GEN613  For our admonition to be successful, we must find ways to arouse the listener’s interest.  … From here we learn a practical lesson about admonition.  It is not always sufficient merely to tell someone that his conduct is improper.  Noah engaged in an action that was bound to arouse the curiosity of those who saw it. So, too, must we find ways and means to arouse the interest of people whom we want to motivate to observe Torah and mitzvot.  (Rabbi Mordechai Gifter in Pirke Torah, vol. 2, p. 143). PLYN 37-8
