Because I Have Fallen…I Have Risen - R. Avrohom Walkin - TorahAnytime.com

I'm afraid from the sun and moon that not even work correctly. There was no light coming in at certain times. What was the purpose of this window and what would Noah see looking through this window? So the Bali Musar want to say that the reason there was this window was because yes, Noach was in a teivah. It wasn't maybe ideal even though he had Ruach Hakodesh the entire time he was there and I'm sure the spirituality in the teivah, the whole world was in this ark. People tell Chazal tell us that actually the ark was like a mikdash ma'at. It was like a little Beit Hamikdash, like a little mishkan. And that's why the word aron and teivah teivah's aron are are combined. You had the aron also with a teivah, with an ark. So there were a lot of ruchniyus going on. But Noach to some degree knew he was safe with his family. He's starting a new world under the Eibishter's tutelage. He's starting a whole new world. But he needed a window because of yes, you are right now comfortable to some degree, you're safe, but know there's destruction out there. There was a world that got destroyed. Yes, they could have Not could have, the Eibishter said they did deserve it. Yeah, they deserved it. But just because they deserved it and you're safe in your teivah, know that there's suffering out there. Know there's a destruction cuz the way to build is by understanding there's destruction. We know that when Hashem created the world it says "Vayehi erev vayehi voker yom echad." There was night and day, one day. Chazal tell us there was no separate creation of a night of a day called of one day which was night and one day that was light, which was day. It was one day. Vayehi erev vayehi voker. Night even preceded daytime. Night and day. Why? Cuz where there's darkness, there's light. And where there's light, there's darkness. It's one entity. We need to understand that when we battle in this world, whatever we battle, the eitzahs of the world, the difficulties we have in our lives, whatever we battle, know that we're battling but there's light and darkness together and it's one entity and we need to embrace the darkness the way we embrace the light. Know that part of our falling is part of our rising. David Amelch said "K falty kamti" cuz I've fallen I've risen. Whatever I'm David David's holy Kadusha the level that he fell, whatever that means, he said because I have fallen I've risen. And tell us If I never would have fallen I never would have risen to the heights. So we need to embrace the difficulties in our lives. We need to embrace the the darkness, the seeming darkness that will turn into light. But when it's dark we embrace it and Noah was given was told to build a window cuz it's light for you in the ark. Right? In a certain way. But there's darkness out there in the world and need to understand when you build this new world, when you rebuild this new world, rebuild it with an understanding that there's darkness and difficulties and we all go through it, but we all one day like Noah opened up the ark, the teva, and there was a whole new world, a new beginning to our dark
