Bitachon 245 - Having All Your Needs

We continue our discussion of the passuk in Yirmiyahu, perek 17, passuk 6, which speaka of the one who trusts in Hashem, and how the result is that all the person's needs are met - and this can come about with the cessation of need at all, as one realizes that one is made whole by being connected to Hashem.

Beshalach - Hearing Hashem's Voice

Why does Hashem respond to Moshe's tefillah with the statement, 'why are you calling out to me?' Why should Moshe not be davening at this time, as the Jewish people are about to experience the miracle of the Splitting of the Sea? What are the two times that Hashem answers our prayers - sometimes before we pray, and sometimes as we are speaking? What type of Tefillah is always answered? Why should we seek to 'serve Hashem properly' before we 'direct our heart in prayer?' When does Hashem answer or prayer before we even speak? Why does Hashem know the heart of the tzadik more intimately, as it were?

Bo - At Moshiach's Door

What is the idea behind the two sets of three days of darkness? What is the concept of the seventh day of darkness and why does it wait until the Jews are about to experience the splitting of the sea? What is the idea behind there being darkness for the Egyptians and light for the Jews? Why did they use this spiritual light to see where the Egyptians held their valuables, but did not take them? How does this scenario repeat itself at the sea, with the clouds of glory that separate between the Egyptians and the Jews, sending darkness toward the Egyptians, while providing light for the Jews? Why is this the center of the three unique pesukim in a row that contain exactly 72 letters? How does all this apply so clearly to our times as we face off with existential adveristy?

Va'era - Getting Godly Powers

What does Hashem mean when He tells Moshe to be an 'Elohim' (god) to Pharaoh? What is the idea behind Shlomo Hamelech (King Solomon) being unable to bring the box containing the Ark of the Covenant into the Beis Hamikdash (Temple) at its inauguration? Why did he bring out the casket of his father Dovid Hamelech, and why did the gates open for him? What is the idea of Hashem being referred to as the 'King of Honor?' Why does Hashem give honor to those who revere Him? What is the concept of revering Hashem, and how does this make onen into a Godly person? What is special about the meeting of Pharaoh - the man who thinks he is god - and Moshe - the one who is actually Godly?

Bitachon 242 - True Source of Power

We continue our discussion of the passuk in Yirmiyahu, perek 17, passuk 5 which speaks of the one who trusts in a human being - but does so without any understanding that Hashem is the true source of even that person's power. With the awareness that Hashem is the true Source of power, the trust one places in others is raised up.

Shemos - Accessing Personal Redemption

What is the concept of the unique name of Hashem - 'Ehkyeh asher Ehkyeh' which only appears in our parsha and nowhere else? What is this unique name as it relates to the concept of Redemption? Why does Hashem also enumerate His other names - Elokim, YKVK, Tzvakos, Kel Shakai? What do each of these names represent? How does Hashem establish His relationship with the Jewish people? What are we to keep in mind as we try to relate to the Creator of the Universe, is beyond the scope of our understanding? How do we access our own personal redemption?

Bitachon 241 - Sustenance From the Source

We begin a discussion of the pesukim in Yirmiya, perek 17, pesukim 5-10. These speak of the contrast between the one who trusts in a human being, and then experiences ruin, versus the one who trusts in the True Source of life, which is Hashem, and the resulting good that comes from a correct dependence.
