Thanks again, MG.
Speaking of parshas Noach, I was learning the parsha this past Friday night with my mom, and we came up with the following question: We know that Noach sent out a raven and then a dove to see if the land was dry after the flood. But wouldn’t it have been a higher level of faith if Noach had simply waited for G-d to send him a sign that the land was dry, instead of trying to “figure it out” himself? After all, it is stated that Yosef HaTzadik was punished for asking the Butler of Paroah to mention him to Paroah instead of waiting for G-d to do it. So wouldn’t this be the same?
