We continue on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter sixty six, pasuk three, David Hamelech suggests, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We'll say to God, ‘How brilliant are Your functions plus your great toughness. Your enemies will deny which they ever sinned in opposition to You.’ They're going to comprehend how powerful You're and so they’ll deny almost everything whenever they’re put on trial. They are going to endeavor to deny every thing mainly because they'll know they're going to be punished. That's the simple rationalization. Rav Chaim Kanievsky brings offers a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,fifteen the place it states that ‘ How magnificent is God,’ usually means “ How wonderful are Your techniques that you simply do to humble the enemies within a most wondrous way ? Those who are speculated to be killed will lead to the Other individuals being killed. Those who are designed to be hung will induce their hangers to become hung. Individuals who have been pushed in The ocean will end up resulting in people who pushed them to go in the sea. Those who have been burnt will induce the Other folks to get burnt. And people who be thrown for lions, they cause the Other folks to get thrown to the lions.” What does that imply? Rav Chaim Kanievsky points out that in record, we see that when the enemies in the Jews seek to damage them, the extremely location that they tried to damage them with bounces back on them. -One of several 1st conditions of the was Moshe Rabbenu. It says that he referred to as his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him in the sword of Paroah. What does that indicate?They desired to get rid of Moshe as it was documented to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but if the executioner strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck together with his sword, God created a miracle that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, as well as knife bounced back and killed the executioner. -An illustration of The ones that desire to hold will likely be hung, is Haman. He geared up the big pole to hold Mordechai on, but as a substitute, he was hung on it. - Those that are drowning men and women in the ocean refers to the Egyptians that commenced off by drowning the Jewish kids.
In the long run, they drowned in the sea. - Those that are being burnt refers to Hanania, Mishael and Azaria. Nevuchadnezzar made an extremely massive furnace and so they were being thrown inside. Once the executioners noticed that they were still going for walks close to inside, they leaned around to discover what was going on, the fireplace jumped out and so they have been burnt. Likewise, when the lions didn't eat Daniel, they mentioned, “ Oh, probably they are not hungry. ” So they threw the executioners in, and the lions, demonstrating they genuinely were being hungry, and ate the executioners. That is what Ma Norah Ma’asecha/How amazing are God's steps indicates. Along with the perek carries on, in pasuk ה and states, לְכ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ מִפְעֲל֣וֹת אֱלֹהִ֑ים נוֹרָ֥א עֲ֝לִילָ֗ה עַל־בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃ Go and see the operates of God, Norah/amazing are His leads to. All over again, the term Norah/magnificent is used. As we have claimed over and over, these two words and phrases, Norah Alilah are the source for the Ibn Ezra’s piyut , which Sephardic communities say in Ne’Ilah - “ El Norah Alilah, God Who is wonderful in His causes,” meaning that One of the more wondrous points about Hashem’s actions is the fact that we don't see them taking place in a immediate vogue. Hashem will make items materialize within an oblique way, and that is Norah Alilah. The pesukim go on describing how through the Galut , Hashem utilised This method of His Norah . David Hamelech is telling us this, suggests the Seforno, so that we, who're at this time within the exile, should really understand how Hashem functions. There'll arrive a time when whichever our enemies are performing or have completed to us will bounce back. We might not see it instantly, like once the sword strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck and bounced again, but similar to Mitzrayim, the place it took many years till those who drowned the Jewish toddlers were being drowned them selves, inevitably We are going to all say, מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ How magnificent are Your deeds? נורא עלילה על בני אדם Obviously, we see how God can make items occur in roundabout strategies, and ultimately whichever His decree is comes to be. Have an exquisite day.
