Parsha
Parshas Noach is symbolic of the floodwaters of life. Like. Noach, we need to enter the "Teiva", enter the Ark, to survive the turbulent waters. Teiva is the word used for "boat" but may also be translated as "word". The Baal Shem Tov teaches that the way to ride the waves, is by entering the words of Torah and Tefillah, study and prayer. Not only do we then survive, we transform the destructive waters of life to sustaining waters of life & success. See the new JLI course below!
