Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Noach -Noah: Likability, Influence, and Change 10.24.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

  OK, because there's one angle, what's the range of scene and I
• 0:13
  know and that's really from his name.
• 0:18
  And then latest by Shah. If Basuk said Hashem says these
• 0:24
  words, I am going to the way they were in English.
• 0:30
  I will blot out erase men. A shebaratin Alpena adamah whom
• 0:36
  I created on this earth, Me Adam adbe ma adremes the art of a
• 0:41
  shamayam goodbye to all living creatures.
• 0:45
  Kini Hamti because I regret Kiyasitin that I made them and
• 0:49
  the Pasu close down and said Prasad Brashit Menorah Ahmad
• 0:53
  Sahen Renashen now found Aver and Azerat, which is a contrast
• 0:58
  similarly to our previous point. I will erase the whole world,
• 1:03
  but now if I'm fair, that's analyzing so he.
• 1:06
  Saved the world. He saved the world.
• 1:08
  Then you come to Al Bashah, and Al Bashah opens up with liberal
• 1:11
  restart caret point Elia Todo, Noah.
• 1:15
  These are the offsprings of Noah.
• 1:17
  And then it says again the name. So you read in the past.
• 1:20
  So you see the words Elia, Todo, Noah, Noah.
• 1:23
  These are the offsprings of Noah.
• 1:26
  The fruit of Noah is Noah is Sadiq, Noah, the righteous man
• 1:31
  Tamim in a certain sense a perfect person.
• 1:35
  Any generations ETA eloquim talak noak Noak followed God,
• 1:41
  Mehuli noak shoshabanim ET shame ET ham.
• 1:44
  These are his offsprings. Doesn't tell us his always means
• 1:48
  he tells us himself and then afterwards tells us.
• 1:50
  Three children. By the way, an interesting fact
• 1:54
  Side point, Noak's first child is born at about 500 years old
• 1:59
  or so. He did not have children in the
• 2:01
  beginning and the rabbi says one of the reasons he never told you
• 2:04
  in the beginning was because of the world he lived in and
• 2:07
  because he recognized that the world is a very bad place.
• 2:10
  So he's his world and he did not want to bring children into this
• 2:13
  world. Eventually the 500 years or so
• 2:16
  was when he started to have his three sons shame Karma Jafa and
• 2:21
  the Basuk says that the Jarretta Aritz the world was disgusting.
• 2:26
  If Nehalukim at the Malaya Aritz Hamas and the world was filled
• 2:31
  with Hamas, which literally means thievery.
• 2:34
  But it's not a typical word we use.
• 2:36
  Ghazal is the word. It was people who poet tricks
• 2:41
  who play with the high deceit or both sketches in order to create
• 2:45
  money and that was like for example, they would steal
• 2:48
  beneath below the number, the minimum number that you can be
• 2:52
  brought to court for the amount was less than a shavette brutal
• 2:55
  less than the value of real money.
• 2:57
  And if you stole, I don't know a plastic cup at a time, you
• 3:02
  cannot be brought to cut court like today in San Francisco.
• 3:05
  Exactly. This is what they did under
• 3:08
  $1000. This is they did and it says
• 3:10
  complete the seat or they would ask someone can I look at that
• 3:13
  item? Can I see the sample?
• 3:15
  And they would see it and then they wouldn't pay for it.
• 3:17
  It would tell you, hush, I want to pick to see sketch stealing
• 3:21
  that was going on and Hashem said I'm going to destroy the
• 3:23
  world. All right.
• 3:25
  But again, that's who says by Yara the key metallic Hashem saw
• 3:29
  the world, the Heinenish kata the people have become terrible
• 3:32
  keshit ko bazar deco alaris and therefore Hashem was planning to
• 3:37
  destroy the world and leave Noah around.
• 3:41
  Couple of things. We started off and let's brash
• 3:44
  out with the words no Ahmad Sahin.
• 3:47
  Noah found favor in the eyes of Hashem.
• 3:50
  Why is that irrelevant facts. Nice point.
• 3:54
  Noah found favor. Why do I need to know that
• 3:56
  Hashem is destroying the world? They're all sinners, all evil.
• 4:01
  Let's call them Noah is a good guy.
• 4:03
  Why do I need the words Noah Matzahim?
• 4:08
  It was the answer. Answers like this isn't it?
• 4:12
  As cons? The reality is is that if the
• 4:17
  majority of a town sins, God destroys the town, the entire
• 4:22
  town majority of the city sins. Hashem destroys the inside the
• 4:26
  city majority of the world. Since Hashem destroyed the
• 4:32
  entire world, including the righteous Noah Ahmad zahem Ben
• 4:37
  Hashem was that Noah really should have been included in the
• 4:44
  punishment of the whole world. He should have been included.