We carry on with insights in the well-known chapter that we are saying three times every day, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. The very first Section of Ashrei, אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ ע֝֗וֹד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ is present in Tehilim chapter eighty four,five. The Chida, his commentary Yosef Tehilot, quotes through the Rama M’Pano, who asks the following question: The correct Hebrew for this verse אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, which means, “ Fortuitous are the ones who sit in Your own home,” ought to be אשרי יושבי ב ביתך Ashrei Yoshvei B’ Betecha Fortuitous are the ones who sit in your property. Exactly what does “ Privileged are those that sit the house ,” signify? He explains that it seriously usually means is, “Privileged are the persons, who, they them selves, turn into your house..the chair, the dwelling position of God Himself.” So we go through it as Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, Those that sit and come to be Your own home. They're Your hous e. They're God's house. That's the work of each Jew, as we are saying, “Zeh Eli V’Anvehu/This is certainly God, and I'll make a dwelling place for Him.” The dwelling spot for Him isn’t just an exterior creating such as Guess Hamikdash or maybe the Mishkan, but alternatively the individual himself . This idea displays up inside the Alshech, who clarifies, the pasuk exactly where Hashem says V’Asu Li Mikdash/Make for Me a Mikdash, And that i’ll dwell in them . It does not say dwell in it ( indicating the Mishkan). “ I’ll dwell in them , indicates the Jewish people. Nowadays, we do not have a Mishkan or Mikdash. But We've our prayer. And after we pray, God dwells in us . We check with God once we pray, since He’s there. Whenever we pray, He arrives down, on the extent that there is a Halacha that 1 just isn't allowed to walk in front of somebody although they're praying. The simple explanation is simply because it'll distract them. But the deeper purpose is because whenever they're praying, the space around them gets to be holy, similar to a Wager Mikdash, so you're able to't enter that holy zone that is surrounding someone after they're praying. Which describes, heading back again to we discussed yesterday, how the pious Males of old, would ponder for one hour just before they prayed. As we claimed, the source was Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Fortuitous are individuals that (just) sit and wait. But now We now have a further rationalization: Fortunate are the ones that turn into God's home . How do we come to be God's house? What provides the Shechina down? It arrives down only as a result of assumed and contemplation. As well as the Shulchan Aruch delivers down that these pious Guys of aged would get to these kinds of significant levels of connection that it was Nearly just like a prophecy.
With the very first test, Hashem sought to assure Avraham: “I will make of you an excellent country; I'll bless you and make your name fantastic, and you also shall be considered a blessing” (
No human being or other electrical power can transform my destiny. Hashem decrees the destiny of gentleman, and Hashem is there on the scene to execute that decree.

In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), provides further more insights within the range 15 and its link to shalom : · It is the quantity of text in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates in a very blessing of shalom . · On top of that, he describes, a hand has fourteen joints, three on Just about every with the 4 fingers and two on the thumb. With the hand to stand for shalom, it desires yet one more part. Hence, Chazal instructed us that after we create a berachah over a cup of wine, we should maintain the cup during the palm on the hand; Within this situation, it is known as the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm will become the hand’s fifteenth component, As a result symbolizing shalom . · He connects this idea into the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah scholars raise peace.” This is because the rabbis have enhanced the instances for using a kos shel berachah. These consist of Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, and also the night of Pesach. They are all occasions where we area the kos inside our palm, contacting into support the fifteenth ingredient of our hand, As a result symbolizing the Title of Shalom . · Over the 6 weekdays, we clean for bread two times each day, twelve moments in all. On Shabbos, Now we have a few meals, which delivers the 7 days’s complete to fifteen. Shabbos is each day of peace due to fifteenth meal, Seudas Shelishis, which delivers shalom . Also, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is the most opportune time to pray for Arba Minim, the Four Species we bless all through Succos. As we acquired within our discussion on Succos, the four species symbolize unity among the four forms of Jewish men and women. How come we pray with regards to these 4 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, according to the Gemara , the sap starts off working in the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we will get started creating Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we say on observing the tree’s buds begin to blossom. The seasons progress until lastly, we get there at Succos, once we harvest the fruit. Consequently, the progression towards Succos starts on Tu b’Shevat, whenever we pray for the mandatory shalom of the Shivtei Kah, which eventually expresses alone about the Competition of Succos With all the Arba Minim. Shevat would be the thirty day period, and Tu b’Shevat the day, uniquely primed for our initiatives to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.
A higher, however more enlightened emunah is that anything at the moment is sweet—even when it superficially seems horrible. See When Negative Is sweet with the stories of Rabbi Akiva and Nachum Ish Gamzu that illustrate how these two attitudes can Enjoy out during the resultant bitachon.
With Hashem's aid, I just lately stumbled on a commentary on Tehilim penned by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To know Tehilim, it is important to understand the history and historical context with the chapter that David Hamelech is creating about. Just what was happening in his in everyday life when he wrote it? At times he tells us what exactly’s happening inside the heading, whether he’s jogging away, being chased, and so forth. But often he does not. And in some cases, it looks like he is telling us what is going on on, but we actually You should not get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, along with his tremendous familiarity with Torah, finds a Midrash that helps us have an understanding of a single this sort of chapter. Chapter 30 is known as Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a music to the determination of your home, referring towards the Wager Hamikdash, by David. There are 2 issues with this. Number one is always that David Hamelech was not with the Hanukat HaBayit- he died right before that. As we’ve discussed in past times, Rashi describes that he wrote it for being stated for the Hanukat Habayit. The next problem is that there's no dialogue on the Hanukat HaBayit On this Mizmor. It states, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I identified as out for you and you simply healed me. You lift me from your depths, and so on. What does that have to do with the Hanukat Habayit? Additional to the perek, it claims, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will Dust praise You and say about Your real truth? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ To ensure that my soul will sing to you personally for good.. So, again, what is going on on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was Ill for 13 decades, as he states in a special perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Every single night time I am crying in my mattress . So he suffered for thirteen a long time, And through this time his enemies hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was naturally praying to get out of this case. What got him outside of it? He lastly arrived up with the following prayer, “ Make sure you conserve me so that I am going to provide the power to approach the Wager Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he received from his mattress and wrote what’s called the Megilat Binyan Guess Hamikdash/ the architectural plans for that Guess a HaMikdash, and God listened to his prayer.

