantings).
Noach’s first post-Flood agricultural act should not have been the vineyard; by beginning with wine he degraded himself.
