P
arshas Noach
“But Noach found grace in the eyes of Hashem.” (Bereishis 6:8)
A talmid of Rav Yechezkel Abramsky asked him for a brachah. The gaon responded that the best brachah is to “find grace (chein) in the eyes of Hashem.” Then you’ll automatically find favor in the eyes of all who see you.
When Hashem took Bnei Yisrael out of Egypt He granted them chein as it says (Shemos 11:3): “And Hashem gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians.”
How does one merit chein?
Chazal say that the sole way to merit chein is through humility and derech eretz. (Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein Tuvcha Yabiu)
