This class presented to women on Noach 2012/5773 explores the timing of the flood. Noah’s Flood commenced on the 17th of Cheshvan in the year 1656 from creation, and ended on Cheshvan 27 of the following year. The biblical commentaries explain that the Flood lasted exactly one year, and that the 11-day discrepancy in the dates represents the 11-day difference between the solar and lunar years. But why was it important to have a full solar year? Because it is the harmony between the “sun” and the “moon” in the human psyche that is the key to healing and rebirth, to eliminate the causes of the flood.

Question that was asked during the lecture
Regarding the person that asked why is it that the Jewish People compared to the moon and the non Jews to the Sun, if we say that the sun represents spiritual and the moon represents the reflection of the spiritual.
I would venture to offer that the Jewish people is aware that they are an extension of G-d. Without G-d Himself we are nothing. I believe it might connect with the concept of humility.
On the other hand, the other nations tend to act with an attitude of ownership of spirituality, some type of entitlement. I would push to say that it might be the reason why they are proselyte and we aren't. I would also connect the sun-non jews relationship with the fact that they associate themselves so much with their sense of divinity that they often diverge from the essence, occult the source of light, through misinterpreting divinity for example.
Just some thoughts :)
