RAV BRAZIL PARSHAS NOACH ‫תשפ"ד‬ WE BUILD OUR TAIVOS THROUGH DAVENING When Noach, his family, and all the species of animal life left the ark, the Torah says that they departed from the Ark ‫למשפחתהם‬. Not that he was busy with davening and saying Tehillim all day, but rather that he had the lasting effect and impression of his actual tefillah upon himself in his thoughts and actions, in his tikkun hamidos and deveikus with Hashem. In Pesachim 112 Chazal tell us to serve Hashem ‫שר רץ כצבי וגבור כארי לעשות רצון אביך שבשמים‬ð‫מר וקל כ‬ð‫רבי יהודה בן תימא אומר הוי עז כ‬ Some animals possess exemplary attributes and others negative. By seriously davening, one brings his consciousness to realize the severity of his shortcomings and that his true singular inner desire is only to get closer to Hashem and therefore he commits himself to do so. Even the descendants of Noach for decades took upon themselves the restriction of sexual immorality even not to violate a virgin (Bereishis 34,7 Rashi) all because of the one year chinuch to rehabilitate them. This corrective process and training took no less than a year but when they left it was manifest to all that these animals were ‫ לא הם‬not similar to the same ones which entered twelve months ago. According to the Baal Shem Tov the Taivah in the parsha is also referring to the spectacular koach of Tefillah besides being a refuge habitat to preserve future life in a new world. If our tefillos were so sincere and heartfelt then we too would step back from the Shemoneh Esari with a slightly changed heart and a resolve to a fresh start because we feel ‫לא הם‬. This description relates that all the species accepted upon themselves to cleave to their own species in contrast to before the Flood when all boundaries even amongst the animals were crossed. The Baal Shem Tov says that when Hashem commanded Noach ‫בא אל‬ ‫ התיבה‬that it was time to enter the Ark, Hashem is talking to Bnei Yisrael to come into the words of tefillah.
