Parashas Noach

Our Parsha this Shabbos Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan is Parashas Noach.
In this Parsha, as we know , HaShem Tells Noach to build an Ark of Gopher Wood into which , he and his wife Naamah, their three sons Shem, Cham and Yefes and their son's wives and the animals,two by two non Kosher and Seven Pairs of Kosher Animals were to enter.
In this Parsha, we also read about Nimrod, who organized the building of Bavel and the Tower of Bavel.
It took Noach 120 years to build the Ark, taking so long, so that the people around would be given the opportunity to repent.But they didn't.
It was just after the passing of Metushelach- Methuselah, the oldest man who ever lived, till 969,that the Mabul, the Flood started.
The Command by HaShem is that Noach is asked by HaShem 'Asei Lecha Teivat' - 'Make for yourself an Ark.' This is a strange thing to say, considering that Noach built the Ark not just for himself,but also for his family and the animals.So why would HaShem say to him,'Make for yourself an Ark.'
To understand the true meaning of this,we need to go back to the beginning of the Parsha.
The Parsha starts by calling Noach an 'Ish Tzaddik Tamim Hayah Bedorotaiv,' - ' A. Righteous man ,perfect in his generation.' 
Our Rabbis say this can mean two different things. It can either mean that Noach was righteous in comparison to the generation that he was living in and had he lived in Avraham's time, he wouldn't have been looked upon as being as Righteous.Or our Rabbis say that this could also mean that considering how his entire generation was bad and thieving, Noach stood out alone against the entire world and thus it was a greater act of strength and goodness on his part to stand against all, and still do Righteousness, against the crowd and masses and the entire World around him.
So, putting these two opposite explanations, with the fact that HaShem Told Noach to build an Ark 'Lecha ,' ' For Him,' shows how these words could fit with both these opposite opinions.
On the one hand, if Noach was just Righteous compared to his generation, then the instruction to build an Ark for himself, shows that he should have been more forward in trying to bring others to HaShem and goodness, and not just be concerned for himself , and so , out of isolation, HaShem Might be Telling him to 'Build an Ark for Himself,' thus showing isolation. If it is the positive opinion,that he was so Righteous and put himself against all around him and still stood up for G-D , then these words to 'Build for himself an Ark,' was a show of how Noach stood up himself against all , and stood by HaShem and so HaShem asked him to 'Build for Himself an Ark,' for no one else was worthy.
I am inclined to believe that Noach stood up against the whole World's Wrongs and as the Parsha says, Noach Walked with G-D ,' like a friend,both in agreement of how the people of the World should be behaving.Though the other opinion talks of how HaShem said to Avraham in Torah 'Walk before Me and be perfect,' whereas with Noach ,HaShem says, ' Noach walked with G-D , ' as if to say that HaShem looked upon Avraham as being worthy to walk before HaShem, Noach walked with HaShem side by side and this can teach how, it is so very important not to Judge people by comparing them to others, like a parent who shouldn't compare one child to another . Each Generation is different and comes with new challenges, and so one needs to fairly judge each man by the surroundings he faces, and not compare him to another, who is faced with different challenges.
We can see this by looking at the Hebrew word 'Teivat,' - 'Ark.'
Within this Hebrew Word, we have thee word ' Tavah,' which means ' Claim,Demand and require,' which could suggest, when HaShem Says, ' Make for yourself a Claim, Demand and Requirement,' HaShem could also be Telling Noach to take Claim for the new World that will come through Noach's offspring and have them or demand of them that they do as HaShem Requires, as before this, due to the Nephilim, the Fallen ones, the World before the Mabul, did everything possible not to serve HaShem, and cause wickedness against their fellow, even moving their fellow's boundary, just a small enough amount that it would stay within the legal limits set at the time,yet still be theft.
We should also consider that there is perhaps something to learn,even from the first opinion, that Noach could have tried more to teach his generation to serve HaShem more, and not just only building and going into the Ark , but playing more of a role in helping others .From this concept , we can learn a lot too.True righteousness comes from worrying about others.That is true kindness.We learn this from the lesson of a bird called the Chassidah,which though it has the word 'Chessed' within it ,which means 'kindness ' it was so called , as a message to itself and others that one must care for others, not just those like oneself for caring for others that are like us , is the same as just caring for ourselves.This is what this bird does.It cares only for those of its own species and not for anyone else.This is not how HaShem wants us to be.
We are HaShem's Messengers on this physical plane to help all His Creation and help bring all His Creation to Him in holiness.
Wherever we are at any time , always has a purpose and reason to bring that part of the physicality and ourselves , to HaShem.Everywhere we find ourselves, has a purpose ,for HaShem and His Creation. We are all HaShem's little Malachim Angels to help all around us with selfless kindness as HaShem Does.HaShem Tells us to Emulate His Ways. And that is what we must do.This World is set before us in every step we take to bring HaShem and His Kindness to every part of it.
We are not to isolate ourselves and just worry about ourselves as people did before the flood.
The Mabul teaches us that we need to give to this World and the whole of Creation and not just take.We need to realize we are all HaShem's Children and we are all in this World to keep it a beautiful place as it was in the Beginning.
And with the sweet words that HaShem Told Noach ,'Asei Lecha Teivat,' - 'Make for yourself an Ark,' a deeper meaning now shows itself for all of us, for HaShem Speaks to us all when He Says to us that we must also ' Make ourselves into an Ark ' into which HaShem Can Dwell within us and among us in Holiness and so we can finally bring this World to its destination , where HaShem can Dwell with us in harmony together and Creation can finally reach its intended stage of being HaShem' s Bait House.
The first word of Torah is 'Bereishis' and the first and last letter of this word spells 'Bait' and the word in between spells 'Roshi,' which means 'My Leader.' Putting this together , we get the 'House of my (of Creation's) Leader,' and Creation's Leader is HaShem , which means that this is HaShem's House and we are to make ourselves into an Ark to let HaShem Dwell within us within Creation.
May we all always stand up like Noach for what is right and holy.May we all follow HaShem's Laws and make this World a Welcome Home for HaShem .
I wish HaShem with Love , a Blessed Sweet and Beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov with Love and to all , a blessed sweet and beautiful Shabbos Kodesh and Chodesh Tov with love.
