The Daily CHIZUK!! Every Step in Hashem’s Hands Shlomo HaMelech said that a person's legs are like guarantors, ensuring he is brought to the places Hashem wants him to be. When a person reflects on the days of his life, he begins to see countless stories of Hashem's hashgachah unfolding in his path. He can recognize how Hashem directed his steps—bringing him to certain places and keeping him away from others. He notices how precise and exacting Hashem's guidance is, how, in mere seconds, the cou

The Daily CHIZUK!! 🤠 👉 Parashat Beha’alotcha: The Only Real Way In this week's parasha Beha'alotecha, the Jewish People complained that they wanted meat and Moshe Rabbenu said to Hashem, כי תאמר אלי שאהו בחיקך כאשר ישא האומן את היונק – Moshe was asking Hashem how he was expected to carry the nation like a nursing mother carries her suckling infant. The Maharam Shapira asked, the word אומן usually means a Torah teacher of boys aged five or six. Why would Moshe use that word to describe someone

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😬 Every person has a unique place from which he is meant to serve Hashem and connect to Him. Hashem already determined where a person would be born, into which family he would be born, how he would look, how intelligent he would be, how strong he would be, and every other detail of his life. Everything was arranged specifically for him to fulfill his mission. A prophet can only receive prophecy when he is in a state of joy. The very fact that Eldad and Medad received prophecy

The Daily CHIZUK!! No Excuses Everyone comes into this world with a unique set of circumstances. Some people are blessed to grow up in homes filled with love, encouragement, and great role models. Others, however, face challenges right from the beginning. They grow up in difficult environments, experience hardships, and lack the opportunities that other people had. It's so easy for a person to look at his background and feel that he was placed at a disadvantage. He may think, "If only I had grow

The Daily CHIZUK! 😎💯 True Wealth 💵 If someone has an addiction, it can completely overtake his life. It becomes the only thing that matters. He loses control and may even be willing to sacrifice his family, his career, and everything else that is truly important. The reason is because addiction blinds a person to the damage it is causing. The only way to help him is to wake him up and make him see the destruction taking place before his eyes. Sometimes, people become so consumed with earning

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😬 🙌 Hashem Has the Solution When a person needs something and cannot figure out any way to obtain it, that simply means that from a hishtadlut standpoint, his primary responsibility is to ask Hashem for help. We are only required to make a physical effort when there is a reasonable effort to make. If there is none, then we are exempt from that obligation and can place our full reliance on Hashem. Just because we do not see a solution does not mean one does not exist. It only

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😃🍷 🕍 Parashat Shelach: Even Better In this week's parasha, Shelach, the Jewish People were tested in emunah and bitachon and they failed. Kalev tried to give them chizuk, saying, "Hashem wants us to go in, we have nothing to fear." But it didn't help. The pasuk says סלחתי כדבריך ואולם חי אני – Hashem forgave them but they were not going to be allowed into Eretz Yisrael. Most mefarshim explain סלחתי כדבריך to mean Hashem forgave them for the עגל, but not for the meraglim. An

The Daily CHIZUK! 😎 One of the greatest challenges in tefillah is continuing to believe that Hashem cherishes our prayers even when what we are asking for seems delayed in coming. Many people think that if they have been praying with sincerity and strengthening their emunah, yet still have not received what they are asking for, then their tefillot must not be accomplishing anything. Hashem hears every word and counts every tear. It is up to us to continue praying with the same sincerity and emo

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😬 🙌 Appreciating the Blessings One of the challenges of human nature is that we become accustomed to the blessings that Hashem gives us. Things that once would have filled us with excitement eventually become part of everyday life, and we begin to expect them rather than appreciate them. Very often, we do not recognize the true value of something until it is no longer available. A person may take his health for granted until, lo alenu, he becomes ill. Suddenly, all the thing

