Welcome to Daily ביטחון. We continue in our שער הבחינה talking about the benefits of the sun. We've also been talking about till now the vitamin D that's in your skin in a early stage that needs the sun to trigger it to be released. There's another important chemical that's in our skin naturally, but it's only a earlier stage, and that's called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels, increasing blood flow and therefore lowering blood pressure. So sun is good to lower your blood

Welcome to Daily Bitachon as we continue to explore the benefits of the sun. We're continuing with our theme that the sun releases vitamin D that's already existing in our skin. What else does vitamin D, our hero, do besides helping with our serotonin, helping with our immune system? It also helps the bones. It strengthens our bones by boosting calcium absorption in your gut. That means you can have all the calcium in the world that's necessary for bone building, as we all know calcium is good for

Welcome to Daily Bitachon as we continue to discuss Shaar Habechina in the benefits of the sun. There are a lot of misunderstandings on how the sun is beneficial to us. People always think that you catch a cold in the winter and even the term catch a cold means well it's cold outside so I caught the cold. Cold is not the problem, the enemy is not the cold. Why do we get sick in the winter and not in the summer? It definitely has to do with sunlight more than cold and we'll explain. And we go back to

Welcome to our daily dose of Bitachon . We continue in Chovot HaLevavot Sha'ar HaBechina where he tells us to think about the sun, the benefits of the sun, as we said every day, we make a beracha on the sun יוצר אור ובורא חושך. We say Yotzer HaMeorot and whenever you make a beracha on something, you want to benefit from it and appreciate the benefit. So one of the main benefits of sun, I'm sure many people have heard of this before, is vitamin D. Now, I like most people, go for a physical once a

Shabbat respect the source of beracha

Concerning Shabbat we say Lakodesh Hashem Michubad to the holy one of Hashem there should be honor. The Wolbe says a rule whenever you have kedusha with it comes kavod holiness needs respect. We say every day in our prayers קדוש קדוש קדוש השם Hashem is holy מלא כל הארץ כבודו the world is full of his honor wherever there is holiness there is honor. Why is that? Why must we honor the holiness? The commentaries explain based on a famous story with David Hamelech . David Hamelech was being chased by

Asarah B'Tevet - Brotherly Love

2025/12/30

Welcome to our daily Bitachon. Today is a special class for Asarah B'Tevet. As we know, today is a fast day—a significant day commemorating the siege laid against Yerushalayim and the eventual destruction of the first Beit HaMikdash. I use the word 'commemoration' loosely, because today isn't just about remembering the past; it's about taking action in the present. It is interesting to note the other readings that coincide with Asarah B'Tevet every year. In Parshat Vayigash , we always read about

Welcome to daily bittachon . We're in חובות הלבבות שער הבחינה, Chapter 3. And he now tells us that the signs of wisdom in creation show up in three types of areas. Area number one is signs that are quite apparent to everybody, and even the fool pick up on them, surely the wiser people. And his example is the sun. The power of the sun to light up the lands, to heat up the lands. And he quotes pesukim to that effect. The sun comes up, the sun goes out, people go to work, and this is wonders of

Welcome to our daily Bitachon . We're back on track with our Sha'ar Bechina . We left off talking about a principle that everything that we have in the world is made of smaller building blocks that are built up and then they are broken down into their particles and start the cycle again. And he asks of us to analyze this. And I'd like to give a very simple example. Again, these are things that for those that are not interested in science class, this might not be for you. But it's a responsibility

Welcome to daily Bitochon . I'd like to share with you a beautiful story that connects the concept that we spoke about previously called Nechama , which means the ability to look at a situation and give it a different outlook, different perspective. The story I heard from my father-in-law, Rabbi Nussen Sherman, who heard it from the protagonist, the Bluzhover Rebbe . The Bluzhover Rebbe was a great Chasidic Rebbe who passed away at age 99. And he went through slave labor camps, concentration camps,

Welcome to Daily Bitachon , we're continuing from yesterday's class where we spoke about the lesson from Rabbi Mattisyahu Salomon connecting Chanukah and the story of Yosef and the brothers. They both have one theme, which is that while things are happening they might seem like a comedy of errors but it's really being planned from the beginning. It's not a coincidence and then we save you at the end, but actually everything that was happening was the goal was to save you. Now we find the connection

