We continue with some wonderful Bitachon thoughts from the commentary of Rav Chaim Kanievsky in Tehilim . In chapter 34, pasuk 19, David Hamelech says, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near to the broken hearts. 1. He quotations from the Midrash called Otiot Rebi Akiva (letter eight), that claims, “ Whoever's heart is damaged and whose spirit is small, the Shechina walks with him all day long. It’s just as if a Mizbe’ach is built-in this gentleman’s heart and he is bringing Korbanot on it, since the brokenhearted are dearer to God compared to the angels that He has within the heavens.” After which he quotes An additional Midrash, in Vayikra Raba chapter seven, that says, “ God's utensils are broken utensils.” Normally, we choose to use utensils that happen to be complete. But God is different than human beings. He employs damaged utensils. Like it suggests, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near the people who find themselves damaged hearted. It says, “ The sacrifices of God is actually a damaged coronary heart.” The Gemara factors out that it say” sacrifices ,” in plural, simply because a individual who features a damaged heart is sort of a going for walks Bet Hamikdash , bringing choices to God, and so God dwells there. This is exactly why when someone is in that condition, He's closest to God, and closest to staying answered. קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב Those who have humble spirits, He will save. רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ ה׳׃ The problems in the righteous are numerous and Hashem will help you save them. Rav Chaim Kanievsky points out that precisely at the point of Rabbot Ra’ot/ countless issues, once the sword is on his neck, and it doesn't seem that there is any method of getting outside of the situation, which is once the wonder takes place. That's much like what happened at Keriat Yam Suf/the splitting of the sea. When a person is at The purpose that he will not see a means out, this results in him for being brokenhearted, and he is going to begin to see the yeshua .

We carry on with some Bitachon views from Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s commentary on Tehilim. In chapter 37, pasuk 21, David Hamelech suggests, לֹוֶ֣ה רָ֭שָׁע וְלֹ֣א יְשַׁלֵּ֑ם The wicked person borrows and doesn't pay back again . That does not imply that if somebody borrows income and for some purpose won't be able to fork out it again, he’s wicked. Rav Yehezkiel Levenstein clarifies it signifies that the person, at enough time of borrowing the bank loan, experienced no way to pay out it back. This does not imply that he borrowed with a prepare, and it failed to figure out due to some unanticipated expenditure including if an individual got Ill, or lost his job. This can be referring into a person that borrowed The cash without decide to repay it at time of borrowing. It’s a Halacha you could't borrow revenue if you don't know how you're going to fork out it again. Rav Kanievsky writes that someone the moment questioned the Chazon Ish, “ Is it possible to borrow dollars with no strategy, depending on Bitachon- Relying on Hashem which i'll get The cash when I want it?” There are lots of tales like that with wonderful rabbis, like the Ponovezher Rav and Other folks, who borrowed dollars without any plan and afterwards by some means, miraculously, any person showed up and gave them income, just in time. So are you presently permitted to do this? The Chazon Ish gave an unbelievable response. He suggests, “ Indeed, but only if you're prepared to lend anyone money to the idea of bitachon.” You cannot use bitachon selectively, and say, “ I'll use bitachon to borrow dollars, but I would not use bitachon to lend cash.” It has to be real. We’ve explained in advance of that there is a idea known as Bitachon Mezuyaf/copyright Bitachon , which happens to be bogus bitachon. You will be making use of it for a tool. It is not real. You're not likely relying on God. From time to time you're just lazy and use bitachon being a coverup. So how can we know when bitachon is true? The Chazon Ish has an entire piece on this. There are men and women that, obviously sing the bitachon music when almost everything's likely appropriate, but then quickly, another person opens a retail store throughout the road from theirs, and all their bitachon goes out the window. It wasn't authentic. The Chazon Ish is saying you already know if it’s real when a person knocks at your door and suggests, “ I do not seriously Possess a strategy but you should lend me income.” Do you think you're now able to invoke that Bitachon that that you are going to have the a reimbursement right after this guy borrows the money from you?

Within the Aged Testomony, "bittachon" is employed to describe the rely on the devoted area in God, versus reliance on human power or material wealth.

states, “…the audio of a rustling leaf will pursue them, and they're going to flee as 1 flees the sword, and they'll tumble although no person pursues” (

Reading and telling stories of Other folks who lived on bitachon also allows. But almost nothing aids more than meditating deeply upon the deep marriage we Each individual have Along with the Source of All Good, and putting that conviction to be just right for you Every time essential.