• 4:46
  Even if he's a good guy, great person, he should have been
• 4:50
  included. Matsakhen found favor meant that
• 4:55
  Hashem gave him a personal out he finds favor he's hen really
• 5:00
  is charming. He was so to speak well
• 5:03
  understand what this means in a second He was charming to
• 5:05
  Hashem. He was likable to Hashem that
• 5:08
  allowed him that helped him get a pass that even though the
• 5:13
  entire world is being killed. Everyone is one man and his
• 5:17
  family, as a credit to him who are going to get that pass
• 5:21
  because because of his likability that we have to know
• 5:27
  what is that secret. She's telling me that according
• 5:30
  to Dean, according to judgement, Noah would have been included.
• 5:33
  The only reason he was not included in that world was
• 5:36
  because of Han. What is Han?
• 5:39
  What does it mean to find a Han in the Azerbaijan?
• 5:42
  And the answer is this. Han in the Azerbaijan is very
• 5:46
  similar to real Han in the eyes of people.
• 5:52
  The same tricks or the same tools that you use better, the
• 5:56
  same tools that you use to find favor in the eyes of people are
• 6:01
  the kind of tools that you use to find favor in the eyes of
• 6:05
  Hashem. What do I mean?
• 6:06
  How do you find favor? How you likable to people?
• 6:09
  Now there are two different words that are very different,
• 6:12
  likable and popular. Popular.
• 6:16
  You've discussed this many times.
• 6:17
  Popular evil could be come from evil custom power could easily
• 6:21
  come from evil come from power. It could come from material.
• 6:24
  It could be well off. It could be well known.
• 6:27
  Those are things that attract others to you because people
• 6:31
  want to be associated with you believing somehow that they're
• 6:34
  going to touch you're somehow they're going to get a benefit
• 6:37
  by knowing you. They're going to be famous by
• 6:40
  you being famous. And we've all seen and lived
• 6:42
  through this and watched the Aussie case who tries to to
• 6:48
  attract, attach himself to a popular person and actually gets
• 6:52
  nothing out of it. That's popularity.
• 6:55
  What is likability? A different tool together.
• 6:57
  That's him. Likability is the father like
• 7:01
  ability to person whom you want to be around.
• 7:05
  It's fun to be around. Why?
• 7:07
  Because when I'm around him, I feel good.
• 7:10
  When I'm around him, he lifts me up.
• 7:13
  When I'm near him, he doesn't make me feel any less than him.
• 7:17
  He actually is someone whom I feel comfortable and feel better
• 7:22
  around. Real charm.
• 7:24
  Real charm is a major contrast to fake charm.
• 7:28
  Fake charm attraction is from power, arrogance, wealth, the
• 7:34
  flashy kind. Those are fake charm.
• 7:37
  Real charm, constant likability. Likability is he's nice, he's
• 7:42
  encouraging, he's misuk. I feel good around him.
• 7:46
  I don't feel small next to him. I don't feel like he's showing
• 7:50
  me up. That's a chum.
• 7:53
  And that's, that's really and that is him.
• 7:57
  That's likable. And when you are likable to
• 7:59
  other people, as she knows, the same tools are used for Hashem.
• 8:05
  If you know a liberty yacht in this way, you're likable to
• 8:10
  Hashem as well. If you are the kind of person
• 8:14
  whom other people enjoy being around, you can rest assured
• 8:18
  you're the kind of person whom my sham wants to keep around.
• 8:22
  And so Noah actually survived, and his family survived with
• 8:27
  him, and the world survived with him, all because he had the
• 8:32
  right tools of likability. But he requires something.
• 8:35
  Has a person attained? Is he telling me to say in Yan
• 8:37
  to be charming? Has a person do this?
• 8:40
  You do it with good meteor. You do it with humility.
• 8:44
  You do it with being a person who, like we said, is not
• 8:47
  arrogant, is not showing other people up, who's conscious at
• 8:50
  all times. How am I going to make this
• 8:52
  table around me feel good If you do that?
• 8:55
  And if you attain that skill, you can rest assured you're
• 8:58
  attaining that skill in the eyes of Hashem as well.
• 9:00
  The words are ale told of Noah. Noah.
• 9:04
  It says that name twice, that word twice, because it's tending
• 9:08
  to the fact Noah la Bruyotte is Noah la Hashem.
• 9:13
  He has hen easy that was worth easy.
• 9:17
  He's easy in the eyes of others, and he's easy.
• 9:22
  He has hen in the eyes of ashen, and that helped him survive, and
• 9:27
  that helped him get a little pass outside the rule of law.
• 9:30
  That's the idea. So like a person with a
• 9:36
  easygoing temperaments doesn't that's.
