We proceed 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 will say to God, ‘How wonderful are Your acts as well as your great strength. Your enemies will deny that they at any time sinned versus You.’ They're going to understand how solid You will be and so they’ll deny almost everything once they’re placed on trial. They are going to seek to deny all the things because they'll realize they are going to be punished. That's The easy clarification. Rav Chaim Kanievsky provides quotations a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,fifteen where by it claims that ‘ How wonderful is God,’ usually means “ How great are Your methods that you simply do to humble the enemies within a most wondrous way ? Those who are purported to be killed will result in the Other individuals to become killed. Those who are speculated to be hung will bring about their hangers being hung. Those that were being pushed in The ocean will turn out causing those that pushed them to go in the sea. People who have been burnt will lead to the Other people to be burnt. And those who be thrown for lions, they bring about the Other folks for being thrown into your lions.” What does that mean? Rav Chaim Kanievsky describes that in background, we see that when the enemies with the Jews seek to demolish them, the pretty area they tried to demolish them with bounces again on them. -Among the list of to start with cases of the was Moshe Rabbenu. It claims that he identified as his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him with the sword of Paroah. Exactly what does that mean?They wished to get rid of Moshe because it was noted to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but once the executioner hit Moshe Rabbenu’s neck together with his sword, God made a wonder that turned Moshe’s neck into marble, plus the knife bounced back and killed the executioner. -An illustration of Those that wish to cling will be hung, is Haman. He organized the large pole to hang Mordechai on, but in its place, he was hung on it. - The ones that are drowning people within the ocean refers to the Egyptians that began off by drowning the Jewish youngsters.
Persons are normally seeking various ways to improve their Bitachon, along with the Chafetz Chaim offers us information on how to do so. He says that it’s our job is usually to reinforce our Bitachon. As being the pasuk in Mishleh suggests, קַוֵּ֥ה לה׳ וְיֹ֣שַֽׁע לָֽךְ׃ Kaveh L’Hashem V’Yoshah Lach/ Place your hope in Hashem has He will deliver you His information for strengthening Bitachon as follows: Return on your life and regularly ponder: How a few years Have you ever lived right up until now? The amount of many years have gone by? And with God's kindness, there wasn't per day that went by (I hope for everyone examining this) that you just didn't have foodstuff to eat, drinking water to drink, outfits, and also a destination to Reside . Baruch Hashem, we're not homeless. That is a little something to contemplate. Ponder the Hessed of Hashem. Hashem tells us that we're speculated to keep in mind the years that we expended within the Midbar , and Rabbenu Yonah says this is not pretty much the many years that we put in in the Midbar . It’s also concerning the yrs that we shell out On this entire world, under-going life's problems, and each of the Frightening things which materialize. Everyone has their scares, irrespective of whether healthcare, economical, or spouse and children-linked. We’ve all had them, and Baruch Hashem, we've gotten through them. We are nevertheless in this article, and we are however alive. So, based on my past, why am I concerned about tomorrow? We do not know the amount of more several years we're going to Stay, and we are able to believe that if He aided us until now, He’ll continue helping us. We have stated before, from the Chatam Sofer, that on occasion someone should glimpse back again at his lifestyle. As you become older, you begin to see additional connections. Much more items begin creating perception when you appear again on things which, many years back, appeared awful. For instance from my very own daily life, I figured out inside a Yeshiva known as Be’er Yaakov, under Rav Wolbe, but in just a yr of my arrival, Rav Wolbe chose to go away the yeshiva.
