We carry on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter sixty six, pasuk 3, David Hamelech states, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We're going to say to God, ‘How wonderful are Your acts as well as your excellent power. Your enemies will deny they at any time sinned versus You.’ They may recognize how strong You will be and they’ll deny almost everything when they’re placed on demo. They are going to make an effort to deny everything since they'll recognize they'll be punished. That is the simple clarification. Rav Chaim Kanievsky delivers rates a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,fifteen exactly where it states that ‘ How amazing is God,’ implies “ How magnificent are Your practices you do to humble the enemies in a most wondrous way ? Those that are alleged to be killed will cause the Other individuals to generally be killed. Those people who are speculated to be hung will result in their hangers to generally be hung. Individuals that had been pushed in the sea will turn out causing those that pushed them to go in The ocean. People who were burnt will induce the Many others to become burnt. And those who be thrown for lions, they trigger the others to be thrown in to the lions.” What does that signify? Rav Chaim Kanievsky describes that in record, we see that when the enemies of your Jews seek to demolish them, the incredibly area which they made an effort to ruin them with bounces again on them. -One of many to start with circumstances of this was Moshe Rabbenu. It states that he known as his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him through the sword of Paroah. Exactly what does that mean?They desired to get rid of Moshe because it was claimed to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but when the executioner hit Moshe Rabbenu’s neck together with his sword, God made a miracle that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, as well as the knife bounced again and killed the executioner. -An illustration of The ones that need to hold will probably be hung, is Haman. He ready the massive pole to hold Mordechai on, but rather, he was hung on it. - Those that are drowning persons from the ocean refers to the Egyptians that commenced off by drowning the Jewish children.
The cash that he owns is the money that he sends in advance. Additionally, within just Sedaka, you'll find distinctive levels of giving. The Rosh claims that during the Parasha that talks about what to give, it suggests gold, silver and brass (or copper). He states this refers to distinctive amounts of Sedaka. When a person is healthful and wealthy, and everything's going effectively and he presents Sedaka, not mainly because he's fearful, or because he demands a little something, then It truly is gold . He’s providing Sedaka to present Sedaka. When a person is Unwell or has some challenge, it's also fantastic, however it drops to silver. And when an individual is admittedly in dire straits and he is dying, and he gives it absent, then it drops to copper. They are all great, but there are actually unique ranges. Rav Yissachar Dov of Belz had a detailed student, who was particularly rich, and explained he was intending to depart all his income for after he dies. Much like the story of your will, he stated he’d give anything to many of the Mosdot just after this Demise, for the reason that, as he reported, “ Assuming that I'm below, I don't need to become on the giver record.” The Rebbe replied by using a mashal: There was a person who borrowed a sizable sum of money, Permit’s say $100,000, from his Buddy. He was supposed to give it back at a particular time, but some time handed, and he saved pushing it off. Then, in the future the man that owed the money was touring with the guy that he borrowed The cash from, and suddenly a gaggle of robbers surrounded them and held them up for the money. At that second, the man that owed the money told his friend , “I made a decision to pay you back again now.” Naturally! Since you’re intending to reduce the money anyway, so I'd also shell out you back now once the robbers are in this article expressing, ‘Your money, or your lifetime.’ The Rebbe claimed advised him it absolutely was the exact same matter when a person waits until eventually he is almost dying to provide absent his money. Nicely, really wonderful. It is your money, or your lifetime. It'll be divided from you anyway. Some time to provide funds is when the person has no stress and just gives it to provide. That's the highest degree, that is the degree which is known as zahav/gold . We are actually during the providing year, Purim is coming, with Matanot L’Evyonim , Mahasit HaShekel, Maot Hittim , and many of the fantastic triggers which have been coming our way. Let us take advantage and give during the golden way, and let's recognize that the money that we give is really The cash that we acquire. Have a beautiful day along with a Shabbat Shalom.

Within the Gate of Belief, we're on the forefront of a global motion, passionately devoted to cultivating Believe in in Hashem. What began to be a humble weekly serialization of Shaar Habitachon in Chayenu has burgeoned right into a profound revolution, uniting men and women all over the world on a transformative journey.
