everyone goes through ups and downs in life there are moments of great sorrow losing money in a failed deal dropping cash on the street or God forbid the loss of a loved one these moments can feel overwhelming and heartbreaking often leading a person to retreat into themselves the question is how do we deal with such challenges there's a profound teaching from barah the wife of Rabbi Mir ba ales she taught us to view everything we have in life as a deposit everything we have in life as a deposit from God if we train ourselves to think this way that money our home our car even our children are merely entrusted to us for a time then even when something is lost we can respond differently instead of feeling anger we can thank God for the time we had with what was given to us there's a story about Rabbi Abraham zalmanovich who later became the head of the novardok yiva in his youth before the Holocaust
