Shabbos of Noah and the Flood - and the New Month
In tradition this Lunar month is named Cheshvan
and called Mar Cheshvan - a bitter month - because there is no Jewish Holiday this month
Rabbi Carlebach used to say
"The Holy Masters inverted the 2 Hebrew letters and called it
Ram Cheshvan - the High Heshvan
In the future - they said - the 3rd Temple will be rebuilt in THIS MONTH-
and bring Peace to the World
So - we can CHANGE LITTLE THINGS AROUND -
from Mar to Ram -
and make our month better
and make our lives and the world better
SO WHAT ABOUT NOAH?
He doesn't seem to have made much of a big impact!
SO-
The Ein Yakov portion of the Talmud says -
that really Noah wasn't supposed to survive either!
But because he "found favor in the eyes of the Al-mighty "-
doing G-dly work despite the horrible environment of corruption and degradation-
his family and some animals were saved!
To start over!
Think what a little kindness can save!
