Parshat Noach and Arvut

A D'var Torah by th

e Teachers and Children of K

-2

13

It was Erev Yom Tov and my family was cooking in the kitchen. All o

f a sudden we heard a bang outside and

went ru

nning to see what had happened. A Jewish woman driving alone had been in a car accident and skidded

into the tre

e on our fro

nt la

wn. W

e went ru

nning to see if e

veryone was okay and called Hatzalah. The woman was

visibly shaken and feeling pain in her rig

ht side. I to

ld her to

remain calm, th

at help was on the way and that she

would be fin

e. I a

sked her w

ho I c

ould call to

accompany her to

the hospital and she gave me the phone number of

a local re

lative. She was very concerned about th

e contents of her tru

nk, glove compartm

ent and bags that w

ere in

the car. S

he asked me if I c

ould please empty out th

e car and take the things into my home and keep them for her

until s

he was able to come get th

em. I a

ssured her th

at w

as not a problem and waited with her w

hile help arriv

ed.

I told the officer on the scene that I w

ould be taking things into my home for th

e woman. The officer lo

oked

dumbstruck and asked “D

o you even know each other?” I s

miled. I w

anted to say “D

on’t y

ou know that KOL

YISRAEL AREIVIM ZEH LAZEH?” But in

stead I s

aid, “I th

ink we may have met at some point.” T

he officer (s

till a bit

in shock) needed to hear th

e woman’s statement th

at she indeed wanted a total stranger to

go through her car

and hold on to her th

ings.

Since then, I h

ave given a lot of th

ought to

our school’s theme of th

e year - a

rvut and what K-2’s children have

learned so far about caring for each other and how we could continue our le

arning throughout sefer B’reishit. L

ast

week we spoke about Hashem not w

anting us to live in a world of T

ohu V

avohu. Each day he added a new

dimension to the world until it w

as ultim

ately ready on the sixth day for A

dam

Haris

hon. But Hashem was not

finished. He said “L

o to

v h

eyot h

eadam

levado…

e’e

seh e

izer k

’negdo.” It is

not good for Adam to live alone. I w

ill

make a helpmate who can care for him and for w

hom he can care. Here we see the beginning of a

rvut.

In P

ars

hat N

oach, w

e see Hashem’s caring for us by having Noach build the ark and take his family and all th

e

animals with him. It is

interesting to note (id

ea by Rabbi Yisroel Gottlie

b) th

at all th

e animals came in pairs (kosher

animals were in pairs of 7, non-kosher in

1 pair). W

e might ta

ke fro

m this that th

e animals were also responsible

for one another (y

et another example of a

rvut). W

e learned that th

e te

vah that Noach built w

as a rectangle and

had 3 flo

ors. Noach and his family took care of th

e animals during the flo

od. From these examples we see

that a

rvut is

a Jewish value practiced not in

a vacuum but in

our in

teractions, and is expressed through caring for

others.

After th

e science, m

ath, lite

racy, and SMART Board experiences that th

e children of K-2 had learning about P

ars

hat

Noach, th

ey were asked, “W

hat Can You do to practice a

rvut?” H

onderful answers…
