3️⃣9️⃣ Emunah and Bitachon 💡Why Hashem Conceals His Presence #Torah #shorts

6 months ago

When struggling in tests and feeling disconnected from HaShem, many question why HaShem does not reveal Himself more clearly to the world. Wouldn't this help more people to believe in Him? Where's the reward and punishment promised in the Torah? However, they forget that this world is a place of testing, and we only deserve a reward when we choose the right path of our own free will. When seeing the immediate consequences of our actions, we no longer have the same free will. Join BeEzrat HaShem. Learn with Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner. Study kosher Jewish ideologies and halachos.

In this thought-provoking discussion, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner delves into profound concepts of faith and reliance on Hashem, drawing wisdom from revered sources like Beis Halevi ZT"L and Meshes Chochma. The journey begins by revisiting the idea that free choice, a cornerstone of our spiritual growth, flourishes precisely when Hashem's presence is hidden. When miracles are open and clear, the space for doubt diminishes, and with it, the opportunity for true reliance on the Divine. We are transported to the wilderness, where Bnei Yisrael were sustained by the miraculous manna, provided daily. Moshe Rabbeinu, acting on Hashem's command, explicitly forbade keeping any manna overnight, a directive meant to cultivate absolute trust. Yet, as often happens, two individuals, Dasan and Aviram, chose to disregard this command. Their disobedience, a seemingly minor act, led to a public demonstration of Divine disapproval: the leftover manna became infested with worms. This dramatic event, recounted in Shemos, raises two critical questions: Why was it forbidden to keep the manna overnight? And why was Moshe Rabbeinu so deeply distressed by Dasan and Aviram's actions? The Meshes Chochma offers a captivating explanation. Hashem's command was a test of Bitachon, a profound exercise in trusting that new manna would appear each morning. People were meant to go to sleep with nothing, relying solely on Hashem's promise. Dasan and Aviram's actions not only revealed their own lack of Bitachon but also inadvertently ruined this spiritual test for the entire nation. Once everyone witnessed the manna spoiling, the element of free choice was diminished; leaving food over was no longer an option, but an obvious folly. This removed the opportunity for Bnei Yisrael to earn the immense merit of true reliance. Join Rabbi Lerner as he continues to unravel these layers of meaning, exploring how these ancient narratives resonate deeply with our lives today. Discover the profound implications of Bitachon and gain valuable insights into how our choices impact not only ourselves but also the collective spiritual journey.
