Shnayim Yomi - Noach - Shlishi - #3 - Rav Gav Friedman - The Door to Teshuva Is Open

Welcome back to Yomi. Okay, so now we start off and now things start getting wet. Things start getting hectic and wet and that is that the Pik says and the Mel's on the land for 40 days and all the water starts to come up like crazy. The only question is what do you mean the marble? If you looked in Sheni, you saw and I even said it and it started to rain for 40 days. Was it Gishm or was it Mabble? So Rashi tells us that actually it started off as Gishm so that when a person saw the rain they'd be like oh it's really true what no is saying and I should really do chuvo which shows us Hashem always gives us a chance to do chuvo. We just have to take that opportunity. Okay so it starts to rain and as it continues to rain it switches over to ma because they didn't actually change. Then it lifted up the tava off the uh off the ground. It starts to lift up and everything gets destroyed. the whole area, all the animals that are not in the table gets destroyed. We know except for the fish, which we'll come to. And it's 150 days of wild water from above, from below, all areas where there was like Hashem took out all the corks from everywhere just to cause the the water to go to go wild. Now, it [snorts] says 150 days that the water is going wild. And then Hashem remembers Noah. He remembers him. He says, "Oh, it's time to start cleaning things up. Start getting the cleanup crew over here. We got to we got to change things around over here. It says no opens up the window. Oh, remember we spoke about in the first about that soar about that. What does that mean? According to this Rashi tries to bring an idea to show oh must be it was a window because as he opens up this window and he sends out a raven to check if the waters went down. Now the raven though didn't go anywhere. It just kind of circled. He didn't trust No. He thought No was going to take advantage of his partner. So he says okay. He sent out the Yona. Now the Yona didn't find a place for it to rest. And it waited it came back and waited for seven days and then sent it out again. And it came back with a olive leaf in its mouth. And Rashi points out that what was he saying? What was a message this the dove is trying to say? I'd rather have an olive leaf which is bitter that comes directly from Hashem than have something which is sweet like honey that cames that comes from you. We'd have it rather come from Hashem than from somebody else. So what does he do? He waits for another seven days and he sends it out and it doesn't return. And then he realizes, oh, it's dry. It's time to make our way out. So, he opens up the door and wow, voila, it's done. It's dry. Unbelievable. But let's just circle back to that first thing that we said. Is it rain or is it mul? What's amazing is not only will Hashem give us the opportunity to do chuva, but sometimes when a person is such a rush, they're stuck in the wrong way of life that say even when they're standing by the entrance way of they don't do chuva, let's make sure we don't get there. We can go back to the first told us no, but not like a Russia where we can't even see the good things that are in front of us and make the right opportunities. Look at the make the right choices. Look at the opportunities Hashem gives us. And if we want to change our life, then it's right there in front of us. That m starts off always as rain, always gives us a chance to change. Make sure that we take that chance. Join us next time on Schneim. Yummy.
