With Hashem's assistance, I just lately came upon a commentary on Tehilim written by Rav Chaim Kanievsky z’l. To grasp Tehilim, it's important to grasp the track record and historic context in the chapter that David Hamelech is composing about. Just what was going on in his in everyday life when he wrote it? Occasionally he tells us what precisely’s going on in the heading, irrespective of whether he’s managing away, remaining chased, and so on. But sometimes he doesn't. And from time to time, it looks as if he is telling us what is going on on, but we actually You should not get it. Rav Chaim Kanievsky, along with his tremendous understanding of Torah, finds a Midrash that can help us realize one particular such chapter. Chapter 30 is known as Mizmor Shir, Hanukat HaBayit L’David/a song for the commitment of your home, referring to the Wager Hamikdash, by David. There's two issues with this. Number 1 is that David Hamelech was not in the Hanukat HaBayit- he died prior to that. As we’ve mentioned prior to now, Rashi clarifies that he wrote it to become mentioned within the Hanukat Habayit. The next challenge is that there's no discussion in the Hanukat HaBayit In this particular Mizmor. It claims, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ ה׳ כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי God lifted me up… שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי I referred to as out to You and you simply healed me. You carry me within the depths, and the like. What does which have to accomplish Together with the Hanukat Habayit? More to the perek, it states, הֲיוֹדְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ Will Dust praise You and say more than Your truth of the matter? לְמַ֤עַן ׀ יְזַמֶּרְךָ֣ כָ֭בוֹד וְלֹ֣א יִדֹּ֑ם יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י לְעוֹלָ֥ם אוֹדֶֽךָּ To ensure my soul will sing to you personally eternally.. So, again, what's going on? Rav Chaim cites a Midrash that David Hamelech was Ill for 13 many years, as he states in another perek, יָגַ֤עְתִּי ׀ בְּֽאַנְחָתִ֗י אַשְׂחֶ֣ה בְכׇל־לַ֭יְלָה מִטָּתִ֑י בְּ֝דִמְעָתִ֗י עַרְשִׂ֥י אַמְסֶֽה Every night I'm crying in my bed . So he suffered for thirteen a long time, and during this time his enemies hoping he’d die. David Hamelech was naturally praying to get out of this situation. What got him outside of it? He eventually came up with the following prayer, “ Remember to preserve me to ensure that I am going to have the strength to approach the Bet Hamikdash,” and t hat's when he received from his mattress and wrote what’s known as the Megilat Binyan Guess Hamikdash/ the architectural options for that Wager a HaMikdash, and God listened to his prayer.
As opposed to emunah, bitachon will not Reside inside anyone in the uniform point out. Usually it’s wonderful sitting down while in the qualifications: You go about your enterprise the top you are able to, with excellent religion that “G‑d will bless you in no matter what you do,” and therefore it’s not your own private smarts or labor that could supply good results, but “G‑d’s blessing is exactly what would make a person loaded.”
We continue with Bitachon connected feelings from Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s commentary on Tehilim. In chapter 148, which we say everyday, David Hamelech is searching into the creations on the heavens as well as earth to praise Hashem. He begins off with הַ֥לְלוּ־יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽלְל֣וּ אֶת־יְ֭הֹוָה מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֑יִם הַֽ֝לְל֗וּהוּ בַּמְּרוֹמִֽים׃ Praise Hashem with the heavens, from substantial earlier mentioned many of the angels, each of the hosts, the Sunlight, the moon, all the celestial beings, The heavens significant earlier mentioned, the drinking water over the heavens… And what is their praise? יְֽ֭הַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם ה׳ כִּ֤י ה֖וּא צִוָּ֣ה וְנִבְרָֽאוּ׃ וַיַּעֲמִידֵ֣ם לָעַ֣ד לְעוֹלָ֑ם חׇק־נָ֝תַ֗ן וְלֹ֣א יַעֲבֽוֹר׃ That God commanded and established them, and He put them up there without end. He manufactured a set rule, that shall under no circumstances transform. That is what we comment when a month about the moon, that there is the cycle on the sun, the cycle in the moon. Every little thing which is inside the heavens is largely static . Then he goes on to praise Hashem within the earth. Let's praise Hashem from the deaths, the fire, the hail, the snow, the smoke, the winds, the mountains and the valleys, the trees, the animals, the crawling creatures, the birds, the kings, the ministers, youthful boys and younger ladies, outdated Adult men and lads. And then it says, יְהַלְל֤וּ ׀ אֶת־שֵׁ֬ם ה׳ כִּֽי־נִשְׂגָּ֣ב שְׁמ֣וֹ לְבַדּ֑וֹ ה֝וֹד֗וֹ עַל־אֶ֥רֶץ וְשָׁמָֽיִם His title is over by itself, His glory is over the heavens along with the earth. Rav Chaim details out that there’s a change in how we look at the heavens and earth. Concerning the heavens, it suggests, God commanded and made them, but regarding the earth, it claims His title is exalted permanently… Why the difference? He claims it’s because the generation in the heavens was a a single time development. The sun is produced after, the moon is developed once. Certainly, it suggests that God carries on to pump Power into generation, and that He makes (not produced ) the great luminaries, but in our eyes, They are static. They don't change. However, precisely what is down to the earth is continually renewed and refreshed. You'll find new horses, new bears, new bees…issues are constantly changing. Just about every of the goods from the heaven was produced with a particular objective in addition to a finite total, but within the earth points are consistently becoming recreated and rejuvenated, since This is when almost everything comes about.
