We go on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter sixty six, pasuk 3, David Hamelech states, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We'll say to God, ‘How amazing are Your acts along with your excellent energy. Your enemies will deny that they ever sinned against You.’ They can recognize how solid You're and so they’ll deny every thing when they’re put on demo. They will seek to deny everything as they'll recognize they will be punished. Which is the simple rationalization. Rav Chaim Kanievsky brings quotations a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,15 wherever it suggests that ‘ How awesome is God,’ indicates “ How awesome are Your strategies you do to humble the enemies in a most wondrous way ? People who are purported to be killed will trigger the Other folks to generally be killed. Those people who are supposed to be hung will induce their hangers being hung. Those who were pushed in The ocean will finish up triggering those that pushed them to go in The ocean. Those who have been burnt will result in the Other people to get burnt. And people who be thrown for lions, they lead to the others to generally be thrown in the lions.” What does that imply? Rav Chaim Kanievsky points out that in record, we see that in the event the enemies of the Jews try and demolish them, the incredibly spot they made an effort to wipe out them with bounces back again on them. -Among the list of to start with scenarios of this was Moshe Rabbenu. It states that he identified as his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him from your sword of Paroah. What does that signify?They needed to eliminate Moshe mainly because it was claimed to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but in the event the executioner strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck together with his sword, God created a wonder that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, as well as knife bounced again and killed the executioner. -An illustration of The ones that would like to hold is going to be hung, is Haman. He well prepared the large pole to hold Mordechai on, but as an alternative, he was hung on it. - Those that are drowning people today from the ocean refers back to the Egyptians that started off off by drowning the Jewish young children.
Chovos HaLevavos is usually that trust in Hashem results in assurance and tranquility from the soul. We simply cannot drive ourselves to really feel tranquil. Our capability to free of charge ourselves from get worried and believe in in the end result is specifically proportional to the quality of our decisions.
We keep on with insights into the well known chapter that we are saying 3 times on a daily basis, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. The primary A part of Ashrei, אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ ע֝֗וֹד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ is located in Tehilim chapter 84,5. The Chida, his commentary Yosef Tehilot, prices from the Rama M’Pano, who asks the subsequent concern: The right Hebrew for this verse אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, which means, “ Fortunate are the ones who sit in Your own home,” must be אשרי יושבי ב ביתך Ashrei Yoshvei B’ Betecha Fortuitous are the ones who sit in your house. What does “ Privileged are the ones that sit your home ,” suggest? He explains that it seriously implies is, “Privileged are classified as the folks, who, they them selves, turn into the home..the chair, the dwelling place of God Himself.” So we go through it as Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, People who sit and come to be Your property. They're Your hous e. They're God's home. That is the job of every Jew, as we are saying, “Zeh Eli V’Anvehu/This can be God, and I will develop a dwelling spot for Him.” The dwelling place for Him isn’t just an exterior setting up just like the Guess Hamikdash or perhaps the Mishkan, but alternatively the person himself . This idea demonstrates up during the Alshech, who explains, the pasuk in which Hashem states V’Asu Li Mikdash/Make for Me a Mikdash, And that i’ll dwell in them . It doesn't say dwell in it ( which means the Mishkan). “ I’ll dwell in them , means the Jewish people today. These days, we don't have a Mishkan or Mikdash. But we have our prayer. And whenever we pray, God dwells in us . We speak to God once we pray, mainly because He’s there. After we pray, He comes down, to your extent that there's a Halacha that just one will not be allowed to wander in front of an individual when They are praying. The easy motive is because it may distract them. Although the deeper motive is mainly because if they're praying, the space around them gets to be holy, like a Bet Mikdash, so you're able to't enter that holy zone that is encompassing a person once they're praying. And that clarifies, heading back to we mentioned yesterday, how the pious Guys of old, would contemplate for an hour or so ahead of they prayed. As we reported, the source was Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Lucky are people who (only) sit and hold out. But now We now have a deeper explanation: Lucky are the ones that grow to be God's dwelling . How can we come to be God's residence? What delivers the Shechina down? It comes down only by means of believed and contemplation. Plus the Shulchan Aruch provides down that these pious Adult males of aged would get to these high amounts of link that it was Virtually similar to a prophecy.
