Noach: Believing Makes It Happen

Rashi famously comments that Noach was a "believer and not a believer" regarding the coming Flood. But how can the man the Torah calls a Tzadik Tamim (Perfectly Righteous) lack faith?In this profound session, Rav Shlomo Katz opens the Beis Avraham of Slonim to redefine the mechanics of Emunah (Faith). We learn that true Emunah isn't just intellectual assent; it is a spiritual force that draws reality down into the world. The Beis Avraham teaches that Noach knew if he fully believed in the Flood, his faith would actually cause it to happen. Rav Shlomo explains that Noach's hesitation was actually an act of desperate mercy — trying to prevent the destruction by withholding his belief. We also explore the power of looking at others with "believing eyes," teaching us that when we believe in the good in people, we make that goodness real. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t
