Okay, good morning everyone and thank you for joining us on this beautiful Friday morning as we are studying together like we saw yesterday tells us how not only did the people in the time of the generation of Noah become corrupt but their corruption even seeped into the animal kingdom it affected the animals to a level that even they started behaving immorally. ally inappropriately. ally inappropriately. [snorts] It even affected the land. I mean again we explained this yesterday. We tried to explain it at least yesterday. Rashi writes that even animals, beasts and foul will consort with those not of their own kind. The says all flesh, all flesh. What does that mean? All flesh had corrupted, not that mean? All flesh had corrupted, not only man, even animals. All flesh. [snorts] And um this is um this is why Hashem destroyed even the animals. Hashem wiped out all existence that was on the face of the earth. Man, beast crawling things, the birds of the heavens. Hashem destroyed it all. And somehow somehow Noah in all of this remained pure. He remained unscathed. remained pure. He remained unscathed. He stayed somehow the course. It didn't affect him. Even the animals got affected but not Noah. And explains the nivot shalom. Something beautiful. You know when we are introduced to Abraham Ainu, Abraham the founder of monotheism, today's monotheism, father of Judaism, Abraham Ainu did not enter the scene with a whole introduction. introduction. You open up, it doesn't say anything about Abraham that he was such a sad very simple. God said to Abraham, you know, go There's no excitement. There's no elaboration. There's no fanfare. There's no drama. We don't know. We don't know anything about Abraham. Not even a adjective, not a praise, nothing. The guy just Abraham.
