Welcome to Torah at Yimecha Parsha with the OU Women's Initiative.

My name is Aviva Feiner and today we'll be learning Parshas Noach.

And as we open up Parshas Noach, I want to look back at how we concluded Parshas Bereshis.

with the world sinning, and there's somebody named Noah who is matzachin b'enei Hashem.

Hashem likes Noah, and Noah, as we open up our parasha, which is called by his name, Noah is in each tzaddik v'dorosah, the world is full of chamas, which we say is stealing and dishonesty, and Hashem wants to destroy his world, and Noah is somebody who is a tzaddik in this world, And Hashem commands Noah to build an ark.

He gives him very specific instructions as to what it should be.

Hi everybody, welcome to Torah at Imach HaParshah with the OU Women's Initiative.

My name is Aviva Feiner and today we will be learning Parshas Bereshis.

So Yontif has ended and we are moving forward to open up our Torah, Bereshis, in the beginning.

In the beginning, HaKadosh Baruch Hu made the world.

And if you look at how He made the world and each day that He made the world, Everything that we have needed from the beginning of time has been in our world.

And he took one day each day to make different things.

How do we implement this in our lives?

So I think that we have a duality going on in Eshet Chayil, or we have more than a duality going on in Eshet Chayil because we always have the Eshet Chayil being something that's referring to the woman, the Eshet Chayil, and we have the Eshet Chayil being something that really is talking about just the middos that anybody has in life and using the Eshet Chayil as that example.

So I think that I'm gonna start with general, if that's okay, like who a Jew is, and then attach it to the Eshet Chayil.

I really, when I thought of this, and again, this is-- I didn't have a chance to check with my husband because sometimes he'll say, "Wow, that's Mamish Emes." But I think there's, there can't be any risk in saying this because when I think of V'tischak, of it, that lashon of V'tischak, of the abandoned happiness, you know, that, that sense of it's more than simcha.

It's a, it's a fullness of happiness.

We have that also in our Shir Hamal's kuf chav vav where we say, "Az yima lei tischok pinu," that when Mashiach comes, we'll have tischok.

And I think that there's very much a connection between being a person who is Olam Haba oriented and, and Mashiach oriented, and that is what we are as the Jewish people.

Yeah, of course.
