Rabbi Reuven Kigel - Parashat Noach

okay we are here in the beautiful Hill of Lounge in Brew College behind the Israeli flag because that's what is on everyone's mind so I just want to say a few words from this week's para that hopefully will give us some phic some strength regarding the current situation so in this week's para right after the flood after the destruction and in uh part in peric vers Bas in uh the 8th chapter the 22nd verse Hashem says the following thing Hashem says that they will never cease from the world summer winter cold hot the seasons they'll always be there so what does that mean let's think about it hashem's telling us you know what I'm not going to destroy the world anymore but the seasons will always be here let's look deeper that means anytime that there's winter you know Spring's coming anytime there's spring you know Fall's coming anytime there's fall you know that the Winter's uh is close by so we have winter spring summer fall all the seasons the cold the hot that's always going to be here that means life is going to always have challenges life is always going to have ups and downs right now in the land of Israel for whatever reason we're in a winter that this event that just happened it was so bad it was horrific worse than anything we' imagine certainly worse than y ker War which was 50 years ago so now what's coming next well I don't know exactly what's coming next but I do know this the winter and after winter spring starts so as bad as things look things are going to resprout I'm telling you things look much worse after the Holocaust look much worse and look what happened after that everything flourish after every winter there's going to be a spring but we also have to be careful because after every spring there's going to be summer after summer it's going to be fall there's going to be great harvest but after the Harvest do not get arrogant because winter is going to be coming again so remember as gloomies as things look right now it's going to get better with God's help guaranteed because after winter spring has to come and now in our own personal lives sometimes things are not always perfect at home there's Winters there's Summers there's Springs it falls but you should remember when things look bad spring is going to come and it's going to look better Hashem loves you have a great job with
