Once the stone was up and Noach’s hishtaduls was done, from that one stone - much light would shine forth [It is not lost on me as I type these words that from our massive outpouring of national hishtadlus, Hashem can make many great miracles and much light can and will shine].) However, according to the rst opinion quoted by Rashi, ‫ יֵ"אֹ חַּלֹון‬, that the tzohar was a window - for what did the eight people in the Ark need a window?

Israel Prize laureate and presidential candidate Miriam Peretz, who lost two of her sons (Uriel and Eliraz HY”D) during their service in the IDF, has paid condolence visits to over 30 families who lost loved ones in Hamas' recent barbaric attacks on Israel.
