Ep 20: WHY ARE THERE FEW OBVIOUS MIRACLES IN RECENT GENERATIONS?

[Music] welcome to the B alvy episode 20 the bet now tells a very important Rule and that is our level of is depends on the amount of bet we have the more a person believes in Hashem the less they need to do the less they believe in Hashem they more they need to do and therefore there's no exact amount of that I can tell you to do or not to do it depends on society in the days of old most ladies gave birth in the home there was no such thing as going to the hospital that was considered normal to get yourself a good Midwife Ryman said that today if a lady decides to give birth at home that is not proper it's not accepted we have to go with society's norms and cover up the miracle and do what you feel is enough and you're confident in those Norms but but again it's up to you and he quotes a midash that says on the I will be that I will be like you act with me I act with you and it the ramban quotes a similar mid on the God is like a shadow on your right side if you give a shadow one finger it gives you back one finger you give a shadow two fingers it gives you back two fingers God is like our shadow the more that we give forth bet the more God gives back to us it's reciprocal we find this concept by shimita the pasuk says that I promise you in the sixth year you're going to have a uh you're going to have food and you're going to be eat a little bit and and it's going to be blessed in your stomach you eat a little bit it's going to be blessed in your stomach and then it says if you say what are we going to eat and God says I'm going to command my blessing and you're going to have a bumper crop enough for the six in the seventh and the eighth year so the question is and if a person doesn't ask what I'm going to eat then he's not going to have a bumper crop the SEO says let's read the P carefully the man that believes in Hashem what happens he gets the same crop as he always did but because he believes in God doesn't ask questions God makes a miracle and normally he ate one bowl of cereal and was full now all he needs is a half a bow of cereal they'll be a blessing and he'll have to do less work cuz one year's work will help him for two years and take a year off the man that says what am I going to eat so God makes a bumper crop with double the amount of food and double the amount of work cuz he didn't believe in the miracle so God had to bring it about in a more natural way and therefore says the Elder naric it's a self-fulfilling prophecy the guy that says I need to work from 88: in the morning till 7 at night you're right you will need to work from 8: in the morning till 7 at night you'll say hey if I didn't do all that work I wouldn't make any money you're right you wouldn't make any money you decided the amount of his the amount of effort that you need to do depends on how much you believe you need to do so no one can ever prove you're wrong because if you don't believe you do need to work that much and if you do believe then you don't can never be proved in a laboratory have a wonderful day
