This week's section is called Noah. The central theme is the flood that God sent upon the earth, its preparation, the rain itself, and what happened afterward.<\/p>\n
A superficial reading of the Torah suggests that the flood was a punishment for people's wrongdoing. However, from a deeper perspective, the flood was also a purification. That is why the rain lasted forty days, corresponding to the forty days of the Torah. be<\/i> (a measure of volume, about a thousand liters) that contains, at a minimum, one Mikve<\/i> (ritual purification bath).<\/p>\n
In turn, the flood is identified with the worries of sustenance which, like the waters of a powerful river, confuse the person and take him away from his goal, the constant focus on God.<\/p>\n
To understand the relationship between the flood, the Mikve<\/i> And regarding concerns about sustenance, we must first understand what it symbolizes. Mikve<\/i>. The conceptual content of a Mikve<\/i> is the one of Bitul<\/i>, cancellation. That's why it must have at least forty be<\/i> of water, which is the minimum amount in which the entire body can be submerged, symbolizing the annihilation of the person before God. Furthermore, the word Tevil\u00e1<\/i> (action of immersing oneself in the Mikve<\/i>) has the same Hebrew letters as the word Habitul<\/i> (The annulment), again symbolizing this idea of total surrender to God, as one who is immersed in the awareness and recognition of God's constant presence. In other words, the annulment through which the person transcends their own ego generates a spiritual elevation that allows them to perceive divinity in a better way than before.<\/p>\n
This is also the true reason why a person experiences difficulties in earning a living. Although this makes life temporarily difficult, the person feels broken in this way and is thus able to transcend their own ego, achieving a new level of perception of God.<\/p>\n
Here then, just as the flood was intended to purify the earth, the Mikve<\/i> It has the aim of purifying the person, and the concerns of sustenance have the aim of raising the person to a new level of consciousness that everything that happens in this world is by divine design, as our sages say: "Everything is in the hands of heaven, except the fear of heaven.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"La secci\u00f3n de esta semana se llama Noaj.
