Living With Emunah (Part 263) - What Will it Say on your Matzeiva?

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Living with Emunah - Rabbi Efrem Goldberg’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

It's not over yet. Purim is the day of bittul. We submit, we surrender, we nullify ourselves to Hashem. Ad d'lo yada, stop trying to hold on to think you can understand, you can control, you can comprehend the entire world. We have to surrender to him. We have to recognize it's his world and we take our initiative, we do our part. Take pride in our success. But in the end of the day, ultimately, ad d'lo yada, ultimately, we surrender to him. And that's what Megillas filled with. When when uh Mordechai says to Esther, "Mi yodea im leisch k'azot higat l'malchut, mi yodea?" Who knows? Mi yodea, it's all about letting go of the daas. So, some demonstrated it yesterday in public in practice and are paying the price this morning. But whether you uh literally or figuratively participated in surrendering daas, that we don't understand, sometimes you have to let go. It's painful, it's difficult, it's hard to reconcile or to understand Hashem's world. You know, it's easy when you miss the flight or you're stuck at the red light and you went to the Amona Shiur, so you let go. Okay, that's easy. But when there are irreversible, devastatingly catastrophic, painful things that happen in a person's life, to surrender daas in those moments is very, very hard. Very hard. So, Purim, Shushan Purim, Purim, the energy of Purim is still in this world in the walled cities, Yerushalayim and others, and uh we're continuing to draw from that energy in our practice of letting go of that daas. I want to share with you another I love the Amona stories, keep them coming. Please email, please
