TRUE VALUES
PARSHA
NOAH 08
“You shall make a Tsohar for light for the Tevah ark” (Gen.6.16)
Some say Tsohar is a window, others say it is a jewel as a source of light. (Rashi)
The term Tevah – ark, also means word. So, take care to ensure that every word that leaves your mouth sheds enlightenment like precious stones and valuable jewels.
(R Mendele of Riminov)
In these days of turbulence, the effects of collapsing markets and the plunging values of commodities have hit people worldwide. Assets and investments set aside for a secure and comfortable future have lost much of their value.
In these days of uncertainty, we should realise that our riches lie not in material wealth but in the jewels of enlightenment of our Sages of old. They provide us with pearls of wisdom to bolster our faith and instil in us a hope and confidence needed to face tomorrow’s difficulties so that we may overcome them with assurance.
When Job loses everything he states; ‘G-d gave and G-d has taken away. May G-d be blessed’.
We dare not lose hope. We must remain optimistic.
Should we act positively in depressing circumstances, as taught by our Sages, the realisation will come to us that every experience is meant for our good. Ultimately we will be the richer and better for it.