don't just impacts our individual lives but additionally influences our relationships. Once we have confidence in in Hashem, we The natural way turn out to be a lot more affected person, being familiar with, and compassionate towards Some others. This produces a ripple effect, advertising a culture of support and like in just our communities. Conclusion
And it’s the exact same with bitachon. For anyone who is relying on 10 distinct persons, everyone thinks someone else will assist you to out. But when you only have a person individual, they're going to arrive by. That is how it is Along with the widow as well as orphan. They've got no one else. Rabbenu Bachye provides to this pasuk of your widow and also the orphan, that they are weak. They have got no one to help them. Hence, they depend only Hashem, who's the Ozer U’Mashiach U’Magen , as we say every day during the Amida . He states this pasuk is telling us that they are assisted greater than anyone else simply because they Possess a damaged coronary heart. We also uncover this in Mishpatim 22, 26, wherever it talks about somebody who normally takes absent a person’s collateral- he doesn't return the borrower’s pajamas during the night. Hashem states, “ That borrower will cry out to me and I'll listen to him for the reason that Hanun Ani/ I'm gracious.” “ I'm gracious and I listen to the supplications of any individual,” states the Ramban, “ Whether or not he isn't befitting, if he cries out to me, I'm there for him. ” The Ramban states we must not Consider this only applies to someone which is righteous. Hashem states, “ Hanun Ani, I listen to the cries of any person that phone calls out to Me.” Tosafot in Rosh Hashana 17B points out that this idea of Hanun is although the person is not deserving. Why? As we discussed right before Yom Kippur, if someone borrows a hundred pounds and offers his only pair of pajamas as collateral, afterwards that night time, the fellow will return for getting his pajamas. And In the event the lender doesn’t want to offer him back again the pajamas for the reason that he requires a collateral, the borrower will provide his coat, which he doesn’t will need in the evening. So each day the guy that lends The cash needs to go forwards and backwards switching the coat for that pajamas. It’s ridiculous. And also the lender doesn’t have to make it happen. But he need to Keep in mind which the borrower is crying out. Whether or not he has no claim, it isn't going to generate a change, mainly because God states, “ If someone cries out to Me , I pay attention.” The concept is identical throughout. When anyone feels he has nobody else to depend on but Hashem, that is the most powerful prayer, irrespective of whether he is deserving or not. Have an exquisite day and also a Shabbat Shalom.

Rav Chaim Palagi writes in his sefer , Moed L’Kol Chai (Ch. thirty, Letter 2), that the whole thirty day period of Shevat is infused While using the middah of Hod, glory — the basic principle trait of Aharon HaKohen. As a result, he suggests, During this thirty day period, our spiritual mission is to target emulating Aharon HaKohen by loving and pursuing peace, which incorporates seeking to foster peace concerning people who have grievances in opposition to one another, and among spouses who're not residing in harmony. Even though these are typically praiseworthy pursuits usually, all through Shevat they take on included worth. The identify Shevat, says Rav Pilagi, includes a touch to this idea. It can be spelled shin-beis-tes . The shin means shalom, peace ; this delivers guess , for berachah, blessing; and tes, for tovah, goodness. As We all know, Hashem has stated that He has no vessel that is healthier for holding blessing besides peace. No blessing We've got — wellness, wealth, achievement, relatives, close friends — could be appreciated if our lifestyle is churning with machlokes and anger. Since Tu B’Shvat would be the 15th of your thirty day period, in the event the moon is at its fullest, it's the fullest