Who was the very first inventor?
00:00:04.269 --> 00:00:07.185
Was it Alexander Graham Bell?
00:00:07.185 --> 00:00:09.143
Maybe Thomas Edison?
00:00:09.143 --> 00:00:18.606
Well, folks, thousands of years ago, well before these inventors, there lived a man and his name was Lemech.
00:00:18.606 --> 00:00:25.452
Now, lemech had a son and at the bris he named his son Noach.
00:00:25.452 --> 00:00:35.890
The Torah tells us why he did this, noach because Zayinachameinumimaseinum, lemech said about this kid, he's gonna bring ease and peace into our lives.
00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:38.728
Rashi explains that Noach was an inventor.
00:00:38.728 --> 00:00:52.188
He came up with the certain new implements in plowing techniques, a new way that previously it had been thorns and thistles coming for Parnasa out of the ground, because since the days of Adam the ground had been cursed.
00:00:52.188 --> 00:00:54.484
And now, with Noach, things are looking up.
00:00:55.207 --> 00:01:01.362
Peace Inachameinumimaseinum His name testifies to this Noach, he was pleasant.
00:01:01.362 --> 00:01:13.609
And now, when the whole world is about to be wiped out by this flash flood, monsoon and torrent, only one man was saved.
00:01:13.609 --> 00:01:17.126
He was able to bring his family into the ark.
00:01:17.126 --> 00:01:19.486
Why says the Zohar, listen to this?
00:01:19.486 --> 00:01:24.290
Why did he find grace and favor in Hashem's eyes?
00:01:24.290 --> 00:01:28.411
Because he had the Meda of Menuchah.
00:01:28.411 --> 00:01:31.427
He had this peace, this ease, even brought it to others.
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:53.646
Finding Menuchah is something so extolled, lauded and praised by the Torah and in our fast-paced, frenzy-filled lives it can be very hard, it can feel chaotic, and indeed that's why and how the world looked right before the Mabel there was chaos, rashi, says Chomas.
00:01:53.646 --> 00:02:08.967
So we must find our inner peace, whether that's, like they may say in the Vardic, that you have to buy into total faith and trust in Hashem, that nothing is evil and you find peace, or maybe it just is from prayer of Sim Shalom God, please place peace.
00:02:08.967 --> 00:02:18.606
Or maybe we learn, like Rabbi Yerchem tells us, a little bit of self-control, so that we decide what we do and we don't live so haphazardly.
00:02:18.606 --> 00:02:26.311
However it is, we must come to the acquisition of the Meda of Menuchah.
00:02:26.311 --> 00:02:34.264
It may save us, it may save our families, it may indeed even save the entire future of mankind.
