Day 215 | Pele Yoeitz - What Does it Mean to Trust in Hashem

0:00 Hey Chever, day 215. Today is Sunday. I hope you're doing well. We are continuing our Pelioids journey. We begin a brand new topic called Haftacha, trust in God. What does it mean to trust in God? You know, on coins, dollar bills, it can say in God we trust, but the way that most of society lives shows that they don't really trust in God. So we're gonna learn the Pelioids' eitzah to us. What does it mean? He's gonna tell us what does it mean to trust in Hashem? It might not be what you think. Here we go. Havtacha he me the brucha. Trust is a blessed trait. La gufsimcha, it brings joy to the body. Vila Nefesh Benucha, and it brings serenity to the soul. The inyan ha avtacha, the aspect of trust in God.

0:46 It's not shah that a person believes and trusts that, oh, Hashem is going to do everything that I want, everything that I need or that I think I need. That's the person's trust. Sometimes his expectations will not be met. How many righteous people do we find that are actually suffering? They're going through a difficulty, a tragedy, a tragedy, a on Isaion. So it's not shot that, oh, just because somebody has trust in a shem, that means nothing bad, nothing um difficult will happen follow up.

1:28 Right? Allah iqar havtacha. The primary that a person has is what? Shayyftah Bishem Hashem that a person trusts, the call the avday min shemai, litov vikame shemai gay tav leva of trust in Hashem means that a person understands that everything that God does is for not just the best, but my best. And that even though my eyes might not perceive it as such, it's revealed to him that goodness. We see with eyes that aren't so clear. We see something that's bad, which is good, or good, that which is which is bad.

2:10 It's fascinating. People see with eyes that aren't clear. It's fascinating. I don't know the exact studies, but it's definitely true that per uh, you know, like uh meaning per per the just regarding the society of of Yidin, especially Orthodox Yiddin wear glasses. There's um, you know, proportionately, I don't know, again, there's been studies on this, I don't I'm not quoting them exactly, you could look them up, but there's been these these studies showing that there's a very strong correlation between orthodox Jewry and and glasses. So some people associate it with because they learn for for a long amount of time and they learn um text.

2:54 So you know, you're looking closely at text, so that could, you know, make the eyes not as as good. Maybe, maybe that's part of it, but there's definitely a hashkacha behind it. And you know, it's the yidden are given this innate you by by wearing glasses. Again, if you don't wear glasses, that's that's fine, you know, but you know, say thank thank you, thank Hashem, that you don't need glasses. Whether you had glasses, you got LASIK surgery. Okay, bar Hashem, they have that they have these uh you know ways that we could fix. But just the fact that like we have this physiologically speaking, we don't see so clearly, and it and it shed lights. It actually can help us in our batachum because we don't have to see clearly, but we could trust in the one who does.

3:40 Anyways, just the thought, food for thought, something to think about. We we might see it, might not see it, that we don't see so clearly, but Hashem knows what's best for us. He knows what's good for us. So all of a person should willingly accept that which happens to him. A person should understand and realize that there's no bad that comes down from Shemaiim Rak Taive, only good. A person should throw and thrust on a cutter spargo his own burdens.

4:26 He shouldn't spend feudal time to try to make God's will like his own. You don't shouldn't press the moment and be too exacting and extreme and live with stress. There's no such thing as a mikre hasman, accidents of time. Everything that happens is not a mikra, it's not a it's not a it's not a happenstance. We just read last week. It's not vayakar, it's not happenstance, it's vayikra to calling. It's it's a direct connection, it's a it's a shem who's orchestrating and doing ta. Veloyetar daksh rabbas. I just read that.

5:10 Is from God Vikhalasha. Yahweh Talakim Yasa Taivas, everything he does is for our best. Nothing can hold with all the Kurdish brothers, nothing. He is a he's a shem. He's the all-knowing, the all-being, the all-powerful, and the all good bestowing. The huh naisin kayaklas is hard on your shirt. Hashem gives us the ability to be successful. He performs the will of those who fear him without them having to think or overly exert ourselves. We're gonna conclude um with well not with the section, we're gonna you know continue tomorrow, but at least for today, that concludes our daily regimen of Pelioids and Hashem.

5:54 Let's try and strive to trust in Hashem. All the best.
