What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

there's a fascinating observation in the medrash the madrish in parshas noah madrish rabba says that noah spent the whole year in the ark of course hibernating protecting insulating and protecting himself and his immediate family and all the animals and the birds from the raging flood that destroyed civilization and consumed the planet after a year he emerges from the ark after a year he emerges from the ark the madrid says he saw in the world nayak saw the world before the flood he saw the world during the flood from the ark and he comes out he sees a new world how do you deal with a new world it's different ways but it's not easy you have to be ready for it got drunk one of the reasons maybe got drunk one of the reasons maybe was too painful the vacuum the void was too profound how do you deal with coming out of an ark and realizing that you have to start all over again and you're the sole survivor you your wife your children your three sons and their wives and you have to start all over again that's tough that's not easy maybe that's one of the reasons why nayak took to the kiddush club started to drink but whenever you're confronting a new world you have to have the tools the resources to be able to navigate it with dignity with fortitude with resilience and with wisdom i know that the comparison is far from complete thank god we haven't been through noah's flood god made an oath he wouldn't bring a flood but many of us have been in hibernation for a year you were in your own arc yes i know it was not like noah's ark