expression of peace concerning man and his fellow. This is further alluded to as follows: The term Shevat may also be recognized as shevet, tribe; and tu — tes vav — could be the numerical equal of fifteen, that's Similarly the sum of Hashem's Title of Yud and Hei . That is definitely why ( Tehillim 122:4), the Shevatim are referred to as Shivteh Kah — the tribes of God . Rashi points out ( Bamidbar 26:5), that we have been named “the tribes of God” since when God counted the Jewish men and women, He additional His Title to ours. For example, He explained, “ Mishpachas H achanoch i ” — the relatives of Chanoch — inserting a hei before the relatives identify along with a yud at the conclusion of it. In doing this, His message was, “I'm imprinting on the Jewish individuals My title of Yud and Hei to testify towards the purity of their people.” The Maharsha ( Kiddushin 70B) clarifies that when a partner and spouse have peace between them, God's Identify of Yud and Hei dwells with them. Male — ish — is spelled alef - yud-shin. A girl is definitely an ishah — alef-shin-hei. Both of those words and phrases include the letters alef and shin, which with each other spell aish, fire. However, when they carry Hashem into their lifetime, the man has the Yud from God's Identify, and his spouse has the Hei from God's Title; Hence, the hearth is mitigated. The Yud and Hei symbolize Hashem’s Title of Shalom ; hence the term shalom bayis. Tu B’Shvat, the fifteenth on the month, symbolizes this idea of peace.

With Hashem's help, I a short while ago came across a commentary on Tehilim published by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To comprehend Tehilim, it is vital to grasp the background and historical context of your chapter that David Hamelech is crafting about. What exactly was occurring in his in life when he wrote it? Often he tells us what precisely’s taking place within the heading, no matter whether he’s functioning absent, getting chased, etc. But at times he will not. And sometimes, it looks as if he's telling us what is going on on, but we really Really don't get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, along with his large expertise in Torah, finds a Midrash that assists us fully grasp one particular these kinds of chapter. Chapter 30 known as Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a track for that commitment of the House, referring towards the Wager Hamikdash, by David. There are 2 issues with this. Number 1 is David Hamelech was not in the Hanukat HaBayit- he died ahead of that. As we’ve reviewed in the past, Rashi explains that he wrote it to get mentioned with the Hanukat Habayit. The next difficulty is that there is no discussion in the Hanukat HaBayit During this Mizmor. It suggests, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I called out for you and you simply healed me. You elevate me from the depths, and so forth. What does which have to carry out With all the Hanukat Habayit? More into your perek, it says, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will Dust praise You and say over Your truth? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ So that my soul will sing for you without end.. So, yet again, what is going on on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was Ill for thirteen several years, as he says in a distinct perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Each night time I am crying in my bed . So he suffered for 13 several years, And through this time his enemies daily bitachon hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was naturally praying to have out of this example. What bought him out of it? He eventually arrived up with the subsequent prayer, “ Remember to preserve me making sure that I will provide the toughness to program the Bet Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he received away from his bed and wrote what’s called the Megilat Binyan Wager Hamikdash/ the architectural programs for your Guess a HaMikdash, and God listened to his prayer.