In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), presents additional insights about the amount 15 and its connection to shalom : · It really is the number of words and phrases in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates in the blessing of shalom . · Also, he describes, a hand has fourteen joints, a few on Just about every of the four fingers and two on the thumb. For that hand to represent shalom, it wants yet another part. Thus, Chazal instructed us that when we generate a berachah on the cup of wine, we must always maintain the cup during the palm in the hand; in this place, it can be known as the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm results in being the hand’s fifteenth element, Consequently symbolizing shalom . · He connects this concept for the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah Students increase peace.” It's because the rabbis have elevated the events for utilizing a kos shel berachah. These involve Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, along with the night time of Pesach. They are all instances in which we spot the kos within our palm, contacting into assistance the fifteenth part of our hand, So symbolizing the Title of Shalom . · During the six weekdays, we clean for bread twice per day, twelve situations in all. On Shabbos, We now have a few meals, which delivers the 7 days’s complete to fifteen. Shabbos is daily of peace as a result of fifteenth food, Seudas Shelishis, which brings shalom . Moreover, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is among the most opportune time to pray for Arba Minim, the Four Species we bless throughout Succos. As we learned within our dialogue on Succos, the 4 species symbolize unity among the 4 sorts of Jewish individuals. How come we pray regarding these 4 species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis reveal that if we look at the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they are bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the working day on which, according to the Gemara , the sap commences working within the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we are able to start generating Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we say on viewing the tree’s buds start to blossom. The seasons development until finally finally, we arrive at Succos, once we harvest the fruit. As a result, the progression toward Succos starts on Tu b’Shevat, when we pray for the necessary shalom from the Shivtei Kah, which finally expresses itself around the festival of Succos With all the Arba Minim. Shevat would be the thirty day period, and Tu b’Shevat the working day, uniquely primed for our initiatives to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.

God dwelled on them mainly because they invested enough time to contemplate and bring Him down. And we too need to spend time contemplating, as we pointed out yesterday, mainly because if just one would not commit time in advance of praying, then, although he's praying, he is probably daily bitachon not current. Hacham BenSion gave a mashal for this: Imagine that you have an important business Assembly, and many of the vital consumers are sitting down round the desk. Then you walk to the meeting, set an image of your self down, say, “ Listed here’s my image,” and stroll out. You are not existing. When a person prays and they're not focused, It can be like they set their photograph down, but they are not seriously there. The Rambam talks concerning this in Moreh Nevuchim , segment 3, chapter 51, exactly where he says, “It can be doable that someone can pray With all the movement of his lips, together with his face from the wall, but he's thinking about his have private requirements and what he must do,” that's what most of the people do. When you close up your eyes, abruptly your head will become flooded with all of the things which you'll want to do. And he says, on that individual, we are saying an exceedingly, strong or detrimental verse, קָר֤וֹב אַתָּה֙ בְּפִיהֶ֔ם וְרָח֖וֹק מִכִּלְיוֹתֵיהֶֽם You are close to God along with your mouths and you simply’re significantly , (practically) from a kidne ys (which refers to your internal views). Your inner ideas are not likely linked to Hashem. That is The problem of prayer. Prayer is called Avodah/ service. What's the company of God? I generally assumed the assistance of God is always that while you're praying, you happen to be serving God. Although the Avudarham, in his commentary on prayer, prices Rav Abraham, the son of Rabi Yitzhak, the Av Wager Din , and one of the Rishonim . He claims that prayer is called support , and also the do the job of that support is one-to remove the feelings from your thoughts which have been creating you to be preoccupied in worldly matters, and a pair of-to subjugate your ideas for your prayer. So the real position of prayer is just not necessarily if you're praying, it is the pre-activity show that you've got To place your attempts into. And if you put the appropriate attempts in beforehand, then your prayer goes effortlessly. To recap, we’ve discussed two explanations of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. one- As we talked over yesterday, it means Privileged are people who wait around in God's home. two- Fortunate are people who grow to be God's household. AAnd They are really achieved a similar way: by weighing, considering and imagining prior to deciding to pray. Have an exquisite working day.