• 9:42
  A person with a easygoing temperament.
• 9:44
  A person who's humble, a person who's low key, a person who
• 9:49
  makes others feel good. The kind of person that you see
• 9:52
  them coming, you say, oh, and Kasha is the kind of person whom
• 9:58
  you see coming. You say, Oh no, he's coming,
• 10:00
  right? That person, the whole deal.
• 10:03
  The guy who used to come and say I'm excited he's going to be by
• 10:06
  the party. Oh, I'm excited I get to see him
• 10:07
  by the wedding or I'm thrilled that he's coming over to the
• 10:10
  family meal. That person, great.
• 10:13
  The other one that you say, oh, gosh, I have to see him now
• 10:15
  again. All right.
• 10:16
  Oh, I'm just going to have to after the meal, talk about the
• 10:19
  fact that so and so was hiring. Again, that person, that's not
• 10:23
  Noah, that's not him. They may be the lot of person in
• 10:27
  the room and they might get the most attraction, but they are
• 10:29
  not the people whom you are thrilled to be around.
• 10:33
  And that is not the person that God is supposed to be around.
• 10:35
  It's an incredible reality and it's tried and true and you can
• 10:40
  see it across everywhere. You know, both clients.
• 10:43
  That's a very big difference. The word Noah and the word hen
• 10:47
  are actually the same words as well in the change, right?
• 10:50
  Noah Hen, he's easy person and therefore he is a likable
• 10:56
  person. That's the reality and all of us
• 10:58
  have this capability and it's interesting to think that I I
• 11:02
  saw a sefit right now, Robbie. How come he didn't stick up for
• 11:05
  the people like Abraham did? Good when Saddam?
• 11:08
  Goes, that's a major argument. One person, I believe that over
• 11:12
  the court of Shabbat, I will speak about this some point, but
• 11:15
  the simple answer to that is this.
• 11:17
  I saw this last night right before he's going to sleep.
• 11:19
  There are three differences between Noah and Abraham #1 the
• 11:25
  pursuit says ET AI leukaem ET Alec Noah.
• 11:28
  Noah followed God, whereas Abraham found God.
• 11:32
  There's a difference there. Which almost means I got Hashem,
• 11:35
  appeared to Noah, made it easy for Noah to catch on, whereas
• 11:39
  Abraham found Hashem. He had to dig.
• 11:41
  He. Had to dig, did something full.
• 11:45
  Difference number one. Difference number 2.
• 11:47
  When Noah was told that his generation is going to be
• 11:50
  destroyed. What did Noah do when it came to
• 11:54
  tefillah? Nothing.
• 11:56
  He didn't pray even one day in 120 years to pray.
• 11:59
  He's a great man 120 years to pray.
• 12:02
  He didn't pray at all. Very strange.
• 12:05
  His strength. Abraham Aveeno, when he was told
• 12:07
  about a town there wasn't even affiliated with him, was going
• 12:11
  to be destroyed and they were terrible people and they were
• 12:13
  not even following his way of life.
• 12:17
  Abraham prayed and he developed to philah.
• 12:20
  Much of our rules to Philah come from that failed prayer. 2
• 12:25
  differences at Talakima Talar Nabar Abraham Hashem I found
• 12:30
  found Hashem and this difference which is but they're not to
• 12:33
  pray. Third, Noah was told to build
• 12:37
  the Tibat. How many years?
• 12:38
  140 A 120 years. Why build the tibati behind you?
• 12:43
  20 years. Tibati is a miraculous
• 12:45
  structure. Anyhow, it's anyway a miracle.
• 12:47
  It doesn't really hold that many animals.
• 12:49
  It doesn't really survive that burning water.
• 12:51
  Why build it that long? Are she right?
• 12:54
  So we have the classic concept God wanted every person passes
• 12:57
  by this man building an ark and says why he was in this and know
• 13:02
  what that Hashem is destroying the world because you guys are
• 13:04
  sinning. And he was imagine to get the
• 13:07
  people to change. And how many people change based
• 13:09
  on his influence? Zero.
• 13:12
  And our Rama Vino shaped the world of the world that we live
• 13:15
  in which is a world that believes in God.
• 13:17
  In fact, all the religions are based on our Rama Vino's
• 13:21
  influence and the concept that he introduced to the world.
• 13:24
  This idea of a God existing and that I never super Quran Abraham
• 13:29
  changed the world and the whole world looked up to Abraham. 3
• 13:32
  differences What's going on there?
• 13:35
  Noah followed God Abraham mountain guard Noah been in
• 13:40
  prayer Abraham pray Noah influence Noah it's a great man.
• 13:44
  So what's going on? What's the difference?
• 13:46
  Don't. Don't they say that the Moshe
• 13:48
  Rabino was the perfected version of him?