The Daily CHIZUK!! 🙂☝🏼 One of the greatest gifts Hashem has given us is the ability to speak to Him. A person can turn to Hashem at any moment, from any place, and ask for His help. Sometimes we pray for ourselves, and sometimes we pray for others. When we pray for others, we may never get to see what our tefillot have accomplished. We say a few words, shed a few tears, and then move on with our lives. But we must know how valuable every tefillah is. Sometimes Hashem allows us to see just how

The Daily CHIZUK!! 👑 😃🙌🏼 The Opportunity Hidden in the Pain One of the biggest challenges in life is seeing someone else receive the very blessing that we have been praying for for so many years. Naturally, it hurts. A person wonders why Hashem is giving others what he so desperately wants while he still has to wait. Sometimes our greatest accomplishments are the ones that nobody sees. The battle takes place entirely within the heart. When a person is hurting and still chooses to act with ki

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😃 Parashat Korah: The Same Boss In this week's parasha, Korach staged a rebellion against Moshe and Aharon, telling them that they took all the good positions in Klal Yisrael for themselves. Chazal tell us, Korach's actions were motivated by jealousy. He saw others around him being promoted to different positions and he didn't get any of them for himself. He convinced himself, and others, that his motives were purely l'shem Shamayim, but deep down it was all about his own hon

The Daily CHIZUK‼️ 👑🌍 📖 👉 Hashem's Endless Ways to Help 💯 One of the fundamental principles of emunah is recognizing that when Hashem wants to help someone, He has endless ways of doing so. We naturally look for salvation through the avenues that we can see, but Hashem is never limited to those avenues. He can provide exactly what we need in ways we could never anticipate. Our job is to make a normal hishtadlut and trust in Him. Very often, when something appears to be delayed, blocked, o

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😃 One of the harder challenges in life is dealing with delays and setbacks when we are convinced that something has to happen right now. How often do we experience disappointments that seem completely unnecessary? How often do plans fall apart, appointments get canceled, opportunities disappear, and doors close just when we think they should be opening? We are only seeing a tiny fraction of the picture. What appears to us as a frustrating delay may actually be protecting some

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😎🔆 👉 We naturally become frustrated when we encounter delays or when our schedules suddenly change. But someone with emunah knows that what may appear to be an inconvenience is actually the loving hand of Hashem guiding him exactly where he needs to be. We are always exactly where Hashem wants us to be. When we internalize that truth, we can remain calm and even happy when plans change or delays occur, knowing that every step we take and every place we find ourselves has be

The Daily CHIZUK!! The Salvation Begins Before the Problem Andrew and Jenna Genger in gratitude for Hashem’s many blessings, with prayers for continued health, protection, and besoros tovos. There are times when a person is in desperate need of a yeshuah, but there does not seem to be any way for him to be helped. He begins to panic. Time is of the essence, yet there is no help in sight. He wants to pray, but he can't imagine how he could still possibly be saved. One of the ways that Hashem deal

The Daily CHIZUK!! 🍷 🔥 💵 🤨 People sometimes see others giving millions to tzedakah and wonder why they don't have the same zechut to give such large amounts. Others see children with exceptional middot and ask themselves, "Why do they have such great children, while ours are so difficult?" Some struggle to grasp even the basics of Torah learning, while others seem to understand the most complex sugyot effortlessly. It's natural to wonder why Hashem didn't give everyone equal opportunity, esp

🎶 😃 Shabbat Shalom!! 🇮🇱 🙌

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😬 Hashem’s Kindness Through His People One of the most beautiful ways that Hashem shows His love for His children is through the hearts of other Jews. Although Hashem alone performs every yeshuah, many times He chooses to do it through people who open their hearts and willingly become His messengers. Every act of chesed is much more than one person helping another. It is Hashem's kindness flowing through the hands of one of His children. He gave one Jew the opportunity to ope

The Daily CHIZUK!! 🌐 👑 😎 👉 Hashem treasures not only the good deeds that we do, but also the good that we genuinely want to do. Even if circumstances prevent a person from carrying out the acts of kindness he wishes to perform, Hashem never forgets a sincere good intention. Sometimes, in His infinite kindness, He arranges for those good intentions to be fulfilled years later—even after a person has already left this world. How precious are our good intentions to Hashem. Every sincere desire