You need to be steady within your Bitachon. It cannot be something which is there conveniently for the purposes and in your use. It’s vital that you understand that people can misuse Bitachon. I realize a fellow that needed to head out with a lady that some other person was relationship. He was planning to use all kinds of strategies to cause them to breakup. I still try to remember his line, “ Well if it's Nasib (the Arabic way of saying Bashert), we are going to turn out marrying the appropriate people today. However, you can’t do all type of ruthless issues and after that say it was meant for being. Meant to be implies you are doing everything suitable and It really is intended for being. Men and women frequently utilize the ‘ meant for being card’ to cover up their unique misdeeds. I'm able to’t shoot you and say, “ Perfectly, certainly you died, so it absolutely was meant being. ” That's misused Bitachon. We must be quite cautious of that. And this is what the Chazon Ish is pointing out-Really don't deceive you. In case your Bitachon is genuine, it'll do the job both strategies. You'll borrow based upon it, however, you'll lend according to it also. And when you received’t lend dependant on it, some thing's Completely wrong. A different time that you are not designed to use Bitachon is when another person relates to you for funds (for a wedding, by way of example). That isn't time to state, “ You should be owning bitachon now.” Also, whenever someone comes to you with a challenge or they may have some want that they need your help with, it’s not some time to start out providing them Bitachon. Bitachon isn't an justification or a method outside of you satisfying your tasks. The Hovot Halevavot has an entire piece on that, when he talks about Mitzvot. You can not say, “ I'll go slumber with no an alarm and use bitachon that I'll get to shul. ” It would not operate this way. There are actually specific times that you've to get carrying out matters, and you can't use bitachon. It’s a fancy topic, since it is often misused, and as a consequence You need to be aware of the mishaps. As the Hovot Halevavot writes, “ Each and every good quality has a thing that can spoil it, in-built. Much like every fruit includes a worm which will spoil it, every single good quality includes a worm that will destroy it.” If you're not cautious and you don't know what can cause very good features to get messed up, you can turn out slipping into a trap. Watch out for These bitachon mishaps, such as the a single we commenced with: Do not borrow dollars according to bitachon if you wouldn't lend funds depending on bitachon.

to the tragic denial of Hashem’s existence completely. As We're going to find out in an future installment, a lack of liable motion not merely fails to transform emunah

The cash that he owns is The cash that he sends forward. Furthermore, in Sedaka, you will discover unique amounts of providing. The Rosh suggests that from the Parasha that talks about what to offer, it states gold, silver and brass (or copper). He claims this refers to various amounts of Sedaka. When a person is healthier and wealthy, and everything's going very well and he offers Sedaka, not due to the fact he's worried, or mainly because he demands something, then It can be gold . He’s providing Sedaka to give Sedaka. When a person is Ill or has some obstacle, it's also very good, but it drops to silver. And when someone is admittedly in dire straits and he's dying, and he provides it away, then it drops to copper. They're all fantastic, but there are distinct degrees. Rav Yissachar Dov of Belz experienced a close university student, who was incredibly rich, and reported he was planning to leave all his income for soon after he dies. Comparable to the Tale from the will, he stated he’d give almost everything to many of the Mosdot just after this death, simply because, as he explained, “ Given that I'm here, I don't want to become about the giver record.” The Rebbe replied having a mashal: There was a man who borrowed a large sum of money, Allow’s say $a hundred,000, from his Mate. He was imagined to give it back again at a specific time, but enough time handed, and he kept pushing it off. Then, at some point The person that owed The cash was touring Using the man that he borrowed The cash from, and abruptly a gaggle of robbers surrounded them and held them up for The cash. At that instant, The person that owed the money told his Pal , “I made a decision to spend you back again now.” Certainly! As you’re going to reduce the money in any case, so I would in addition pay back you back now if the robbers are right here declaring, ‘Your cash, or your lifetime.’ The Rebbe explained instructed him it had been exactly the same point when someone waits right until he is nearly dying to offer absent his money. Very well, very great. It truly is your hard earned money, or your life. It is going to be separated from you anyway. Time to present dollars is when the person has no stress and just gives it to present. That's the highest stage, that's the level that is termed zahav/gold . We are actually from the offering year, Purim is coming, with Matanot L’Evyonim , Mahasit HaShekel, Maot Hittim , and every one of the superb leads to which can be coming our way. Let's make the most and provides within the golden way, and let us understand that The cash that we give is actually The cash that we take. Have a beautiful day along with a Shabbat Shalom.