That is certainly why wheat, out of each of the vegetation, is chosen to say “ within the depths,” and that's why after we speak about our berachot , there is a difference between Hamotzi Lechem Min Haaretz and Boreh Peri HaAdamah . He states the time period HaAretz refers back to the depths whereas Adamah is the upper, more superficial layer. So one other vegetables come from Adamah along with the Lechem will come Min Haaretz . The message is always that out on the depths, from the rotting and seeming deterioration is in which the growth arrives. That is why we say Et Semach David/ the growth of David Hamelech . We discuss the development of Mashiach Ben David like a advancement. We mention Boneh Yerushalayim as a making , but we also discuss expansion . The symbolism of growth is always that it will come when things are deteriorating. Growth comes when it appears like points are only remaining ruined, and we do not see any development. That's the way development comes about- only by means of deterioration. And that's why we sing this song of Shir Hamaalot/A track within the depths, to recognize that that is where growth comes from. The commentaries express that we sit on the ground we sit on the floor on Tisha B’Av- to symbolize that we're happening. But then, in the course of the day, at Hatzot, we stand up- for the reason that as We all know, it claims Mashiach is staying made on Hatzot of Tisha B’Av. Just at the point wherever we are taking place and seemingly rotting and deteriorating, which is where Hashem is making ready the long run growth. That is the concept in the wheat kernel, and that is the psalm of Shir HaMaalot Karaticha/through the depths I call to You have got a wonderful day.

Set aside 5 to 10 minutes eventually inside the day to both journal or do the hitbodedut exercise answering these questions.
(א) ר' יהודה אומ' כיון שהגיע החרב על צוארו פרחה ויצאה נפשו של יצחק וכיון שהשמיע קולו מבין הכרובים ואמ' לו אל תשלח ידך נפשו חזרה לגופו וקם ועמד יצחק על רגליו וידע יצחק שכך המתים עתידים להחיות ופתח ואמ' ברוך אתה ה' מחיה המתים.
Rav Chaim Palagi writes in his sefer , Moed L’Kol Chai (Ch. thirty, Letter 2), that your entire month of Shevat is infused Using the middah of Hod, glory — the basic principle trait of Aharon HaKohen. For that reason, he says, During this month, our spiritual mission is to target emulating Aharon HaKohen by loving and pursuing peace, which includes trying to find to foster peace in between people who have grievances from one another, and concerning spouses who are not residing in harmony. When they're praiseworthy pursuits usually, throughout Shevat they tackle added worth. The name Shevat, states Rav Pilagi, incorporates a hint to this concept. It can be spelled shin-beis-tes . The shin stands for shalom, peace ; this provides guess , for berachah, blessing; and tes, for tovah, goodness. As We all know, Hashem has mentioned that He has no vessel that is healthier for Keeping blessing apart from peace. No blessing We have now — wellness, prosperity, achievement, family, friends — might be appreciated if our life is churning with machlokes and anger. Simply because Tu B’Shvat could be the fifteenth on the thirty day period, if the moon is at its fullest, it's the fullest expression of peace concerning gentleman and his fellow. This really is additional alluded to as follows: The term Shevat may also be understood as shevet, tribe; and tu — tes vav — will be the numerical equivalent of 15, which is Furthermore the sum of Hashem's Title of Yud and Hei . That is why ( Tehillim 122:4), the Shevatim are called Shivteh Kah — the tribes of God . Rashi points out ( Bamidbar 26:5), that we're referred to as “the tribes of God” since when God counted the Jewish men and women, He included His Identify to ours. Such as, He explained, “ Mishpachas H achanoch i ” — the family of Chanoch — inserting a hei in front of the household identify plus a yud at the end of it. In doing this, His concept was, “I'm imprinting on the Jewish people My name of Yud and Hei to testify to your purity of their family members.” The Maharsha ( Kiddushin 70B) explains that when a husband and wife have peace amongst them, God's Name of Yud and Hei dwells with them. Male — ish — is spelled alef - yud-shin. A lady is surely an ishah — alef-shin-hei. Both of those terms include the letters alef and shin, which together spell aish, fireplace. However, when they bring about Hashem into their existence, The person has the Yud from God's Name, and his spouse has the Hei from God's Title; Consequently, the fireplace is mitigated. The Yud and Hei characterize Hashem’s Title of Shalom ; therefore the phrase shalom bayis. Tu B’Shvat, the fifteenth with the thirty day period, symbolizes this concept of peace.
