Noach: Embracing the Opportunities of Take Two

  Failures can be bruising and hurtful, and seemingly endlesslydebilitating. But there is a more redeeming perspective, in which setback serveas the catalyst for a new start, a fresh opportunity to reach greater achievementthan was even fathomable before. This is the belief of people of courage, peopleof grit and resilience who always win in the end. No less then Hashem Himselfsees the deluge and carnage of the mabul as a promising reset, enabling mankindnot only to rectify the sins of that generation, but to fulfill the mandatewhich eluded Adom and Chava from day one. This is brought to light from adeeper study of the name and very persona of Noach.
