What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Sicha Women Shiur - Project Likkutei Sichos’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

it took 120 years to build the taver the question is why did it take so long why didn't he engage other people in the process and so what we're going to see is that part of the goal of building the tava was to arouse the people around him to do to shiva and noah understood that it was a direct instruction to him that he should make the taper we're going to examine whether the issue at hand over here was that there should be a taver built or is the action of building the tava the focal point and with that in mind we'll also have a look at the mitzvah of sukkah which has certain similarities to building the tava benigers with regards to the duration of the building project of building the tava isabed that he spent 120 years engaged in the building of the table maybe russia before and rashi says the same thing that raises a question what took so long and why did he spend 120 years on building the table and why didn't he do like we expect of most people if you're given a mitzvah you do it as quickly and as immediately as possible why didn't he do it with the greatest possible speed particularly when you consider that this is a an instruction that is relevant to the sustainability and the survival of the entire world so it's a pretty important project you'd expect a certain enthusiasm and what's interesting is russia doesn't even begin to allude to this question let alone address it directly so why did it take 120 years now you might be tempted to say look we know that not everything that did is as praiseworthy as perhaps other sadiq so perhaps this delay is actually something
