Parshas Noach - Lessons & Inspiration by Dr. Rubie Minkowitz

This Parsha begins with the Mabul a destruction to destroy Hamas on this world - It ends with light of Avraham being born  - ⁠ We are his children, & we should proclaim GD existence in this world, as he did               The title Tzadik is somone who saves the world  Noach and Yosef have that distinction        Yet, We call Noah, the Tzadik in a coat...Because in a freezing room, you could either put a coat on or light a fire to warm everyone!               Noach put the coat on since he only saved his family - Avraham went out lit a fire and changed humanity. That is why he is our forefather  What triggers you? The people we encounter in our life are our mirrors. If you see a problem in someone likely you have the same issue. The lesson of Noah’s sons who were not triggered, they focused on how they could help their father         GD creates everyone with deficiencies and we are told not to kill because the other person is made in the image of GD צהר     A special light used to light up the ark and shine through the darkness & flood - if you take the letters and flip them it is צרה grief… in your hardship help someone & shine a light to them with a similar experience and this will help you heal as well - BalShemTov May we see צהר the light of Moshiach to make this the sweetest month!