• 13:51
  Yeah. Or like that they do.
• 13:53
  I should have fixed these things.
• 13:54
  He had that up. Wherever he voiced.
• 13:56
  He prayed, he influenced. Exactly.
• 13:58
  So here's the answer I saw last night.
• 14:00
  And it's a beautiful answer. Look at the background of these
• 14:03
  two men. How's that playing?
• 14:06
  Noah's father? Oh, I don't know.
• 14:09
  It is. Noah's father was a Sadiq.
• 14:12
  Noah was born. The pastor, as she tells us, was
• 14:15
  no lad Mahu. He was born with a milah.
• 14:18
  Why is that relevant? Because it means he was born
• 14:21
  into perfection, the word tamimis, he never sing the
• 14:25
  contraband. His background was one of
• 14:29
  everyone in his family and his world being owned good avajama
• 14:34
  vino. His father was Terra, his father
• 14:37
  owned the store of Abu Dazarah right?
• 14:41
  And because of that difference queso plays out.
• 14:44
  Noah was not able to believe that people can change.
• 14:49
  When Noah saw all these people sinning and God told him I'm
• 14:53
  going to destroy the world, they didn't see a PETA.
• 14:56
  He didn't see an angle that they can change.
• 14:58
  So it wasn't even worth it for him to waste his breath unto
• 15:01
  Villa. And he couldn't really influence
• 15:03
  anyone because if you don't believe in someone, you can't
• 15:05
  change them. Avraham Aveeno, he believed he
• 15:10
  came from that cloth. His father was in orbitable
• 15:13
  Desira, and he changed. So because he changed, you
• 15:16
  believe that others can change, and that's what gave them the
• 15:18
  power to pray, and that's what gave them the ability to
• 15:21
  influence. Because you witness something,
• 15:24
  you believe in them when you believe you can create changes.
• 15:27
  Unbelievable difference, that's the thing.
• 15:29
  With the ballot that you're was great is the regular joke this
• 15:32
  is. Why?
• 15:33
  In Israel, the greatest influencers are those who have
• 15:37
  witnessed and have changed themselves.
• 15:39
  This is wise, could argue. They don't deviate 1° from the
• 15:43
  how I cough, not on the they don't.
• 15:45
  They don't like the way like let's say people might grew up
• 15:48
  but it's just zero. They run away from little polls.
• 15:51
  They scared them. Going exactly.
• 15:53
  Right. It's wild.
• 15:54
  And at the same time, they influence water.
• 15:56
  They influence because they it's not because they're more
• 15:59
  posture, because they're more relatable, but deeper than more
• 16:02
  relatable is because they are treating someone or the firm
• 16:06
  belief that the outcome can change.
• 16:09
  And anytime you're dealing with a trial that's difficult with
• 16:12
  someone that you know, that's not really on the same
• 16:14
  wavelength. All you got to do is say, I've
• 16:17
  seen so much change in my life. I know the whole community.
• 16:20
  I would miss the Protestants community.
• 16:22
  Why not them? And if that's the angle, like I
• 16:26
  Rob Reno, you can beat a dead horse literally by praying for
• 16:29
  people of Saddam and you can believe in change and then
• 16:32
  eventually you will change the world.
• 16:34
  Whereas Noah, although he kept the world alive, he had zero
• 16:38
  influence because he wasn't able to believe, being that he didn't
• 16:41
  witness himself. That's the difference.
• 16:43
  I know what it is nowadays our anims that he's going to destroy
• 16:45
  all the animals. What change that?
• 16:46
  Why? But all the animals didn't never
• 16:50
  meant. Good point.
• 16:51
  All the animals never meant, he also said on the destroyable
• 16:53
  man. Same question to your.
• 16:56
  Point. Well, he says, knock out the
• 16:58
  free pass. But what about the animal?
• 16:59
  OK, good. Question.
• 17:00
  Where he saved certain animals very served well, he didn't save
• 17:03
  all. Of them, No, but.
• 17:04
  But I was asking Ava. No.
• 17:07
  I've got a pass. Where's the pass?
• 17:09
  The animals? The only ants I give you allow
• 17:12
  the. Animals to continue.
• 17:13
  Like the animals that we use, What's the guy say?
• 17:17
  The animals would be used so animals would be used the world
• 17:21
  to serve. I shouldn't.
• 17:23
  In other words, you only get the amount of animals and you see it
• 17:25
  from the seven kosher and the two non kosher, who is only for
• 17:28
  the sake of the new world, not really to keep animals alive for
• 17:32
  their sake. That would be the answer.
• 17:34
  It's a good it's a better question than the answer.
• 17:36
  It's a very solid question. Wow, that would say the oh, we
• 17:39
  have.