Consumers are normally on the lookout for other ways to reinforce their Bitachon, as well as Chafetz Chaim provides us information on how to accomplish that. He states that it’s our job would be to fortify our Bitachon. Since the pasuk in Mishleh claims, קַוֵּ֥ה לה׳ וְיֹ֣שַֽׁע לָֽךְ׃ Kaveh L’Hashem V’Yoshah Lach/ Set your hope in Hashem has He'll produce you His information for strengthening Bitachon as follows: Go back on your lifetime and consistently ponder: How a few years Have you ever lived right until now? The quantity of many years have passed by? And with God's kindness, there was not a day that went by (I hope for everybody examining this) you did not have food items to try to eat, drinking water to drink, garments, in addition to a location to Reside . Baruch Hashem, we're not homeless. That's something to ponder. Ponder the Hessed of Hashem. Hashem tells us that we're purported to bear in mind the a long time that we expended during the Midbar , and Rabbenu Yonah claims this is simply not nearly the many years that we spent inside the Midbar . It’s also concerning the yrs that we expend With this environment, going through everyday living's troubles, and each of the scary things which transpire. Everybody has their scares, whether or not medical, economical, or household-similar. We’ve all experienced them, and Baruch Hashem, we've gotten via them. We are continue to listed here, and we are even now alive. So, based on my earlier, why am I worried about tomorrow? We don't know how many far more yrs we're going to Reside, and we are able to think that if He aided us till now, He’ll continue supporting us. We have outlined ahead of, in the Chatam Sofer, that from time to time somebody should glance back at his everyday living. While you get older, you start to check out a lot more connections. More daily bitachon factors begin building sense if you look back again on things that, many years back, appeared horrible. As an example from my own life, I learned within a Yeshiva identified as Be’er Yaakov, underneath Rav Wolbe, but in just a 12 months of my arrival, Rav Wolbe chose to go away the yeshiva.
The only way to repair it is by annulling oneself to God. That's the complete objective of prayer. We start our prayers with bowing, and we pray with our toes and fingers locked, to symbolize that we can't do just about anything. While in the text of Rav Wolbe, “ Prayer and arrogance are an oxymoron.” They do not do the job together. The entire essence of prayer is humility, and with that humility, you obtain the proper outlook on existence. For that reason, we really need to put time in to give attention to these crucial factors. Which means You need to have somewhat internal dialogue with your self. When you start praying, and those ideas come to your intellect, You should end yourself and say, “ Hmm, there you go again. You think you're in charge. You think that you make matters materialize. You don't make matters take place. God can gradual everything down.” You might be pondering, “ How am I gonna make the sale?” But Who's heading to be certain the boat is available in promptly? Who's going to be sure they pay out?” You're not in charge. There is a cute story Rav Matityahu Salomon told more than as soon as. He mentioned, there was a person in England, exactly where he utilized to live, who was a cutthroat in small business. He was extremely, extremely tough. But he prayed an exceedingly, quite prolonged Amidah. Someone (Potentially Rav Matityahu) as soon as requested him, “ Why will you be praying for so extensive? You look like you truly know how to deal with your business. You happen to be in control.” He answered , “I pray to Hashem which i really know what I am doing in my company, but I understand You can destroy all the things. So please, leave me. Allow me to do my issue.” That is what a lot of people come to feel like. “ I can really handle it. Just, Hashem, Do not mess just about anything up. Never wreck anything .” But that is a totally warped means of checking out things. There is absolutely no good results with without Hashem . If, although our eyes are shut, praying to Hashem, we're not able to target Him, and we're only serious about our strategies and our hishtadlut and our things to do, which is an indicator that deep down, we predict we are creating all the things come about. And therefore, it means It's important to rethink your method of Who's truly earning factors materialize. That is the perform of Kavana, and that's the perform of prayer. Have a fantastic day.
