We carry on with hiddushim of Bitachon from Rav Chaim Kanievsky on Tehilim. In chapter 66, pasuk three, David Hamelech says, אִמְר֣וּ לֵ֭אלֹהִים מַה־נּוֹרָ֣א מַעֲשֶׂ֑יךָ בְּרֹ֥ב עֻ֝זְּךָ֗ יְֽכַחֲשׁ֖וּ לְךָ֣ אֹיְבֶֽיךָ׃ We'll say to God, ‘How amazing are Your functions and also your fantastic energy. Your enemies will deny they ever sinned against You.’ They'll recognize how potent You will be plus they’ll deny every little thing once they’re placed on trial. They'll try to deny all the things as they'll recognize they will be punished. That is The straightforward clarification. Rav Chaim Kanievsky brings offers a Midrash Raba in Esther, ten,15 exactly where it states that ‘ How awesome is God,’ usually means “ How amazing are Your strategies that you simply do to humble the enemies within a most wondrous way ? Those that are alleged to be killed will lead to the Other folks to generally be killed. Those people who are purported to be hung will bring about their hangers being hung. Those that have been pushed in The ocean will find yourself leading to those who pushed them to go in The ocean. People who had been burnt will cause the Many others to get burnt. And those that be thrown for lions, they cause the Other people to generally be thrown into your lions.” Exactly what does that mean? Rav Chaim Kanievsky points out that in historical past, we see that when the enemies of the Jews seek to demolish them, the really spot that they attempted to destroy them with bounces back on them. -One of many 1st situations of the was Moshe Rabbenu. It states that he called his son Eliezer to remind himself that God saved him with the sword of Paroah. Exactly what does that necessarily mean?They desired to kill Moshe because it was noted to Paroah that he killed an Egyptian taskmaster, but when the executioner strike Moshe Rabbenu’s neck along with his sword, God produced 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 choose to hold will be hung, is Haman. He geared up the massive pole to hang Mordechai on, but instead, he was hung on it. - Those that are drowning men and women during the ocean refers to the Egyptians that commenced off by drowning the Jewish small children.

(יז) וּלְאָדָם אָמַר כִּי שָׁמַעְתָּ לְקוֹל אִשְׁתֶּךָ וַתֹּאכַל מִן הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִיךָ לֵאמֹר לֹא תֹאכַל מִמֶּנּוּ אֲרוּרָה הָאֲדָמָה בַּעֲבוּרֶךָ בְּעִצָּבוֹן תֹּאכֲלֶנָּה כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ:…
In the last three classes, We have now spoken about concentrating throughout prayer. We brought quoted a Mishna in Berachot, chapter five, that discusses the pious men of aged who used one hour prior to they prayed, contemplating, as a way to apparent their head from your clutter. There are some text in that Mishna, ahead of it talks with regard to the pious Males of old. It states, אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ You must start praying that has a Koved Rosh/seriousness . But Rashi interprets Koved Rosh as humility . Why is humility so significant for prayer? In Alei Shor (vol 1 page 113), relating to ways to empty your thoughts through the muddle before you decide to pray, Rav Wolbe asks how one can just quickly end everything small business you had been involved in simply a minute ago, you ended up completely engrossed in? How can we just ignore all that? He states the one way to make it happen is always to understand that all of that company needs prayer for fulfillment. Only through praying will We have now the appropriate outlook about the small business that we do. We should always understand it is not my power and my electricity that makes it transpire. When You begin to pray, out of the blue you start pondering, “ I have To accomplish this. I have to do this ,” whether in your business, or your fast paced day…the cake You will need to bake, the kids you have to pick up from college... How come all Individuals things pop into your thoughts when You begin to pray? Why is it so tricky to concentration? How come each one of these feelings arrive at thoughts? He claims, it’s a sign that we don't actually feel that we want prayer for our accomplishment. And thus, he states, the most important interference to our praying with kavana is not our ADHD, or our fast-paced life. Not surprisingly, that is an element of it, but the principle issue is our arrogance . What activates Individuals thoughts that flood our intellect? What's the minor device which is generating all Those people feelings? It’s our arrogance. Driving all of those thoughts is the elemental belief that I'm in control of my daily life and I make the issues occur. If I don't contemplate them, and I do not deal with them, they're not gonna be taken care of. We have to notice the elemental error in that arrogant outlook.

