Description

The Rebbe reads the Mabul as metaphor for overwhelming pressure that we experience in our lives. The Mabul lasted for 40 days much like a Mikva is comprised of 40 Se'ah since stress is meant to purify us and bring us to a higher level of being. Likkutei Sichos Chelek Aleph, Noach, Sicha 1