Nowadays We're going to share an Emunah- Bitachon believed associated with the reading through of Amalek that we're going to do that 7 days, as we often do in advance of Purim. The Midrash Tanhuma asks, what precisely did Amalek accomplish? Amalek attacked the Jewish people and Amalek obtained burnt, Just what exactly did they complete? The Midrash Tanhuma compares it into a bubbling scorching bathtub that everybody is frightened to enter. Then one particular man jumps in, and cools it off for everybody else, Despite the fact that he gets burnt. What precisely is usually that mashal telling us? The Baalei Mussar reveal there are distinctive amounts of Emuna. A person can have confidence in his head . If he’s pretty intellectual, and cerebral, he thinks in God determined by proofs and philosophy. An additional man or woman may possibly have confidence in God as a result of his heart , and his feelings bring him to recognize God. He is moved by a beautiful scene, and he's emotionally a believer. Then there is a degree named Emunah Hushit/ Emunah inside the senses , when someone can truly feel and contact God as being a reality. That is the greatest amount. It is not anything cerebral or emotional. And the same as You would not place your finger in hearth mainly because instinctively, you pull it out, which was the extent of Emuna and clarity that the world had concerning the electricity of God as well as the superiority in the Jewish men and women. It had been like a bubbling hot tub to them. It wasn't a matter of intellect. It wasn't an issue of emotion. They knew not to put their finger in, mainly because they’d get burnt. That is what Amalek cooled off. This is exactly why it claims Asher Karacha Baderech, he cooled us off. What did he great precisely? The Elder of Kelm explains wonderfully that Amalek needed to interesting the Jewish people today off from their unique greatness. From, in his words, “ The greatness in their heart and the greatness of their souls. ” Every thing that transpired by way of Yetziat Mitzrayim lifted up the Jewish folks to a better degree, they usually, in turn, comprehended their relationship to God. They comprehended they were being the Am HaNivchar / The Picked Nation .
In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), gives additional insights about the amount fifteen and its relationship to shalom : · It truly is the number of words in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates inside a blessing of shalom . · Additionally, he clarifies, a hand has fourteen joints, three on each with the 4 fingers and two on the thumb. For your hand to depict shalom, it requirements one more ingredient. For that reason, Chazal instructed us that whenever we generate a berachah on a cup of wine, we must always keep the cup in the palm in the hand; On this situation, it is actually called the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm turns into the hand’s fifteenth element, thus symbolizing shalom . · He connects this concept on the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah scholars increase peace.” It's because the rabbis have enhanced the occasions for utilizing a kos shel berachah. These incorporate Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, and the night of Pesach. These are definitely all moments by which we put the kos in our palm, calling into services the fifteenth component of our hand, As a result symbolizing the Identify of Shalom . · Over the six weekdays, we wash for bread two times each day, twelve times in all. On Shabbos, We now have 3 meals, which delivers the week’s overall to fifteen. Shabbos is per day of peace because of the fifteenth food, Seudas Shelishis, which brings shalom . Furthermore, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is considered the most opportune time to pray for Arba Minim, the Four Species we bless throughout Succos. As we discovered within our dialogue on Succos, the 4 species symbolize unity Among the many four types of Jewish people. How come we pray about these 4 species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis explain that if we look at the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they're bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the working day on which, according to the Gemara , the sap begins working in the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we will start making Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we say on viewing the tree’s buds begin to blossom. The seasons progress until finally at last, we arrive at Succos, after we harvest the fruit. Hence, the development toward Succos commences on Tu b’Shevat, after we pray for the required shalom from the Shivtei Kah, which ultimately expresses alone about the festival of Succos with the Arba Minim. Shevat will be the month, and Tu b’Shevat the day, uniquely primed for our endeavours to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.
