Drawing from the holy words of the Gemara in Masechet Beitzah, we encounter two distinct paths in preparing for the sanctity of Shabbos. Shammai would spend his entire week searching for the finest delicacies, constantly upgrading his selection to ensure the honor of the seventh day. His life was a continuous cycle of preparation, always keeping the holiness of the upcoming day at the forefront of his mind. However, Hillel HaZaken followed a path that seems almost impossible to the average person. He would eat and enjoy what he had during the week, maintaining a serene and unwavering trust that Hashem would provide the most honorable portions specifically on Friday. Rabbi Lerner introduces the commentary of the Ben Ish Chai in Ben Yehoyada to explain the psychological depth of this behavior. Most people suffer from a fear of embarrassment, worrying that if they publicly declare their trust in Divine Providence and things do not go as planned, it might lead to a Chillul Hashem. Hillel lived on a level of Bitachon known as Vaday, a state of absolute certainty without a shadow of a doubt. He was so confident in the kindness of the Creator that the concept of disappointment did not exist in his world. How does a person reach such a lofty stage of spiritual security? Is it possible for us to cultivate this level of reliance on Hashem in our own lives, or is it reserved only for the giants of the Talmud? Watch this video to discover how we can begin our own journey toward a life of true peace and unwavering faith.
