We proceed with Bitachon associated views from Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s commentary on Tehilim. In chapter 148, which we are saying every single day, David Hamelech is hunting in to the creations in the heavens and also the earth to praise Hashem. He commences off with הַ֥לְלוּ־יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הֹוָה מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֑יִם הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בַּמְּרוֹמִֽים׃ Praise Hashem from the heavens, from significant previously mentioned the many angels, each of the hosts, the sun, the moon, each of the celestial beings, The heavens significant higher than, the drinking water over the heavens… And what is their praise? יְֽ֭הַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם ה׳ כִּ֤י ה֖וּא צִוָּ֣ה וְנִבְרָֽאוּ׃ וַיַּעֲמִידֵ֣ם לָעַ֣ד לְעוֹלָ֑ם חׇק־נָ֝תַ֗ן וְלֹ֣א יַעֲבֽוֹר׃ That God commanded and created them, and He put them up there forever. He built a established rule, that shall under no circumstances change. That's what we comment as soon as per month about the moon, that there's the cycle of the Sunshine, the cycle of your moon. All the things that is during the heavens is largely static . Then he goes on to praise Hashem over the earth. Let us praise Hashem from your deaths, the fire, the hail, the snow, the smoke, the winds, the mountains along with the valleys, the trees, the animals, the crawling creatures, the birds, the kings, the ministers, younger boys and younger women, outdated men and lads. After which it states, יְהַלְל֤וּ ׀ אֶת־שֵׁ֬ם ה׳ כִּֽי־נִשְׂגָּ֣ב שְׁמ֣וֹ לְבַדּ֑וֹ ה֝וֹד֗וֹ עַל־אֶ֥רֶץ וְשָׁמָֽיִם His identify is higher than by itself, His glory is to the heavens as well as earth. Rav Chaim factors out that there’s a big difference in how we talk about the heavens and earth. Regarding the heavens, it says, God commanded and designed them, but regarding the earth, it suggests His identify is exalted for good… Why the real difference? He states it’s as the generation on the heavens was a one particular time creation. The Sunlight is made once, the moon is established after. Not surprisingly, it suggests that God proceeds to pump Power into creation, and that He can make (not created ) the great luminaries, but inside our eyes, They are static. They do not transform. Conversely, precisely what is down about the earth is consistently renewed and refreshed. You will discover new horses, new bears, new bees…things are consistently modifying. Each of the items in the heaven was made with a certain function and also a finite quantity, but about the earth matters are frequently getting recreated and rejuvenated, since This is when anything happens.

We're going to shell out a while speaking about the mizmor of Ashrei that we say three times per day. Significantly is claimed about Ashrei. In reality, who suggests it 3 times on a daily basis is confirmed Olam Haba. The Mishna in Masechet Berachot (fifth chapter) describes how the Hasidim HaRishonim /pious Gentlemen of old would consider an hour or so just before they prayed, to be able to have proper kavana . The Gemara in Berachot 32B says the resource for This really is, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/fortuitous are the ones that sit in Your home. But how? The place will we see, through the words “ Fortunate are the ones that sit in Your property,” that a person is speculated to contemplate before prayer? One of the explanations is the fact “ Fortunate are those that sit in Your house, ”signifies that you don't have to say nearly anything. Just sitting down in your property accomplishes anything. That is significant, and it’s brought down in the entire poskim and commentators. The significance of waiting around before you pray is introduced down l’halacha in the Rambam. It states that anyone ought to devote some time in advance of he prays, to obvious his brain of the many muddle if you want in order to give attention to The point that he's standing in front of God in prayer. Our minds are so occupied and so preoccupied that we have to just take out that time. Rav Wolbe, in his sefer Alei Shor (vol two, pg 359), states which the Hasidim HaRishonim waited an hour or so. We really need to wait around something . Exactly what does ‘ a little something’ necessarily mean? He suggests that 5 minutes could be excessive, so check out just one minute to the clock. Sit for one particular minute, in the spot, and say nothing at all. Just know that you are going to stand before Hashem and filter the litter of your respective brain. He suggests that we've been frequently rushed, inside our contemporary existence. We're generally shifting at that quick tempo, and we need to slow down before we pray. So he implies sitting down for a single moment. And that's our Ashrei Yoshveh Betecha. This fortune will come by sitting down , waiting around and planning, whether in shul or at your house, prior to deciding to pray. This idea didn't very first exhibit up Using the Hasidim HaRishonim. In accordance with the Seforno’s being familiar with, it’s really a command from God Himself. In Bereshit 35,1, Hashem tells Yaakov Avinu, וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶֽל־יַעֲקֹ֔ב ק֛וּם עֲלֵ֥ה בֵֽית־אֵ֖ל “ Go and acquire up and go to Wager El and dwell there .