As astonished as we may very well be on the Sunshine and also the moon plus the celestial beings, they're just as is . Needless to say, as we claimed, They are remaining rejuvenated, but there isn't any change. The continuous improve in God's will is expressed down below, on the planet. The perek finishes off with, וַיָּ֤רֶם קֶ֨רֶן ׀ לְעַמּ֡וֹ תְּהִלָּ֤ה לְֽכׇל־חֲסִידָ֗יו לִבְנֵ֣י יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל עַ֥ם קְרֹב֗וֹ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ God lifts up the horn of His nation, the Jewish folks. This praise to His pious types, the Jewish people, this nation that is near Him. And on that we say a Distinctive Hallelu-yah. What this means is you'll find levels of action, so to convey, amounts of transferring and happenings. We begin with the Solar as well as moon- They are constant. The globe is also frequently changing, and God's identify is revealed, but wherever can it be seriously occurring? It can be taking place with Am Kerovo/ His country that's near Him. We will be the location in which all the things's definitely happening. Because it says, everything takes place with the Jewish folks. Many of the improvements and all of the upheavals- it’s all going on in the long run, to find the Jewish people today and the globe at big, to its final aim. We’re called Am Kerovo/The country that's close to Him , which has multiple explanation. A single easy rationalization is always that we're shut, as in distance, that He’s not significantly clear of us, He's right around us. But the deeper clarification is the fact that Am Kerovo suggests we are related to Him. We’re the country that God sights as His relatives. We’re His little ones, we’re His family. Finally, somebody's work is for his family members. His emphasis, and his target in every little thing he does is for his wife and kids. In The full planet, with everything which is occurring all over us, who's the relatives of God , that is He focusing on? He's concentrating on us , and We have now to understand that with A part of that massive Jewish household of God. Indeed, the father goes for conferences, and flies to California and China and will take individuals out for meal and all form of matters - but what’s it seriously all occurring for? To ensure that him to return home and have a food together with his relatives, daily bitachon and that's the world at huge. You will find the things which are usually there, and there are actually things that are switching. After which there is certainly the real target, that is the Jewish folks. And We now have to understand we're Component of that Exclusive group of folks. He's observing us, He’s near us, and after we contact out, He allows us. Have an excellent working day.

Nowadays We're going to share two stunning Hashgacha Pratit tales about bringing back again somebody who was about to be dropped. In the primary story, a boy writes a Thank You letter to his parents within the working day of his marriage ceremony, as is customary for A lot of people. “ In case you bear in mind, ” he wrote, “ there was a time when I was in highschool, when I was not Finding out quite perfectly, and I used to be falling out. Father arrived and gave me a speech, As well as in every week or so, I rotated. You believed that's what brought about me to turn around. But allow me to show you the actual story: I was genuinely dropping reduced. I used to be hanging about with not the very best of buddies. We had essentially acquired tickets to go on a trip, and we were being just going to have some fun. Just what exactly prompted me to change my head?

So she produced two cakes. A person gorgeous, seven layer cake, which was intended for that Sheva Berachot, and a more easy cake, which was for the siyum. But when her son opened the fridge that early morning and noticed The attractive cake, he couldn’t feel what his mother experienced designed for his siyum, and he took it to school. When his mom recognized what took place, she regarded visiting the faculty to modify it. But when she thought of how enthusiastic her son was, she made a decision to depart it. Her son arrived residence that day and stated, “ Wow! All another Young ones purchased licorice and minimal items, and I purchased this unbelievable cake!” And he was so proud of himself. He wrote which the early morning that he was about to go on this trip, he went into a bakery and he noticed a 7 layer cake within the window. And it strike him, how strongly his mom felt about his Studying And exactly how Exclusive it absolutely was. He just could not provide himself to get it done, so he informed his Mate he was not occurring the journey with him. And anything turned around. What an unbelievable story! Search how Hashem orchestrated that, via a blunder, the 7 layer cake wound up visiting the siyum, and afterwards the boy observed a cake like that about the day of his trip and circled.
