Bitachon in the Face of Crisis
“I know Bitachon is the greatest remedy for the current crisis but how can I, who’s not the most connected to Hashem to say the least, suddenly pretend to be when faced with danger?”
Eliezer’s Next Level Bitachon
When Eliezer embarked on his journey to Charan, tasked with finding a suitable wife from Avraham’s family for Yitzchak, Hashem immediately performed a miraculous act, folding the earth beneath him and transporting him instantly to Charan. Eliezer, in turn, asked Hashem for guidance in identifying the destined girl for Yitzchak.
Hashem Will Rejoice In Our Salvation
“Look! Answer me! Hashem, my G-d. Enlighten my eyes lest I sleep in death, lest my enemies say, ‘We triumphed over him’, my tormentors will rejoice that I have fallen. And I have placed my trust in Your kindness, my heart rejoices in Your salvation. I will sing to Hashem when He has saved me. (Tehillim 13:4-6)
Praising Leads to Loving
Most of our davening each morning consists of praises to Hashem that Chazal instituted we say prior to Shemoneh Esrei. Additionally, Chazal forbid any interruption between these praises and the actual Shemoneh Esrei. What is the reason behind these Halachos?

All who recite Parshas Haman every day are guaranteed that their livelihood will not decrease. (Yerushalmi Brachos)
The Greatest Lesson of Shemitah
In Parshas Behar(25:4,5) we learn of the Mitzvah ofShemitah: “But in the seventh year the land shall have a Sabbath of complete rest, a Sabbath of Hashem: you shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. You shall not reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untrimmed vines; it shall be a year of complete rest for the land.”

The Proper Hishtadlus Focus
Bitachon should be the simplest Mitzvah, involving merely living our lives based on the Emunah we already possess – the understanding that everything in this world is predetermined by Hashem, our loving Father. However, why does it seem so challenging? The difficulty arises because a person’s mindset is primarily influenced by their actions, and the actions we perform throughout our day subconsciously contradict our faith.
