What Can We Learn From Noah's Flood

[Music] to uh to for the day memorize uh commemorating the destruction of the entire world well first and foremost the uh destruction of the whole world was not as tragic as the destruction of the better mikdash for a few reasons number one it was before matantoa it was before akadojba who chose us as his people it was before we got to torah uh and it was before qatar became one with his nation so aka although he loves all of his creation there is no comparison between hashem's love for his chosen people versus the love that he has for the rest of the nations ghazal even says that uh one of the things that uh will be difficult if you will can't really see difficult but for the to understand we use the word the word difficult for hashem at the end of days is going to be the fact that he has to destroy many of the green two thirds of the world have to die and so on and so forth lots of really really bad problems why they have shine they're either worshippers they go against them and so on and so forth but even that will be difficult for him even that would be difficult him why says that think of it as a parable where someone has someone has an ox and a horse and the uh the ox is a little bit uh you know he's not as uh agile and uh quick as the horse and he's a little bit clumsy so one day the uh the ox frozen you know injures himself he's and i uh can't work anymore so the by the bite says okay you're uh you're on leave for a little while in the meanwhile you have this horse take his spot the horse takes the spot of the horse of the uh of the ox now after a little while after a little while the oxygen is vegan can't come home can't come home so the baba bites says yeah technically that was your spot but already for the last three four five six seven hundred years two thousand years this horse has been here and uh he's filling up the spot it's like it's like his it's not really his it's yours it was always yours and since you are on leave but he got comfortable here he did some decent things here some bad stuff but you know he's here so it kind of pains me to get them out says that's like whose attitude even towards the people that are not exactly uh servers of hashem idol worshipers why because they're still my creation i don't want to destroy them i want them to do too well but if they don't i have to why there's a consequence it's a consequence it's a consequence for an action you put your hand in the fight you get burned it's not the fire hates you it's not cursing you out it's not sending you hate mail and emails and text mails and all the time it's not spamming you it's just that you put your hand in the fight it's going to burn you that's the consequence who says you worship idols consequences you get punished but it still hurts like i created him not to be a you know hater of me and enemy of me i created him to do something but he didn't he chose not to so now i have to remove them to make room for my ox to make room for ami saying it still pains me so there's a very big difference between the love of qadospo who has for his chosen people versus the love that he has for even the righteous no heights he loves them he loves everybody that is serving him and even the ones that don't serve him he obviously allows them to live in order for them to do chuva generally speaking he wants everyone to do shuva but there are certain times where a qrs broke who punishes a person and says i'm not going to let you do shiva or sometimes it's bad but not as bad where he says i'm not going to let you do chuva until i punish you first so and there's a pursuit in sephiroth that talks about maybe we'll talk about it later today point being is there's a big difference it's a very very big deal between righteous noah hyde wicked noah hyde a uh outright idol worshiper a idol worshiper that's a jew a righteous jew and so on and so forth so but before matantora these things didn't exist why all we had was no heights that's all we had we didn't have islam so the damage that was made by the generation of noah did not create as much damage if you will in heaven because they didn't have the torah they weren't obligated to do as many things and therefore there's no connection between us israel and the generation of the flood we're not mourning their loss they're not a loss to us they weren't part of us they weren't part of cloud islam but the destruction of the betterment the attack and so on those are our brothers those are our grandparents and so on and so forth therefore we mourn them so that's it now we learn each week well you know from the time that you could read until the time without the shame until a person leaves this world you're always obligated to read the weekly parasha twice with uh in the third time with commentary but it's important to know that parashat noah is a critical parashah for every person to know back and forth back and forth why because akadoshva who showed us there he doesn't need us he doesn't need us clearly anyone that tells you who needs didn't need the entire world at the time of noah why we're better than them how they were more skilled they were bigger they were smarter they were a lot of things so what are you talking about and that's why we read in the uh uh in right before the amidah of uh shabbat of friday night says hashem abu yashav hashem sad while the entire flood was happening meaning he let the world be destroyed why i don't need it if you're not going to serve me there's no point so we learn a lot from parashat noah we also learn that a tadiq can make a mistake that can change his entire destiny he could change his entire reputation in a second how by doing the opposite of what he was supposed to do one example again said in a lecture one time he says the torah calls righteous person tamim complete with hashem meaning what whatever hashem does i'm gonna do it whatever he says i'm gonna do and i'm okay with it no i don't understand so maybe when i understand i'll do it oh you know what i'm going to do it but i'm not happy about it oh listen everybody else is like why should i be that sadiq none of that stuff noah despite the fact that everyone's stealing from each other eating each other alive robbing you know like the cash adventure business all that stuff but massive everything people are destroying each other in the street noah says listen what they do it's their problem no matter what my bulls happening