Daily Bitachon3rd Level It’s Not So EasyFor a 10% discount on Rabbi David Sutton's new book A Daily Dose of Perek Shira click the link below https://www.artscroll.com/Books/9781422644584.html Welcome to Daily Bitachon . We continue with Rabbenu Avraham ben HaRambam's levels of Bitachon. The third level, which has many nuances to it, is, in his words, when someone relies on Hashem to get what he needs, מאמין בזאת/and he believes this, בוודאות—with conviction, ובלי ספיקות/without any doubts. That's a very high level. He says that מעלת בטחון שלישית זו, לא ישיגוה רוב בני אדם/ most people won't reach that level. Shedding more light on this level of Bitachon, he adds, הנעלה ונישגבה שבמעלות הבטחון/this is the highest and most elevated level. ולא בנקל תושג/ And it's not easy to attain. An example of this, he...

Rabbenu Avraham, son of the Rambam, in his sefer HaMaspik L'ovdei Hashem, talks about different levels of bitachon . Previously, we discussed lackings in bitachon. Now we will discuss the positive. The first level he mentions is a person who hopes and yearns for the fulfilling of his needs from Hashem, because of Hashem's great mercy, although, at the same time, he's concerned and worried about getting what he wants because he...

That was his source showing that we have a command from God to constantly hope to Him and never to despair. Today I'd like to share the context of this pasuk with you. In pasuk 3 of that chapter it says, ריב לה' עם יהודה / Hashem has a contention with Yehudah (the Jewish people), ולפק ד על יעקב /and wil...

We are quoting from the sefer HaMaspik L'Ovdeh Hashem from Rabbenu Avraham, son of the Rambam. He tells us there are two types of people that are lacking in Bitachon. One of them is the fellow that נואש האדם ממבוקשו/ has given up hope, יאוש /despaired on what he's looking for. ואיננו מצפה עוד להשיגו/and he's no longer hoping. The word ציפוי shares the shoresh with הר הצופים, Mount Scopus - looking from afar . So this fellow ואיננו מצפ ה /doesn't even see it on the horizon. It's just not coming. He really gave up hope...
2025-07-0800 minDaily BitachonThe Light at the End of the TunnelWelcome to the Daily Bitachon. Yesterday we spoke about what true Bitachon is, based on the words of the son of the Rambam, Rabbi Avraham. True Bitachon means that at all times, you are focused on Hashem as the direct Cause for everything, realizing that all intermediaries are nothing more than that—intermediaries. The Gaon of Vilna explains three stages where one can trip up in relying on the wrong thing, and what the proper Bitachon mindset should be: Firstly, what happens at the onset of the challenge? When a person, lo alenu, has any type of challenge, whether, heaven fo...

(The commentary of the Rishonim/the early rabbis, is often more succinct than that of the Achronim/ later Rabbis , but there are many pearls within nonetheless.) The Rambam had a son known as Rav Avraham Ben Rambam. He wrote a sefer called Hamaspik L'Ovdeh Hashem /What's Enough to be a Servant of Hashem , in which he has a section on Bitachon. He asks, What is true Bitachon? True Bitachon is when you rely on Hashem in all areas and don't focus on any intermediary. He...

Embrace ShabbatThe Cleansing Power of Shabbat PreparationsThe Cleansing Power of Shabbat Preparations The Midrash ( Bereshit Rabbah 56:3) observes that in the Torah'saccount of עקידת יצחק – the story of Avraham Avinu placing his son, Yitzchak, on thealtar and preparing to slaughter him in compliance with Hashem's command – theTorah refers to Avraham's knife with the term מאכולת . A knife is occasionally called מאכולת , a term thatstems from the root א.כ.ל. ("eat"), because it is used to slaughter animals so their meetmay be consumed. In the specific contextof עקידת יצחק , however, the Midrash comments that this term alludes to thefact that the Jewish People, the descendants of Avraham Avinu, continue"eating" and benefiting from the merit of this great act of self-sacrifice ands...
2024-03-2900 minEmbrace ShabbatThe Great Blessing and Merit of ShabbatWhenever we involve ourselves in some project or undertaking, it’s a good idea to properly appreciate the value of what we’re doing, in order to sustain our zeal and motivation to accomplish and achieve at the highest standard. This is true of Shabbat, as well. The more we understand and appreciate the immense value of Shabbat, the more driven we will be to enhance our Shabbat observance and bring it to a higher level. This is especially so as we prepare for the final Shabbat of the year. Performing any mitzvah is a great privilege. While we perform mitz...
2024-02-0900 minEmbrace ShabbatShabbat Succot- Hashem's TableWelcome to Embrace Shabbat. There is a special connection between Shabbat and Sukkot. The Midrash teaches that because Avraham Avinu enabled his guests to sit under the shade of a tree and be shielded from the sun’s heat, we merited the mitzvah of sukkah , sitting under the shadow of the schach. Avraham Avinu had an eshel , a tree, where he gave his guests food and drinks. When his guests thanked him after the meal, he told them, “Don’t thank me, thank the One that you ate from- the Creator.” Avraham Avinu understood the concept that we are at G-d’s ta...
2023-09-2900 minEmbrace ShabbatThe Air of ShabbatWelcome to Embrace Shabbat. In his sefer Tefillah l’Moshe (page 191), Rav Moshe Kordevero, famously known as the Ramak, teaches that the air of weekdays is tamei , contaminated, while the air of Shabbat is tahor , pure. He draws a parallel to the difference between the air in Eretz Yisrael and the air of outside of Eretz Yisrael, as it says אוירא דארעא ישראל מחכים , the air of Eretz Yisrael brings wisdom . Negative forces exist in the air outside of Eretz Yisrael, just as they do during the mundane weekdays. However, on Shabbat, the air becomes holy. It is for this reason that we mention Yerushalayim in our Sh...

Ahavat YisraelGiving Charity on ChanukahMoshe Rabbenu, in Shemot 33,16 says וְנִפְלִ֙ינוּ֙ אֲנִ֣י וְעַמְּךָ֔ We ( the Jewish people) should be separated from the rest of the world. And right after that, God introduces the 13 Attributes of Mercy, which is a special covenant called the Covenant of the 13 Attributes that is made specifically for the Jewish people. This is what bothered the Greeks. They were bothered by anything that made the Jewish people stand out, apart from the rest of the world. These 13 attributes are what separate us. The way we describe our keeping the 13 attributes of mercy is to ‘ Go in the ways of God .’ Just like He is Rachum , we have to be be Rachum...

We're discussing the trait of God, that He has tremendous tolerance because He’s constantly being disgraced. In his Sefer Shaar Hayirah, on the topic of fear (10th chapter), the Reshit Hochma, (a student of Rav Moshe Cordevero, author of the Tomar Devorah), says that a pious man once said, Don't rebel against your master when he is watching you . The only problem is, God is always watching us- so never rebel. And he s...
