Shabbos of Noah and the Flood - and the New Month‏

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!
