“And they went to Noah into the ark...of all flesh where there is the breath of life” (Gen. 7:15) The G-dly revelation that was manifested in the ark had a profound effect on all the animals, causing them to live together amicably and harmoniously for an entire year. Thus the conditions in the ark were the prototype and forerunner of the Messianic era, when according to many commentators, the Biblical prophecy of “and the wolf shall live with the lamb” will be fulfilled in the literal sense. (Hitva’aduyot 5743)