The only way to repair it can be by annulling yourself to God. That is the whole objective of prayer. We start out our prayers with bowing, and we pray with our feet and fingers locked, to symbolize that we will not do everything. Inside the words and phrases of Rav Wolbe, “ Prayer and conceitedness are an oxymoron.” They do not work together. The full essence of prayer is humility, and with that humility, you can get the proper outlook on existence. For that reason, we have to set time in to center on these important points. Meaning You will need to have slightly inner dialogue with yourself. When you start praying, and people thoughts come to your brain, You need to prevent on your own and say, “ Hmm, there you go once more. You're thinking that you're in cost. You think you make matters transpire. You do not make issues take place. God can gradual everything down.” You might be considering, “ How am I intending to make the sale?” But Who's likely to verify the boat comes in on time? Who's heading to make sure they fork out?” You are not in cost. There is a lovable Tale Rav Matityahu Salomon explained to over at the time. He explained, there was a person in England, where he utilized to Dwell, who was a cutthroat in business. He was pretty, very difficult. But he prayed an incredibly, extremely long Amidah. Anyone (Most likely Rav Matityahu) the moment requested him, “ Why are you praying for so long? You look like you truly know how to deal with your enterprise. You might be in control.” He answered , “I pray to Hashem that I determine what I am executing in my business enterprise, but I understand You could spoil every thing. So remember to, depart me. Allow me to do my issue.” That is what many people sense like. “ I can definitely manage it. Just, Hashem, Do not mess nearly anything up. Never spoil something .” But that is a completely warped method of taking a look at factors. There's no good results with devoid of Hashem . If, although our eyes are shut, praying to Hashem, we are not able to concentrate on Him, and we are only contemplating our techniques and our hishtadlut and our things to do, which is an indicator that deep down, we predict we're building all the things transpire. And thus, it means It's important to rethink your method of Who's actually producing issues occur. That's the operate of Kavana, and that's the do the job of prayer. Have an excellent day.
As an alternative to saying, “Woe is me! Who will help me?” you say, “My help is from G‑d, who can make heaven and earth—and as a consequence can perform whatever He would like with them.”
Hashem is kind, loving and merciful. Hashem made me as a way to give to me. And Hashem needs precisely what is for my finest. Though I'm dependable for being proactive, I am not accountable for the end result, and I am not the determinant of the outcome. That may be Hashem’s purpose. And so, while I do my section, I depend upon Hashem to care for me. I just take my
Just times once the Israelites crossed the Reed Sea accompanied by ample Divine pyrotechnics God gives them a exam to determine whenever they internalized the religion they professed at The ocean.
They had absolute confidence. It had been noticeable- the same as a prince does not Participate in while in the sandbox with beggars simply because he just doesn’t belong there. That was the strength of the Jewish individuals, Which’s what Amalek tried to remove- our sense of greatness. Haman attempted To achieve this to Mordechai at the same time. He attempted to interrupt Mordechai. But about Mordechai it suggests, “ We Jewish men and women don't bend. We do not bow .” We are not damaged. And we do not develop into humbled before all the attackers. So not only did Haman not split Mordechai, but the other took place. Haman ended up parading him with the streets about the horse. That is what takes place inside our era likewise. There are generally people today that check out to make Jews come to feel secondary and unimportant. In accordance with the Gaon of Vilna and a lot of Other individuals, Germans are descendants of Amalek, and their total position was for making the Jews truly feel like they weren’t even human. Ignore that getting the selected individuals, they desired us to come to feel subhuman. They tattooed figures into our arms just as if we had no identity. Like we weren’t a people. But we must lift ourselves up and know that we would be the Am HaNivchar. W e're not gonna be afflicted by the outside chatter of social media marketing, by each of the “ Hitler was appropriate,” opinions and the many antisemitism. It’s all there to break us. But the job of Purim should be to raise us up. We have to comprehend how Particular we have been. We have been that bubbling bath. We are classified as the untouchables. On Purim, Nahapochu - anything turns close to , and we can be uplifted. Rav Wolbe utilized to express daily bitachon that Purim is enough time wherever we begin to see the correct greatness of the Jewish men and women. Look how we act after we're drunk! Not one person is killing one another, Anyone's just blessing one another. Everyone seems to be joyful and everybody's dancing. Mishloach Manot, Matanot L’Evyonim….It truly is a gorgeous working day. It truly is a beautiful time, and we are alleged to stroll out of it on fireplace , noticing the exceptional characteristics along with the Specific traits in the Jewish folks. Have a very Shabbat Shalom.
