The shiur in English
The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 311 words · 1:28. Press a time to hear it said.
0:00 Even when a person sees that it is sometimes hard for him, that Hashem is hiding His face, and he is going through some level or difficulty, and sees that the Holy One, blessed be He, is hiding His face from him, this too is for his good. He must accept it, as Rabbi Zalman said earlier, that it can cause a person difficulty, this too is something that causes a person difficulty, it is a kind of test. Nothing fits better than the words of the Yerushalmi, Berachos, chapter 9, halachah 1, for the Yerushalmi in Berachos says, says: "This fellow is found before me, troubling me, burdening us."
0:30 Look, a person passes through the street, going down some alley. He passes every day, and there is an old man there who sells vegetables, and every day he has to lift a watermelon from the floor and put it on the table. And you pass there every day after the morning prayers. The first day the old man says to you, come help me lift the watermelon, to put it here on the table, and on the first day you help him. The second day he comes to you again, you help him. On the third day you say, let's go in from over there, maybe, why is there an old man in the street every time, "this fellow is found," "before me troubling, before us burdening."
1:08 A person wants to forget a place where they trouble him and burden him. He does not want to go to a place that is a burden to him. But the Holy One, blessed be He, is not so. As long as you burden Him and weigh on Him and lean on Him, He clings to you more. Hope in Hashem, be strong and let your heart be firm, and hope in Hashem.