is not a set of stories, parables, or motivational quotes. Rather, it attracts over the knowledge of the Torah, basic resources, and ideas of human mother nature to offer a rational exploration of bitachon — a transparent framework for understanding the way it operates and the way to obtain it.

While in the Previous Testament, "bittachon" is applied to explain the believe in that the trustworthy place in God, instead of reliance on human toughness or content wealth.

On the flip side, bitachon will not be a method to govern the universe. Your belief won't make good—The nice in which that you are so self-assured is presently the underlying fact.

In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), gives even more insights within the number fifteen and its link to shalom : · It's the amount of words and phrases in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates in a very blessing of shalom . · Additionally, he explains, a hand has fourteen joints, three on Every single from the 4 fingers and two about the thumb. For that hand to represent shalom, it wants yet one more element. Thus, Chazal instructed us that when we generate a berachah on a cup of wine, we should always maintain the cup within the palm of the hand; With this placement, it truly is called the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm gets to be the hand’s fifteenth ingredient, Therefore symbolizing shalom . · He connects this concept into the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah Students increase peace.” It's because the rabbis have elevated the situations for employing a kos shel berachah. These contain Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, plus the night of Pesach. These are all periods where we location the kos within our palm, calling into assistance the fifteenth component of daily bitachon our hand, As a result symbolizing the Name of Shalom . · In the six weekdays, we clean for bread 2 times per day, twelve periods in all. On Shabbos, We've 3 meals, which brings the week’s overall to fifteen. Shabbos is daily of peace due to the fifteenth meal, Seudas Shelishis, which brings shalom . On top of that, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is among the most opportune the perfect time to pray for Arba Minim, the 4 Species we bless throughout Succos. As we figured out inside our discussion on Succos, the four species symbolize unity Amongst the four varieties of Jewish people today. Why do we pray pertaining to these four species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis explain that if we think about the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they are bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the day on which, based on the Gemara , the sap starts off managing within the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we will start off generating Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we are saying on observing the tree’s buds begin to blossom. The seasons development until finally finally, we arrive at Succos, once we harvest the fruit. Consequently, the development towards Succos starts on Tu b’Shevat, when we pray for the mandatory shalom with the Shivtei Kah, which at last expresses itself to the festival of Succos Along with the Arba Minim. Shevat could be the thirty day period, and Tu b’Shevat the day, uniquely primed for our endeavours to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.

