So it had been made the decision that you simply have been planning to make $a hundred,000, then the industry dropped and you simply misplaced $10,000 so you wound up with $90,000. What is the real difference? The main difference is, as we now see, by doing this, you obtain the kapara . You can get the atonement for The cash which you shed. You truly in no way received it, but God, in His mercy causes it to be counts for Kapara . But, states the Chafetz Chaim, there is even a better level- Rav Yochanan Ben Zachai’s nephews gave The cash to Sedaka. So not simply can you end up which you have been alleged to make $100,000 dollars, however, you missing $ten,000. However, if you take that $ten,000, give it to charity, it counts to be a loss, but it isn't really a decline, since it turns into an incredible, huge zechut. That is how Hashem operates the entire world, in this manner of mercy. Just try to remember, when we say, פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His arms and satiates to Every person, what his wills are. Hashem, open up Your fingers and be sure to give me everything bounty,” don’t say, “ Hey, it's not Performing, it isn't coming in.” It is actually Operating , you might be receiving it, but they're having it clear of you, so as to give you a kapara before you get it. So You should not Assume Individuals prayers ended up wasted. It is really bringing you all sorts of atonements. That which you might have gotten, and ought to have gotten, was taken clear of you. The Pele Yoetz, in the topic of Daagah/worry, discusses this too. He utilized the mashal of the king that tells a debtor that It can be impossible for somebody to owe revenue to the king and not spend him. “ So I will slide some money through your doorway, and you may fork out me again with that. I'll even depart you some leftovers too. I am going to Supply you with a bit more than you need. ” That is what Hashem does. He offers us, and then He will make us reduce, and that is how He offers us the kapara . Which is how He pays us off. The Pele Yoetz cites a midrash that says, Hodu L’Hashem Ki Tov, Praise Hashem, for He is sweet What is the ki Tov/excellent ? That Hashem collects the debts in the absolute best way for a person. Your wine bottle breaks, your rooster dies, you stub your toe. God's mercy is ample in how He appears to be like for ways for us to pay again, in probably the most pain-free of the way. A different mashal is offered of the king Having said that whoever committed a specific would have a large boulder dropped on him, Which boulder would get rid of the person. But it really turned out that the king’s son committed the crime. And so the king took the boulder and broke it into compact minor pebbles and had the pebbles thrown at his son, one after the other. פּוֹתֵ֥חַ אֶת־יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַשְׂבִּ֖יעַ לְכׇל־חַ֣י רָצֽוֹן׃ God opens up His hands and satiates to Everyone, what his wills are. When it appears like you didn’t get That which you wanted, you did- but it had been taken faraway from you prior to deciding to received it, in a way that would trigger you to obtain a kapara . Have a wonderful working day.
Bitachon provides a way to stay grounded amidst the continuous interruptions and pressures of daily existence.
Accept Hashem's hand in just about every practical experience, each and every chance, and each problem. By becoming existing inside the minute, we boost our recognition of Hashem's constant existence and increase our bitachon.
The follow of daily bitachon will involve integrating this trust into daily life. It's not merely about comforting oneself all through hard instances but about fostering a state of mind that acknowledges God's presence in all components of life. Here are a few methods to cultivate daily bitachon: 1. Prayer and Reflection
Incorporating prayer into a single's daily schedule can considerably boost bitachon. Standard prayers, such as the Modeh Ani upon waking, Convey gratitude and rely on in God’s mercy.
In his sefer, the Ben Ish Chai ( Parashas Nasso ), delivers additional insights within the selection 15 and its relationship to shalom : · It is the volume of text in Birkas Kohanim, which culminates inside a blessing of shalom . · Furthermore, he points out, a hand has fourteen joints, a few on Every bitachon with the four fingers and two within the thumb. For the hand to symbolize shalom, it desires yet another element. Therefore, Chazal instructed us that whenever we produce a berachah on the cup of wine, we should always maintain the cup during the palm of your hand; In this particular situation, it is known as the Kos shel Berachah, the cup of blessing. The palm turns into the hand’s fifteenth component, Hence symbolizing shalom . · He connects this concept towards the Chazal ( Berachos 64a) “Talmidei chachamim marbim shalom, Torah scholars raise peace.” It is because the rabbis have amplified the situations for using a kos shel berachah. These involve Kiddush on Shabbos and Yom Tov, Havdalah , Birkas HaMazon , weddings, bris milah, as well as evening of Pesach. These are typically all situations through which we spot the kos within our palm, calling into company the fifteenth component of our hand, As a result symbolizing the Identify of Shalom . · Throughout the 6 weekdays, we wash for bread 2 times on a daily basis, twelve moments in all. On Shabbos, We've three meals, which provides the week’s full to fifteen. Shabbos is on a daily basis of peace because of the fifteenth food, Seudas Shelishis, which provides shalom . Moreover, the Ben Ish Chai teaches that Tu b’Shevat is easily the most opportune time for you to pray for Arba Minim, the 4 Species we bless in the course of Succos. As we uncovered within our dialogue on Succos, the 4 species symbolize unity Among the many 4 different types of Jewish folks. How come we pray with regards to these 4 species on Tu b’Shevat? The rabbis reveal that if we look at the trees on Tu B’Shvat, we see that they are bare. Tu b’Shevat marks the working day on which, according to the Gemara , the sap begins managing in the tree. Then, on Rosh Chodesh Nissan, we will start making Birkas Ilanos, the blessing we are saying on observing the tree’s buds start to blossom. The seasons development right up until finally, we arrive at Succos, after we harvest the fruit. So, the progression toward Succos starts on Tu b’Shevat, whenever we pray for the mandatory shalom on the Shivtei Kah, which lastly expresses itself to the Competition of Succos With all the Arba Minim. Shevat could be the month, and Tu b’Shevat the day, uniquely primed for our efforts to foster the middah of shalom and ahavas Yisrael.
Nevertheless, it is exclusively in these occasions that bitachon results in being most important, acting as an anchor within the twister.
The rabbinic literature more expands on this concept.

This dynamic comprehension encourages a relationship with God that may be the two personal and communal, urging individuals to depend on divine providence whilst also having responsible steps in their lives.
