399 - Soothing The Pain

TRANSFORM YOUR EMUNAH! ·

2025/08/01

Although the ideal course would be to be constantly mindful throughout the year about the lack of our Besamikdash, and as we are taught by Torah commentaries, the pain that the Shekhinah feels at not having a dwelling place in our midst, nevertheless, even throughout the year, there are practices that the Halacha outlines for us in order to help us connect to the exile that we are in, and to the fact that the Shekhinah is in pain with the destruction of the Besamikdash. The Shulchan Aruch outlines

One of the foundations to Torah and Judaism is the belief in the coming of Mashiach. In the Thirteen Principles of Faith outlined by the Rambam, we declare, I believe with complete emunah in the coming of Mashiach, and even though he may seem to be delaying his arrival, I nevertheless will eagerly await and anticipate his arrival every day. We've discussed many times that our job in this world ultimately is to have emunah, to believe specifically when we don't see and we don't understand. And here

397 - Paying On Time

2025/07/30

One of the many mitzvos that we have is the mitzvah to pay a worker on time for their services. Simply speaking, when somebody does a job for me and the usual expectation is to be paid on the same day, then unless stated otherwise, one is obligated to complete the payment without delay. The Chofetz Chaim in his Sefer Ahavas Chesed writes that the reason many people do not fulfill the mitzvah of paying a worker on time is because many people are just not aware of the laws. It is important to remind

2025/07/29

There are countless Torah passages which outline the tremendously great value of Torah learning, and the emphasis Hashem places on this great mitzvah. The most famous one, perhaps, is the Mishnah we recite every day in the morning prayers, where the Mishnah says that the value of Torah learning is equal to all of the other mitzvahs put together. So if one thinks of the tremendously great impact that we are taught each mitzvah provides - giving tzedakah; lighting Shabbos candles; putting on tefillin;

We learned a very fundamental and important concept from the Gemara, which teaches us that it is actually considered a sin to be fearful of circumstance and individuals. The more we internalize ein od milvado, that there is no other power in the world outside of Hashem, and v'hu levado asa veoseh veyaaseh l'chol hamaasim - He Hashem exclusively orchestrates every happening down to the most minor detail throughout all of our lives, the more we internalize these concepts, the more we will get closer

2025/07/27

We've been discussing that one of the automatic extensions of having bitachon in Hashem is that it leads to a life without fear. I don't fear any individuals nor any circumstances because I know that Hashem is exclusively running the show. We learnt the Gemara which teaches us that it is actually classified as a sin to be fearful. And although initially such a concept might be difficult to digest, upon reflection it is actually very easy to understand. Because if our mission in life is to have

2025/07/25

The Gemara in Brachos page 60a, relates that when one of the sages encountered that one of his students was fearful about something, the sage reprimanded the student, quoting a verse that states that it is a sin to be fearful. The reason for this is because when we internalize that Hashem exclusively orchestrates every happening throughout our lives down to the most minor detail, then when we fear another individual or some circumstance, it's as if we're acknowledging that there is another force

We've discussed the many Torah sources which teach very clearly that it is Hashem's will for us to pray to Him. According to our own logic and common sense, one might have thought that if one has true bitachon and emunah in Hashem, then if Hashem orchestrates our lives in a way that presents challenges for us, perhaps we might think that the ideal course should be for us to keep quiet and learn to be happy with what Hashem has given us.The bottom line is that it is absolutely clear from many Torah

2025/07/23

We've been discussing the powerful statement of the Ramban, which teaches us that the opportunity to apply bitachon is completely independent of our actions. Of course, we always have to try to do our best - more mitzvos and less aveiros, whilst at the same time to internalize that the many statements that we are taught from Torah sources about the power of bitachon, that when we trust in Hashem exclusively, He comes through for us and delivers, that applies to any individual who is choosing to

2025/07/22

We discussed the verse which says, "trust in HaShem and do good." And we mentioned the Ramban who explains that the reason this verse is written precisely in this way, firstly stating, "trust in HaShem" and only thereafter stating "and do good," is to teach us that the action of bitachon, the action of trusting in HaShem, within HaShem's perspective, is viewed independently of our deeds. Of course, as taught by countless Torah sources, we ought to do our best to score as best as we can on our

The verse states, "Betach bashem va'asei tov" - trust in Hashem and do good. The Ramban points out in his Sefer Emunah Ubitachon, that the verse is precisely written in this order. First the verse states, "trust in Hashem", and thereafter the verse says, "and do good." And the reason for this, says the Ramban, is because one might think that they are only worthy of trusting in Hashem and exercising their Bitachon where Hashem will come through for them, only under circumstances where we have done

On the one hand, the Torah teaches that we are supposed to love our friend just as much as we love ourselves. This mitzvah teaches us the importance of caring for other people, how we are to go out our way to make our maximum effort to helping out another individual, sometimes in the form of charity, sometimes in the form of putting a smile on our friend's face, or whatever else may be relevant. And on the other hand, the Gemara says that every individual is obligated to believe that bishvili nivra

We are taught that whilst the Jewish people were in the desert, they received their sustenance in the form of mann, which was food which fell from the heaven, which tasted like anything one wished for it to taste like. Commentaries explain that although the man fell from the heavens, not everybody received it in the same way. Those people that were completely righteous and had full faith in Hashem would wake up in the morning and open their front door and there they would have all the mann

Everybody who is alive needs sustenance. And although for many people, receiving one's sustenance might be a constant struggle throughout life, nevertheless, one way or another, people do recive their sustenance, some through easier means and some through more difficult means. The gemara states that the miracle of recieving one's sutenance, is on par to the miracle of the splitting of the sea. For most of us, if we were to actually witness the sea itself splitting in a dramatic way, and as the

One who doesn't believe in HaShem, God forbid, would of course not reach out to HaShem about anything. One who is privileged to be able to know the truth and believe in HaShem and know that He can help me and I have the opportunity to talk to Him about anything and everything, which would be a greater effort than doing anything else, much of the time does go ahead and talk to HaShem about my needs. Sometimes however, even with Emunah, we view HaShem as a vending machine, meaning just like if I go

When making a commitment to Hashem of how much time we are planning to commit to be our sacred time, just you and me Hashem, it is motivating to internalize what the verse states in Divrei Hayamim. The verse states, "For everything is from you, Hashem, and from your hand we have given back to you." Hashem created the world and Hashem created us. Every single moment of the 24 hours of the day is a gift Hashem has given to us. Hashem does not owe us anything. Unfortunately sometimes we fall into a

We've been discussing how when it comes to talking to Hashem, a basic practical application of emunah, although we might understand logically how it is so obvious and vital for us to talk to Hashem, because if we believe in Him, obviously we should have a personal relationship with Him, and although we might have also had the opportunity to learn what many Torah passages write about how vital and important it is for us to talk to Hashem and build that personal relationship, nevertheless, one of the

We've been discussing how one of the highest forms of expressing our emunah, belief in HaShem, in a practical way, is to talk to HaShem in our own personal words. And at the same time, how do we deal with the reality that it can be difficult to talk to HaShem, because HaShem is not seen nor heard. And ultimately it comes down to growing more in our emunah, because the more we believe He is there, the more real and obvious it will become to us to take our talking to Him seriously.

We've discussed many times that the Torah commentaries write, that the ultimate way for us to gain our place in the next world is by making our maximum effort to grow in our emunah. We've also mentioned how one of the highest expressions of emunah, belief in Hashem, is to place high focus in our dedication to talking to Hashem in our own words. We've mentioned previously how the Chofetz Chaim writes that the reason tragedies were befalling the people of his time was because although people were