God dwelled on them since they put in the time to contemplate and produce Him down. And we as well should spend time contemplating, as we stated yesterday, simply because if just one does not expend time right before praying, then, even though he's praying, he's not likely present. Hacham BenSion gave a mashal for this: Think about that you have an important small business Conference, and every one of the significant purchasers are sitting down across the desk. Then you definitely wander into the Conference, place an image of by yourself down, say, “ Here’s my picture,” and wander out. You are not current. When a person prays and they are not focused, It is really like they set their photograph down, but they don't seem to be genuinely there. The Rambam talks concerning this in Moreh Nevuchim , part three, chapter 51, in which he states, “It is really probable that an individual can pray Together with the motion of his lips, together with his experience in opposition to the wall, but he's thinking of his individual private requirements and what he should do,” and that is what many people do. When you close up your eyes, out of the blue your thoughts becomes flooded with each of the things which you'll want to do. And he claims, on that human being, we are saying an incredibly, impressive or damaging verse, קָר֤וֹב אַתָּה֙ בְּפִיהֶ֔ם וְרָח֖וֹק מִכִּלְיוֹתֵיהֶֽם You're near to God with your mouths and you’re far , (pretty much) from the kidne ys (which refers in your inner ideas). Your internal feelings are not likely connected to Hashem. This can be The problem of prayer. Prayer is called Avodah/ provider. What's the support of God? I usually assumed the services of God is the fact that When you're praying, you happen to be serving God. However the Avudarham, in his commentary on prayer, rates Rav Abraham, the son of Rabi Yitzhak, the Av Guess Din , and one of the Rishonim . He says that prayer is termed assistance , and also the get the job done of that company is one-to remove the views out of your brain which are leading to you to become preoccupied in worldly issues, and a pair of-to subjugate your thoughts on your prayer. So the true work of prayer just isn't automatically if you're praying, it is the pre-recreation show that you have to put your attempts into. And when you put the right endeavours in beforehand, then your prayer goes effortlessly. To recap, we’ve talked about two explanations of Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. one- As we mentioned yesterday, it means Fortunate are those that wait in God's dwelling. 2- Fortunate are people who turn out to be God's dwelling. AAnd They can be accomplished the same way: by weighing, thinking about and pondering before you pray. Have a beautiful day.

Everyday in Ashrei, we are saying, פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His hands and satiates to Most people, what his wills are. Asks Rav Chaim Kanievsky, What does this necessarily mean? Many of us want matters and don't get them. How can we say “Lchol Chai/ Everyone, devoid of an exception?” He responses according to the Gemara in Arachin , 16B that says an example of yissurim is if you place your hand as part of your pocket to obtain a nickel and you are taking out a dime instead. He says we see from this that everything that doesn't go In keeping with anyone's will is known as yissurim and delivers kapara , and thus, he answers, Everyone actually will get their Ratzon/will, but it surely’s gathered in for your debts that they owe. Exactly what does that mean? He compares it to the king who made an announcement around the working day of his get together, that everyone would get 10 gold coins. Then a person walked into the celebration, who transpired to owe the king ten gold cash. Therefore the king reported, “ Just consider it off his financial debt .” Can we are saying he failed to get something? Not surprisingly he bought some thing! It’s just that he got it and instantly paid it off. Similarly below. Let's say that every day a hundred dollars arrives down through the heavens for somebody. But in the future, he says, “ I only bought $10!” “Sure, you only got $10, due to the fact, due towards your sins, necessary a kapara, so we took away $90, and utilised it to what you owe.” In his Sefer Ahavat Hessed (section two, chapter 13) the Chafetz Chaim brings this out superbly from a well known Gemara in Bava Batra 10B, where by it suggests, “ The same as somebody's mezonot/ the amount of money they are going to make is made the decision each year, so too, the amount of cash they will lose is determined each year.” And when you benefit, the money which you shed will go to sedaka. The story with the nephews of Rav Yochanan Ben Zachai is explained to -He saw in a desire that they have been likely to drop seven hundred cash that year. So he held on pushing them to provide charity, but was a little in need of seven-hundred coins. Ideal prior to Yom Kippur, they have been seventeen coins in need of the seven hundred. Then the King's officers came and took seventeen coins from them. They went to Rav Yochanan to him, and and he claimed, “I realized it had been heading to occur ,” and informed them with regard to the aspiration. They asked him why he didn’t convey to them, and he discussed that he wanted them to provide the Sedaka lishma . The Chafetz Chaim says that from this story, we see that, because the Gemara suggests, somebody’s lackings are made the decision each and every year. But why should I deficiency everything? If I produced $90,000 previous year, does that imply I had been supposed to produce a $a hundred,000 and I missing $10,000 or was I just designed to make $ninety,000? What does it signify that my losses are resolved? The Chafetz Chaim points out wonderfully that It is really determined not simply that you are going to make $ninety,000, simply because You then get no kapara .
