We proceed with a few nice Bitachon thoughts from the commentary of Rav Chaim Kanievsky in Tehilim . In chapter 34, pasuk 19, David Hamelech suggests, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near the damaged hearts. one. He rates from a Midrash known as Otiot Rebi Akiva (letter eight), that says, “ Whoever's heart is broken and whose spirit is small, the Shechina walks with him all day. It’s just as if a Mizbe’ach is built in this person’s coronary heart and He's bringing Korbanot on it, as the brokenhearted are dearer to God compared to the angels that He has while in the heavens.” And afterwards he offers An additional Midrash, in Vayikra Raba chapter 7, that claims, “ God's utensils are broken utensils.” Ordinarily, we like to use utensils which are entire. But God differs than human beings. He makes use of broken utensils. Like it claims, קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב God is near to the people who find themselves broken hearted. It claims, “ The sacrifices of God can be a broken heart.” The Gemara points out that it say” sacrifices ,” in plural, because a person who contains a damaged coronary heart is sort of a going for walks Guess Hamikdash , bringing offerings to God, and so God dwells there. That's why when an individual is in that point out, he is closest to God, and closest to staying answered. קָר֣וֹב ה׳ לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב People who have humble spirits, He'll preserve. רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ ה׳׃ The issues in the righteous are many and Hashem will help save them. Rav Chaim Kanievsky clarifies that especially at the point of Rabbot Ra’ot/ countless issues, once the sword is on his neck, and it will not seem that there's any way to get out of the situation, which is once the wonder comes about. That is much like what transpired at Keriat Yam Suf/the splitting of The ocean. When a person is at The purpose that he does not see a method out, this triggers him to become brokenhearted, and he will probably begin to see the yeshua .

We carry on with insights into the famous chapter that we are saying three times each day, Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha. The first Component of Ashrei, אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ ע֝֗וֹד יְֽהַלְל֥וּךָ סֶּֽלָה׃ is present in Tehilim chapter 84,five. The Chida, his commentary Yosef Tehilot, quotations with the Rama M’Pano, who asks the next issue: The appropriate Hebrew for this verse אַ֭שְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵ֣י בֵיתֶ֑ךָ Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, which implies, “ Fortunate are those who sit in Your home,” needs to be אשרי יושבי ב ביתך Ashrei Yoshvei B’ Betecha Privileged are those who sit in your home. What does “ Fortuitous are those that sit your own home ,” imply? He points out that it genuinely implies is, “Fortuitous would be the men and women, who, they by themselves, turn out to be your house..the chair, the dwelling place of God Himself.” So we read it as Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha, Those who sit and come to be Your own home. They are Your hous e. They're God's residence. That is the career of each Jew, as we say, “Zeh Eli V’Anvehu/This can be God, and I'll create a dwelling place for Him.” The dwelling spot for Him isn’t just an external creating similar to the Bet Hamikdash or even the Mishkan, but instead the person himself . This idea displays up while in the Alshech, who explains, the pasuk in which Hashem suggests V’Asu Li Mikdash/Make for Me a Mikdash, And that i’ll dwell in them . It won't say dwell in it ( meaning the Mishkan). “ I’ll dwell in them , signifies the Jewish people today. Right now, we don't have a Mishkan or Mikdash. But we have our prayer. And when we pray, God dwells in us . We check with God whenever we pray, for the reason that He’s there. Once we pray, He arrives down, into the extent that there is a Halacha that just one is not permitted to wander in front of someone although They are praying. The easy motive is since it will distract them. Even so the further motive is due to the fact every time they're praying, the Room all over them results in being holy, like a Bet Mikdash, so you can't enter that holy zone that is surrounding a person if they're praying. Which describes, heading back again to we mentioned yesterday, how the pious Males of old, would ponder for an hour right before they prayed. As we reported, the resource was Ashrei Yoshvei Betecha/ Fortunate are individuals that (only) sit and wait. But now We've got a deeper explanation: Privileged are those who turn into God's house . How do we turn out to be God's house? What delivers the Shechina down? It comes down only as a result of believed and contemplation. And also the Shulchan Aruch brings down that these pious Gentlemen of old would attain this kind of superior amounts of connection that it absolutely was Pretty much similar to a prophecy.