The Daily CHIZUK!! No amount of praise could ever repay Hashem for the priceless gifts He gives us every second of every day. When we walk into shul, we are not coming before Someone Who gave us one hundred dollars or even one hundred million dollars. We are standing before the One Who gave us life itself—our eyesight, our hearing, our ability to think, speak, breathe, walk, love our families, learn Torah, perform mitzvot, and serve Him. Every heartbeat and every breath is another priceless gift

The Daily CHIZUK!! 💵 😃🙌🏼 The Gemara in Masechet Chulin, daf 63a, teaches us a very important lesson about parnassah. There it discusses one of the non-kosher birds mentioned in the Torah called the shalach. The Gemara says it is called shalach because it has to draw its food from the depths of the sea. Every meal requires tremendous effort. By contrast, there is the tiny ant, whose food seems to be readily available wherever it goes. The Gemara says that whenever Rabbi Yochanan saw the shala

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😎💯 👉 Those who truly know that Hashem runs the world live their lives on a more elevated level. They don't get upset from things that people usually get upset about, they don't worry about things that people usually worry about and they don't get stressed from things that people usually get stressed out about. Rather, they have a feeling of security and peace of mind, knowing that everything happens exactly the way it is supposed to happen. Everything happens in this world

The Daily CHIZUK! When it comes to physicality, Hashem helps us every step of the way from beginning to end. At times, He will even give a person a drive to make a hishtadlut to, let's say, earn money or accomplish something else in the physical realms that He wants him to accomplish. But, when it comes to spirituality, that is where we must develop the will to achieve on our own and we must attempt to make the efforts to accomplish on our own. Only after that will Hashem give us His help in bri

The Daily CHIZUK! With Perfect Faith On our quest to acquire perfect emunah and think correctly, we want to purify our minds with the right hashkafa according to the Torah. The pasuk in parashat Ekev warns, if a person becomes well-to-do, he will forget about Hashem, saying, it is my might and strength that made me this wealth. The Saba from Kelm points out, the Torah does not say, maybe he will say this, because the nature of a person is to automatically think that way. It is only with proper t

The Daily CHIZUK!! We may no longer receive mann, but every bit of sustenance we receive comes from Hashem. We may think we're earning our own living, building our own homes, and solving our own problems, but behind every success stands the same Hashem Who sustained His nation in the desert for forty years. No matter where we are, and no matter how impossible things appear to be, Hashem is always with us, just as He always has been, and He can help us through every situation.

The Daily CHIZUK!! Unlimited Ways to Help One of the benefits of hearing stories of Hashem's salvations is that they expand our understanding of what is possible. Sometimes we hear about a yeshuah that seems almost unbelievable. We wonder if such things could really happen. The answer is, of course they can, and that is exactly why we need to hear them. The more we recognize that Hashem's abilities are unlimited, the easier it becomes for us to put our trust in Him and pray with real hope. We st

The Daily CHIZUK #2980!!! 😬👏 👉 One of the inspiring aspects of Hashem's hashgachah is seeing how He can use anyone, at any time, to be the messenger who gives us exactly what we need. Very often, we imagine that our salvation has to come through a certain person or a certain circumstance. But we have to know that Hashem has endless messengers that He can use. He can place us in the most unexpected situations and have someone we never would have dreamed of become the one to give us exactly wha

The Daily CHIZUK!! 😬 💯 There is no one who doesn't need chizuk in emunah, from the greatest rabbis to the common layman, no exceptions. Gedolei HaDor of yesteryear have testified themselves that on days they did not work on their emunah, it was automatically weaker. We see things take place in this world which threaten to damage our emunah. Tzaddikim experiencing hardships and tragedies, the best girls having so many struggles in shidduchim, and the list goes on. There are so many things we do