Hanukah Yosef and The Brothers

Welcome to daily bitachon , a bitachon related thought on Chanukah . This comes from Rav Matisyahu Salomon's sefer Matnas Chaim on the topic of Shabbat . And there he discusses the concept that the readings that we read during the year match with the holidays that happen during that time. And when we read a parsha , it arouses a certain energy. We read about Yosef HaTzadik and his brothers and the lessons there, that's a certain energy. When Chanukah occurs, there's a certain energy, and it's not a

Welcome to our daily bitachon . We're going to be talking about Chanukah for the next week. The Ben Ish Chai tells us the first night of Chanukah , hopefully you'll be listening to this on the first day of Chanukah which still has that force, we make three b'rachot : l'hadlik to light the candle, she'asa nisim God made miracles, and shehecheyanu because it's a mitzvah that comes from time to time. He says there's a siman for this: עשה לך שרף ושים אותו על נס וראה אותו וחי. It's talking about the

Welcome to our daily bitachon . We are now in the topic of Shaar Habechina , recognizing God in creation. One of the things that the Chovot Halevavot asked us to do was to recognize how things in creation are put together and broken apart. We spoke about how God uses fundamental building blocks to create things. And as we said, there's a mixture of physicality and spirituality. You put into your body and those things that were put together are broken down into separate components, and they are sent

Welcome to daily dose of bitachon . We're now in our recognizing God in creation series. The next thing the Chovos Halevavos tells us is that a person must recognize that this world has spirituality and physicality. This is actually a deep understanding that although we see this world is a physical world, the underlying factor... Take an example when we eat and we live off of the food that we eat. Now, food is not alive. We're alive. How do we get life from food? And the answer is there is life in

Welcome to our daily dose of bitachon . We were going through the Chovot Halevavot , Shaar HaBechinah . We're now in the third chapter. He tells us how we're supposed to do this activity called bechinah , probing and looking for God in creation. He says the first thing you have to do is you have to look into the the building blocks of creation. Namely, fire, wind, water, and dirt, which is the approach that our rabbis tell us. Of course, we could break it down into smaller parts. And pay attention

Welcome to Daily Bitachon . We're on our Friday series where we talk about Shabbat . In our prayers of Shabbat , interestingly, every tefilah has a different theme. Friday night, we say Vayechulu , we say some pesukim that talk about creation. And we say that it's zecher l'maasei breishit . It's there to remember creation. In the Shacharit prayers, which we're going to discuss now, we mention Matan Torah and how special the Jewish people are. As it says, in Shemot 31:16, ושמרו בני ישראל את השבת, the

Welcome to our daily Bitachon series. We're going through Sha'ar HaBechinah . We learned yesterday that we have a responsibility to open the wrapping on the gift that God gave us. One of the gifts is our body, and there's millions of gifts, and I'm not exaggerating. Let's go through our blood vessels. When you get a cut, it heals. No one thinks about that. You get a scab, big deal. You ever tear your clothing and suddenly it's sewed up by itself? Strange, isn't it? So let's analyze what happens when

To start looking into creation and finding God. What's our, who said? He tells us there's three responsibilities. One is min hamuskal , my intellect says. One is min hakatuv from pesukim , and one is min hakabalah from our midrashim and our gemara . Now, if I tell you that you have to do something because your sechel says so, who said? What does

Welcome to our daily bitachon . We are now in the Chovot HaLevavot , Shaar HaBechinah . We finished our introduction and we're now starting the first chapter. He says something very interesting. Of course, we know there's one God, and God created everything. And his wisdom could be found in everything. Yet, there are a lot of different manifestations and different types of wisdom, although they all come from one root. Meaning, one could say, hold on, it's one God, why are things so different?

Welcome to our daily bitachon . We are talking about Sha'ar HaBechinah and the responsibility for those people that recognize God to share with those that don't, because we're supposed to make God beloved upon others. That's what all people try to do. As we said, if you love someone, you want the rest of the world to love them as well. In the source for this, said the Rambam , was Avraham Avinu , who's called Avraham ohavi , Avraham the one that loves me. There's a beautiful Rashi that brings this