With Hashem's aid, I not long ago stumbled on a commentary on Tehilim composed by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To be familiar with Tehilim, it's important to understand the track record and historic context with the chapter that David Hamelech is creating about. Just what was taking place in his in life when he wrote it? Often he tells us just what’s occurring while in the heading, irrespective of whether he’s jogging away, being chased, and so on. But from time to time he doesn't. And in some cases, it looks as if he's telling us what is going on on, but we actually Do not get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, along with his huge expertise in Torah, finds a Midrash that helps us fully grasp 1 these kinds of chapter. Chapter 30 is called Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a track for that devotion of the House, referring to your Wager Hamikdash, by David. There are 2 issues with this. Primary is that David Hamelech wasn't on the Hanukat HaBayit- he died right before that. As we’ve talked about up to now, Rashi describes that he wrote it to be mentioned in the Hanukat Habayit. The 2nd problem is that there's no dialogue with the Hanukat HaBayit In this particular Mizmor. It states, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I identified as out for you therefore you healed me. You carry me from the depths, etc. What does that have to accomplish with the Hanukat Habayit? Even more into your perek, it claims, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will Dust praise You and say in excess of Your reality? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ To ensure that my soul will sing to You forever.. So, yet again, what is going on on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was Ill for thirteen yrs, as he states in a unique perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Just about every evening I am crying in my mattress . So he endured for thirteen years, And through this time his enemies hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was obviously praying to receive out of this situation. What bought him from it? He eventually came up with the subsequent prayer, “ Make sure you help you save me to ensure I will have the power to approach the Guess Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he bought outside of his bed and wrote what’s called the Megilat Binyan Guess Hamikdash/ the architectural strategies to the Bet a HaMikdash, and God listened to his prayer.

Over the past 3 courses, We've spoken about focusing for the duration of prayer. We brought quoted a Mishna in Berachot, chapter 5, that discusses the pious Guys of outdated who expended an hour or so just before they prayed, contemplating, so that you can crystal clear their brain within the litter. There are some terms in that Mishna, just before it talks regarding the pious Males of aged. It claims, אֵין עוֹמְדִין לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ כֹּבֶד רֹאשׁ You have to begin praying that has a Koved Rosh/seriousness . But Rashi interprets Koved Rosh as humility . Why is humility so critical for prayer? In Alei Shor (vol one page 113), relating to the way to vacant your intellect in the litter before you decide to pray, Rav Wolbe asks ways to just all of a sudden stop everything company you have been involved with merely a second in the past, that you were totally engrossed in? How can we just forget about everything? He says the only way to get it done should be to realize that all of that business wants prayer for achievement. Only by praying will we have the correct outlook about the organization that we do. We must always understand it is not my toughness and my energy that makes it take place. When you start to pray, quickly you start imagining, “ I have To achieve this. I've to do that ,” irrespective of whether in your enterprise, or your fast paced day…the cake You should bake, the youngsters You need to get from school... why do all Those people issues pop into your brain when You begin to pray? Why could it be so challenging to concentrate? How come each one of these views arrive at head? He states, it’s an indication that we do not definitely think that we'd like prayer for our achievements. And therefore, he states, the most important interference to our praying with kavana will not be our ADHD, or our quickly-paced existence. Not surprisingly, that is a component of it, but the key difficulty is our vanity . What turns on All those views that flood our head? What is the very little device which is producing all Those people thoughts? It’s our conceitedness. Powering all those views is the fundamental perception which i'm in command of my life And that i make the matters happen. If I don't contemplate them, and I don't take care of them, they don't seem to be destined to be cared for. We must know the fundamental miscalculation in that arrogant outlook.

Which is why wheat, out of each of the vegetation, is decided on to say “ with the depths,” and that's why when we speak about our berachot , there is a distinction between Hamotzi Lechem Min Haaretz and Boreh Peri HaAdamah . He says the time period HaAretz refers to the depths While Adamah is the upper, a lot more superficial layer. So another vegetables come from Adamah as well as the Lechem arrives Min Haaretz daily bitachon . The information is that out on the depths, from the rotting and seeming deterioration is where The expansion will come. This is why we are saying Et Semach David/ The expansion of David Hamelech . We talk about the development of Mashiach Ben David as being a growth. We take a look at Boneh Yerushalayim as a constructing , but we also look at development . The symbolism of development is that it comes when points are deteriorating. Development comes when it looks like items are just being ruined, and we don't see any improvement. That's the way growth comes about- only by deterioration. And that is why we sing this tune of Shir Hamaalot/A tune in the depths, to recognize that that is where by expansion comes from. The commentaries declare that we sit on the ground we sit on the floor on Tisha B’Av- to symbolize that we are taking place. But then, in the course of the working day, at Hatzot, we stand up- simply because as We all know, it claims Mashiach is being produced on Hatzot of Tisha B’Av. Just at The purpose where we're happening and seemingly rotting and deteriorating, that is where Hashem is making ready the future progress. That's the information of the wheat kernel, and that's the psalm of Shir HaMaalot Karaticha/from your depths I connect with to You Have a fantastic working day.

Usually translated as “have confidence in,” bitachon is a powerful sense of optimism and confidence dependent not on rationale or encounter, but on emunah. You are aware that “G‑d is good and He’s the one 1 in demand,” and thus you have no fears or frets.

Unlike emunah, bitachon doesn't Stay within a person in a uniform state. Usually it’s wonderful sitting from the track record: You go about your company the very best you may, with excellent religion that “G‑d will bless you in whichever you need to do,” and therefore it’s not your very own smarts or hard work that can provide good results, but “G‑d’s blessing is exactly what would make a man rich.”
