Description

Failures can be bruising and hurtful, and seemingly endlessly debilitating. But there is a more redeeming perspective, in which setback serve as the catalyst for a new start, a fresh opportunity to reach greater achievement than was even fathomable before. This is the belief of people of courage, people of grit and resilience who always win in the end. No less then Hashem Himself sees the deluge and carnage of the mabul as a promising reset, enabling mankind not only to rectify the sins of that generation, but to fulfill the mandate which eluded Adom and Chava from day one. This is brought to light from a deeper study of the name and very persona of Noach.
