Parshas Noach (5768)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
Why did Noach have an inner issue with himself to enter the Taiva to the extent that Chazal regard him as “mikatnei amana”?
The ark as we imagine it was a symbol of security, the “rock of Gibraltar”. In the light of the true actuality of the mabul the taiva offered no real protection; amounting to someone in a Jumbo falling from the sky and has a chicken feather to assist him.
One can easily miss the awesome dimension of the miracle of the taiva, likewise in our own daily lives we must search and focus on the constant consistent miracles bestowed upon us from Above.
Have a month of bracha v’hatzlacha and a wonderful Shabbos.
