Parashat Balak: Putting Emunah into Practice

5h ago

—

In this week's parasha , Balak tried every which way to get Bilaam to curse the Jewish people. But as Bilaam repeatedly told him, “Whatever Hashem wants is going to happen and nobody could do otherwise.” People make all different kinds of efforts to accomplish many different things. We must always keep in mind that only what Hashem wants is going t…

The Only One Who Decides

1d ago

—

There are times when we make requests from others, but they deny those requests. We may feel that it would have been so easy for them to do what we were asking, and therefore we become insulted that we were denied. Other times we try to get in touch with people by calling them or emailing them and they don't respond and, once again, we get insulted…

Your Opportunity to Shine

12h ago

The Gemara in Masechet Berachot daf 20 says the earlier generations merited to have miracles done for them because of the great self-sacrifice which they put forth in their service to Hashem. The harder it is to do something, the more valuable it becomes. It says in Tehillim perek 44 כי עליך הורגנו כל היום - which Rabbi Yehuda HaChassid interpreted…

Money is Nothing…for Hashem

5h ago

—

Financial problems can be very difficult to deal with. A person may have tried so many ways to make more money, but nothing has worked. To make matters worse, he finds himself in enormous debt and doesn't see any way of getting out of it. He still needs money to cover his current expenses, but there's nowhere left to turn for help. He has prayed. H…

Fulfilling Our Role

3h ago

—

Our job in this world is to become the best ovdei Hashem we can possibly be. In order to achieve that, our motive has to be concern for Hashem's will, not our will. Sometimes we may be fighting for something spiritual with the mindset that we're doing it for Hashem. But deep down, we're really interested in ourselves. I heard a beautiful idea from …

Parashat Chukat: See Miracles

3d ago

—

Towards the end of this week's parasha, Chukat , there was a tragic incident in which the Jewish People spoke negatively against Hashem and against Moshe. Hashem sent fiery serpents to bite them and a large multitude of the people died. The remainder made teshuva and asked Moshe to pray to Hashem to stop the plague. Hashem then told Moshe to make a…

I Am Right Here with You

3d ago

We know Hashem is involved in every moment of our lives, but when we see it clearly it gives us a lot of chizuk . Life has its challenges, but when we feel Hashem is with us, then we know we can handle all of them. A man told me, he had an eye surgery scheduled and as the date was coming closer, he was naturally on edge. On the morning of the proce…

With Perfect Faith

10d ago

—

On our quest to acquire perfect emunah and think correctly, we want to purify our minds with the right hashkafa according to the Torah. The pasuk in parashat Ekev warns, if a person becomes well-to-do, he will forget about Hashem, saying, it is my might and strength that made me this wealth. The Saba from Kelm points out, the Torah does not say, ma…

Pure Hashkafa

6d ago

—

Part of the process of growing in emunah is to train ourselves to think with pure hashkafa . Our nature is to see things the way they appear to be, but we must be able to see beyond what meets the eye. When a person is sick and goes to the doctor, usually he gets better, and if he doesn't go and neglects his sickness, he usually gets worse. It is o…

Some people have a hard time hearing so many stories where people received the salvation they were hoping for in a timely manner. When people are struggling and not getting the yeshua they are seeking, it is definitely difficult to hear others getting what they themselves need. We must remember everyone has a different purpose in this world and eve…

Parashat Korach: Hashem Wants Our Hearts

Some people feel cheated when it comes to the abilities they were given in the realms of spirituality. They say, "If Hashem would have given me more money, I could be giving so much more tzedaka . If Hashem would have given me a bigger house, I could be excelling in the mitzvah of hachnasat orchim . If Hashem would have made me smarter, I would be …

Reduce Financial Stress

12d ago

A large part of the stress caused by finances is due to worry about the future, with thoughts such as, "We got by until now, but how are we going to be able to afford that?" The fear of the future can demoralize a person. Our Chazal taught us that basic emunah means if we have enough for today, we're not allowed to worry about tomorrow. Every day i…

Going Through the Motions

13d ago

We are familiar with one of the rules of hishtadlut, given by the Mesilat Yesharim, that it is required but not what really accomplishes. This idea gives us chizuk not to overdo it and to maintain our humility, recognizing that we don't deserve credit for our efforts, because it's really Hashem who accomplishes. Another area in which this concept h…

Empower Your Tefilot

14d ago

—

One of the greatest ways of empowering our tefilot is by believing in them more. When someone gets used to asking for the same thing day after day, even though he wants it so much, he tends to lose the energy and emotion that a good tefila requires. Sometimes, it gets to a point where tefila becomes just another box to check instead of the wondrous…

Parashat Shelach: Each Challenge a Test

22d ago

In this week's Parasha, Shelach, we read about the lack of emunah the Jewish people had in Hashem, which caused them to have to wander in the desert for 40 years before they could finally enter Eretz Yisrael. The Mefarshim tell us that the sins of the ז' עממין , the seven nations who occupied Israel at that time, did not yet reach the level that wo…

Age Does Not Matter

I have heard about numerous weddings taking place this past year where the bride was older than the groom, and in some cases by a few years. אשריכם ישראל that our young men are being guided by Daat Torah who does not conform to what the average person thinks is right and proper. Age does not matter. It's the person that matters. There are many zivu…