he's in a uh foreign says noah did not even close his eyes for a complete year now you can be a superhero and try to do an all-nighter the next day even if you pulled the all-nighter you're like half why you didn't sleep and the gemara says you want to be superhero you want to stay up for three nights in a row they hate you and force you to go to sleep they hit you unfortunately go to sleep why relax but noah stayed awake for a year why you didn't want to stay awake just that the animals it was all of the animals this one eats breakfast at six o'clock in the morning this one eats at 8 30. this one has coffee with sugar this one only has tea this one wants orange juice this one wants gefilte fish this one wants sardines everyone has meals at different times at twelve o'clock at two o'clock in the morning everybody he's australian time he's in a new york time he's in uh cnn everybody's in different things noah has to feed them little by little here you go here you go here you go one time he was late with the lion the lion and hid him and noah suffered the entire year because of it agony and pain for a year so imagine imagine what sadiqi was imagine as a pursuit it says you are sadiq i'm finished i achieved i've achieved my alleged goals it's not fazook what are you talking about says that tomorrow but then what do we see the mabul is named after noah it's not called like in english it's called the flood that's what the code is it's not called the flood but it's called what is that like it's like saying the holocaust and the holocaust of noah what i killed everybody what did i do i saved everybody i'm the reason why you guys are all right why is it called after me meaning you no why why not first and foremost hazal tells us because noah did not rebuke the people you have to come back as a good arrest says you have to come back what mistake did he make what's the whole point of everything i just said despite being at sadiq despite being a tamim noah made one mistake that kadosh bahu shows every first grader every year what after the homa buu is over what does nach want peace of mind leave me alone i survived a year with all these animals a year were all these beasts a year with all the barking a year with all the peeping all the days cleaning up after everybody yeah let me have a drink let me have a little drink okay please let me get some a little bit of wine what's the problem who m you were always complete with hashem never asking any questions never complaining never having anxiety never thinking oh i need a break i need a vacation you were always shaku you always had your head straight the wine is the exact opposite of you why what does the wine do shake your mind up a little bit goes dancing a little bit looks over here looks over there sometimes at the same time sometimes at the same time it's not you no you're sadiq you're siddique this is not you it's like somebody always says all wonderful things all of a sudden says one of these cuss words hashem you smoke hey what happened now if you see a truck driver or somebody at the gas station or somebody at the store saying a few curses ah whatever it's like common language common language is a big deal but someone that has a pick a dose he says something shakes up the world why you're it's a big it's not you it's not you to do it this is also why who gets upset really really upset about israel you know why because he loves batista he loves not islam it's his daughters and he says my dear daughter look at your grandmother was so beautiful so beautiful her skin was shining to such an extent that the most beautiful says this most beautiful woman in the world that you could ever imagine looks like a monkey with hair on its face next next and abraham did not even know how beautiful she was he didn't even know how beautiful she was until one time he saw her shin one time they married already for a hundred years but he says oh wow you're beautiful thank you thank you for noticing a hundred years later if i was saying what's the matter with you you're missing out what are you going to marry me if you're not even going to look at me sarah was so beautiful even if you didn't see how come mothers she covered herself she cut why because that's what islam does that's your grandmother who says how can you be the opposite of your grandmother how can you be i have a pursuit in this week's parasha villain you hear what the rabbis drashes you all get the the girls together to do hallo everything great right you want to beat zadika but what do you do you have a wig longer than the exile your sleeves just went on vacation your dress is not even a dress in the previous generation it was considered underwear why you want to be cute like the goem is not you it's not you my daughter look all you do you do and used will not see a shameful thing among you and turn away from behind you meaning the moment that you look immodest you don't cover your hair you don't cover your body my dear daughter i simply cannot even be next to you tells his own daughter my dear daughter i love you i created you and i want to see you in ganeden but i cannot even stand next to you or even accept your prayers or even allow your husband you allow your husband to pray next to you when you're soy modest like you are why who can't be i run away from i put my back to it i don't want to see it why it's my daughter dressing like uh shimmy shmo it's not you it's not you you're not acting like you noah was not acting like him why no what's to you and why what are you doing walking around he mothers it's not you it simply doesn't belong and this is what we do mourn every day when our brothers and sisters don't act like they are and unfortunately there are many that are so far away that they become self-hating jews self-hating jews jews that are anti-semitic jews that are empty torah why they're acting not like themselves because they don't even know what they're supposed to act like no one apparently ever taught them or no one taught them the right way or they simply are so addicted to their sins that they forgot what a mitzvah even looks like so that is what we do with mourn because this is our brothers that perhaps are still living now are still among us now and our whole goal is to get them closer next question we're very excited to offer you the new bez of the shem app 3.0 it's a newer faster app full of torah lots of kedusha by the shurim that we do myself rabbi fraim