Over the past three lessons, we have spoken about focusing in the course of prayer. We introduced quoted a Mishna in Berachot, chapter five, that discusses the pious Gentlemen of aged who invested an hour or so in advance of they prayed, thinking about, to be able to obvious their thoughts from the litter. There are some terms in that Mishna, prior to it talks in regards to the pious Guys of aged. It suggests, אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ You need to commence praying using a Koved Rosh/seriousness . But Rashi interprets Koved Rosh as humility . Why is humility so vital for prayer? In Alei Shor (vol one web site 113), about the best way to vacant your intellect in the litter before you decide to pray, Rav Wolbe asks tips on how to just suddenly cease all of that business enterprise you were being associated with just a moment in the past, that you choose to ended up absolutely engrossed in? How do we just ignore everything? He says the sole way to do it would be to recognize that all of that business requirements prayer for fulfillment. Only via praying will We've got the correct outlook around the company that we do. We should realize it is not my power and my energy which makes it occur. When you start to pray, out of the blue you start contemplating, “ I've To accomplish this. I've to try this ,” no matter if in your organization, or your active day…the cake It's important to bake, the youngsters You should pick up from school... How come all People items pop into your head when you start to pray? Why is it so difficult to concentrate? How come all these feelings come to head? He says, it’s a sign that we don't definitely think that we want prayer for our success. And so, he states, the greatest interference to our praying with kavana isn't our ADHD, or our quick-paced daily life. Not surprisingly, that is a component of it, but the leading trouble is our vanity . What turns on All those views that flood our thoughts? What is the tiny equipment that is creating all All those views? It’s our vanity. Driving all of those thoughts is the fundamental belief that I'm in command of my lifetime And that i make the issues occur. If I do not think of them, and I don't take care of them, they are not gonna be looked after. We must know the elemental mistake in that arrogant outlook.
Daily in Ashrei, we say, 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 suggest? A lot of people want factors and don't get them. How can we are saying “Lchol Chai/ All people, with out an exception?” He solutions determined by the Gemara in Arachin , 16B that claims an illustration of yissurim is if you set your hand in your pocket to obtain a nickel and you are taking out a dime as a substitute. He claims we see from this that nearly anything that doesn't go In accordance with someone's will is referred to as yissurim and brings kapara , and so, he solutions, Every person definitely receives their Ratzon/will, nevertheless it’s gathered in with the debts that they owe. Exactly what does that suggest? He compares it to a king who produced an announcement about the working day of his celebration, that everyone would get 10 gold cash. Then anyone walked into the bash, who happened to owe the king 10 gold cash. So the king reported, “ Just choose it off his personal debt .” Can we are saying he failed to get something? Naturally he received anything! It’s just that he obtained it and promptly paid out it off. Likewise here. For instance that every day 100 pounds will come down in the heavens for someone. But someday, he claims, “ I only bought $ten!” “Certainly, You merely obtained $ten, since, thanks on your sins, necessary a kapara, so we took away $90, and used it in the direction of what you owe.” In his Sefer Ahavat Hessed (part 2, chapter 13) the Chafetz Chaim brings this out beautifully from the renowned Gemara in Bava Batra 10B, where it suggests, “ The same as somebody's mezonot/ the sum of money they're going to make is made the decision every single calendar year, so far too, the amount of money they'll reduce is made a decision each calendar year.” And when you benefit, the money that you eliminate will go towards sedaka. The story with the nephews of Rav Yochanan Ben Zachai is advised -He saw in a very aspiration they have been gonna get rid of 700 coins that 12 months. So he held on pushing them to give charity, but was a bit in need of seven-hundred coins. Ideal in advance of Yom Kippur, they were seventeen cash wanting the 700. Then the King's officers arrived and took 17 coins from them. They went to Rav Yochanan to him, and and he said, “I understood it was heading to occur ,” and informed them in regards to the dream. They questioned him why he didn’t explain to them, and he described that he wished them to give the Sedaka lishma . The Chafetz Chaim says that from this Tale, we see that, as being the Gemara states, an individual’s lackings are decided each year. But why really should I lack nearly anything? If I created $90,000 last yr, does that indicate I used to be purported to generate a $one hundred,000 and I dropped $ten,000 or was I just designed to make $90,000? What does it mean that my losses are determined? The Chafetz Chaim clarifies beautifully that It really is resolved not only that you're going to make $ninety,000, mainly because Then you really get no kapara .

Compared with emunah, bitachon won't Reside within someone inside a uniform condition. More often than not it’s good sitting down while in the history: You go about your small business the very best you are able to, with great religion that “G‑d will bless you in what ever you need to do,” and thus it’s not your own personal smarts or labor that should supply achievement, but “G‑d’s blessing is exactly what makes a man rich.”