It's not an Frame of mind determined by encounter, but one which produces experience. It claims, “Factors will likely be good mainly because I feel They're fantastic.”

Inside the Previous Testament, "bittachon" is utilized to explain the have confidence in which the devoted location in God, rather than reliance on human toughness or material prosperity.
The Jews had been multiplying at a wonderful fee, and also the Egyptians feared that they might shortly be outnumbered. Pharaoh experienced the solution: toss the Jewish boys into your Nile when they’re born.
We proceed with some Bitachon feelings from Rav Chaim Kanievsky’s commentary on Tehilim. In chapter 37, pasuk 21, David Hamelech claims, לֹוֶ֣ה רָ֭שָׁע וְלֹ֣א יְשַׁלֵּ֑ם The wicked human being borrows and won't pay out again . That doesn't mean that if anyone borrows funds and for some purpose are not able to pay it back, he’s wicked. Rav Yehezkiel Levenstein describes it means that the person, at enough time of borrowing the loan, experienced no approach to pay back it back again. This doesn't suggest that he borrowed using a system, and it didn't workout because of some sudden expense for example if a person obtained sick, or lost his task. This is referring to the person that borrowed The cash with no intend to repay it at the time of borrowing. It’s a Halacha that you can't borrow cash if you don't know how you're going to pay it back. Rav Kanievsky writes that someone as soon as questioned the Chazon Ish, “ Is it possible to borrow funds with no approach, relying on Bitachon- Counting on Hashem which i'll get The cash when I need it?” There are several stories like that with excellent rabbis, such as the Ponovezher Rav and Many others, who borrowed income without prepare and afterwards by some means, miraculously, anyone showed up and gave them revenue, just in time. So are you currently allowed to do that? The Chazon Ish gave an unbelievable answer. He states, “ Certainly, but only if you are willing to lend anyone dollars around the strategy of bitachon.” You can not use bitachon selectively, and say, “ I'll use bitachon to borrow funds, but I is not going to use bitachon to lend revenue.” It should be true. We’ve stated prior to that there is a strategy referred to as Bitachon Mezuyaf/copyright Bitachon , which happens to be phony bitachon. You happen to be making use of it like a Instrument. It isn't really true. You might be not likely depending on God. Often you are just lazy and use bitachon being a coverup. So how can we know when bitachon is true? The Chazon Ish has a complete piece on this. You'll find individuals that, needless to say sing the bitachon track when everything's going proper, but then quickly, an individual opens a retail store across the road from theirs, and all their bitachon goes out the window. It wasn't real. The Chazon Ish is stating you already know if it’s real when anyone knocks at your door and suggests, “ I do not actually Have got a strategy but you should lend me funds.” Are you currently now ready to invoke that Bitachon that that you are going to receive the a refund following this gentleman borrows The cash from you?
וַאדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה יַעֲזָר לִי עַל כֵּן לֹא נִכְלָמְתִּי עַל כֵּן שַׂמְתִּי פָנַי כַּחַלָּמִישׁ וָאֵדַע כִּי לֹא אֵבוֹשׁ
The kabbalot are meant to do individually. If you are working with this guide with a bunch give men and women a few minutes to select a kabbalah and shut the session with men and women sharing which kabbalah they are going to follow until eventually the following Assembly.
I'd a chance to see an example of this difference in the placing nearer to home. For a few years I used to be a highschool rebbe. Someday, I used to be Talking to a younger man about some things that have been taking place in his everyday living, when he exclaimed, “Hashem is out to have me!”
Then stated God to Moshe, Behold, I'll rain bread from heaven in your case; plus the men and women shall go out and Assemble a certain portion every single day, that I may possibly test them, bitachon whether they will follow my Torah, or no….