We continue with some awesome Bitachon thoughts in the commentary of Rav Chaim Kanievsky in Tehilim . In chapter 34, pasuk 19, David Hamelech says, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near the damaged hearts. 1. He estimates from the Midrash referred to as Otiot Rebi Akiva (letter eight), that says, “ Whoever's coronary heart is broken and whose spirit is reduced, the Shechina walks with him all day long. It’s like a Mizbe’ach is inbuilt this male’s heart and He's bringing Korbanot on it, since the brokenhearted are dearer to God compared to angels that He has in the heavens.” After which you can he offers One more Midrash, in Vayikra Raba chapter seven, that claims, “ God's utensils are damaged utensils.” Ordinarily, we wish to use utensils which might be entire. But God is different than human beings. He makes use of damaged utensils. Like it states, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near the people who are damaged hearted. It says, “ The sacrifices of God can be a damaged heart.” The Gemara factors out that it say” sacrifices ,” in plural, simply because a individual who provides a damaged heart is sort of a walking Guess Hamikdash , bringing offerings to God, and so God dwells there. That's why when somebody is in that state, He's closest to God, and closest to remaining answered. קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב People who have humble spirits, He'll help save. רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ ה׳׃ The issues on the righteous are many and Hashem will conserve them. Rav Chaim Kanievsky clarifies that precisely at the point of Rabbot Ra’ot/ lots of troubles, once the sword is on his neck, and it will not appear that there is any method of getting out of the problem, that's if the miracle comes about. That is just like what happened at Keriat Yam Suf/the splitting of the sea. When a person is at The purpose that he isn't going to see a way out, this results in him for being brokenhearted, and he will probably begin to see the yeshua .
” וְשֶׁב־שָׁ֑ם וַעֲשֵׂה־שָׁ֣ם מִזְבֵּ֔חַ And Sit there And make an altar there. The Seforno asks, What exactly are we adding with All those two text- ‘( And) sit there ?’ The Seforno responses that Hashem was telling Yaakov Avinu this theory on the pious men of old, as he was about to build an altar, Which’s what our prayer is currently; it’s a substitute for the sacrifices or choices within the altar. Hashem was educating you can't just dive into that providing. You have to sit and ponder. So This is often an ancient idea. Individuals these days glance to Japanese cultures for meditation and mindfulness. But anything which is excellent is found in our Torah. That is this concept of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. You won't have to sit there with the legs crossed as well as a turban on. It is possible to sit with your legs straight together with your tefilin on. The point is identical: Concentration . Obvious your head with the litter before you decide to pray. Another source for this concept is bitachon found in the Yalkut Shemoni, Shemuel ב It says that David Hamelech states, “I wouldn't pray to God until eventually I stood nonetheless and calmed down. After which you can I might pray.” Since it says in Shemuel ב (7,eighteen) וַיָּבֹא֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב לִפְנֵ֣י ה׳ “ King David arrived, and he sat in front of God,” He sat , and soon after he sat and had kavana , and then he started to pray. So this is one area we see while in the greats of our previous: Yaakov Avinu, David Hamelech… they are training us this critical thought of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Privileged are the ones that just sit and contemplate right before they pray and very clear their minds on the clutter. And once again, This really is brought down in Shulchan Aruch ( Or HaChaim chapter 98) This isn't just for Hasidim HaRishonim. He states, this is probably by far the most tough point for men and women, “ Take out many of the ideas which have been preoccupying you, until finally your feelings along with your kavana are pure.” After which you can begin praying. That's for the regular human being. The Hasidim HaRishonim would shell out one hour , and they would attain high levels. We're just requesting a couple of moments of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. Have an excellent working day.
Looking at and telling stories of Some others who lived on bitachon also can help. But almost nothing assists greater than meditating deeply on the deep romance we Every single have with the Supply of All Excellent, and Placing that conviction to work for you whenever required.
…Due to the fact Divine knowledge needs the demo with the soul with provider of Hashem or rebellion, Hashem tries the soul with what's going to expose its decision within the issue, particularly, with the necessity and wish for that that's exterior to it – food items, drink, garments, shelter, and sexual relations.
Hashem is kind, loving and merciful. Hashem produced me to be able to give to me. And Hashem wishes what's for my most effective. Although I'm accountable to become proactive, I am not answerable for the end result, and I'm not the determinant of the effects. That's Hashem’s role. And so, though I do my portion, I trust in Hashem to care for me. I take my
