Bitachon 106 - Hope of the Hopeless
628 views
We explore the passuk in Tehillim ch 14 passuk 6-7 which speaks of the hope of the poor person, which sometimes can be misplaced as he hopes the rich man will help him. But the truth that remains to be revealed is that it is Hashem who ultimately helps him. And this is also true of the 'poor man' which is a reference to the people of Israel - how their hope ultimately needs to be placed in Hashem, from whom their salvation really comes.

you're listening to the 106th edition of
the be talking podcast
the plan of the poor person
it will be embarrassed and we'll see
what this means
because it's Hashem who is his
protection
just a quick understanding of this
project based on the fortune which we'll
see inside
an ani a poor person has lots of
different ways that he thinks
it is going to be saved it's going to be
taken care of the rich person is going
to provide for him Etc
but that plan that he has
will prove to be false because Hashem
will provide for him directly
it's not going to be necessary for him
to depend
on anybody
on any particular individual may not
come from that individual may come from
a different place
it may come in a surprising manner
that's the push-up shot on the pause
look and we'll see
that
the Jewish people are called the Ani
the nation of Cloudy cell Jewish people
throughout the throughout the last two
thousand years of golis for
the duration of our exile we didn't have
a country we didn't have a means of
support from within ourselves we didn't
have a king we didn't have a government
we didn't have
an army
so and and we thought that the salvation
would come from this place would come
from that place
But ultimately Sasha
a tamim
but
Rashi gives us
a slightly different understanding
that who's speaking what's the what's
the who's the
speaker in this project
so rash explains
that the enemies of the Jewish people
the enemies of King David the enemies
the the yet Sahara the negative voices
say that we the Jewish people who are
poor
we have no hope
that we trust in Hashem We Believe
Hashem is going to help us and
our enemies say that that's something
that's going to be found to be untrue
excuse me
untrue that we will not indeed get help
from Hashem that's what our enemies say
but the next question says
and we'll see this in a moment also
in the story with the briskarov
and that's the next question says Israel
who would give from Tian the salvation
of the people of Israel
when Hashem Returns the captives of his
nation which is talking about us right
here right now in the land of Israel
straw
Hashem will cause us to Rejoice the
people of yaakov of Jacob will rejoice
people of Israel
so I'd like to read to you the story it
says here we save our Arab me brisk
Movie Machine are gone
salvation
in the safer the about the robbing brisk
the brisker of
unemployment
degrees the Brisco Rob spoke the
particular person or it is
about a very difficult situation in the
land of Israel
that was in every single aspect
of the lives of the Jews at that time
100 years ago
the constant Danger
which
at that time it was much worse than it
is today but even today we have this
issue there's danger
that's
waiting to Ambush the people in Israel
Allah
after he finished his whole discussion
so he said what's going to be in the end
urance
as an answer
so the Brisco rub pointed to this possuk
until
when they say that we have nowhere to
turn that our faith in Hashem is is
doesn't have value
means
we'll give salvation he will bring
Salvation to people of Israel as we
return here right so even the brisker
have understood
that cloudy still has returned to Earth
Israel is the beginning of the Salvation
of the Jewish people
and he also pointed to the words of
Rashi which we just read
which is that they say that we have no
protection but we do
voice
he also the risker have also said like
this is
a time will come when the Jews will see
as the alligators and the olive
planner was that all of the ideas and
all the plans that we think
is
nothing
is
the only way is going to be
if we trust in Hashem it's through our
trust and ocean that we will be saved
that's what these people are teaching us
this is soon going to be true he said
so if you want to know
how we're going to to make it in this
world Iran Syria Lebanon Gaza
we have so many people who want to
destroy us from inside from outside
they're planning they're ready
Hashem will protect us
our faith in Hashem will not
be denied
will not be in vain
it says live in Ezra Ani
says who is the poor person is referring
to the Jewish people
say
what is
what is the Itza what is the advice that
we can take upon ourselves the people of
Israel
is to trust in Hashem
sesame
the word it says Ki Yasha Marseille
means when Hashem is his protection
is
so
when you see when you see that the
Jewish people is trusting in Hashem
so you will think you can think you can
look at this situation you can think
look it doesn't look good
it looks like look at the Six Day War
look what happened in 1967 looking in
48. it looked like we didn't have a
chance
it looks like the Jewish people are
going to be destroyed the country is
going to be destroyed it looks like
everything is lost
looks like they're trusting Hashem
is valueless
it happens as a Miri
between the first and second base they
knew that we needed to be saved after 70
years that's what the prophet said so
the navi said
when it seemed like the seven years
passed and the Salvation did not arrived
so they thought look our trust in Hashem
was empty it was valueless we trusted
Hashem is going to take us out the
promise of the navi said 70 years seven
years have passed
where's our where is our salvation
Israel
so let me read I don't believe that this
is a language of of a request
it's to show the awesomeness of it
glamorous
when after 70 years
after seven years they said where's the
Salvation going to come from how's it
going to be we trust in Hashem it looks
like it's not happening
do you understand anything
you can't imagine
how awesome hashem's ability is how
great he is how powerful he is
and and
how
close and near
the salvation of Hashem is
they don't realize
they don't understand who is Hashem
will give a Salvation
Israel
and then
the people of yaakov Will Rejoice we
will have an awesome simple we'll have
an awesome awesome radical enjoyment
radical
Joy radical joy and we see the
awesomeness of Hashem and how great is
the power of his salvation it seems like
it seems like it's not going to happen
says
again one more time the Bible says
that who's the only who's the poor
person that the public is talking about
is talking about the people of Israel
the Jewish people
foreign they didn't prepare perhaps you
can say a lot of times we didn't prepare
enough for the war
but in previous times we didn't have the
wherewithal at all to battle to fight a
war to get anywhere to accomplish to
fight our enemies
instead they depended
on the miracle that someone helped them
think about the times of the macabim The
Maccabees think about the time
during the times of the Greeks
they seem like a joke to our enemies
Israel
when the Salvation comes from Hashem
the one who dwells in in Zion in
Jerusalem
on heartsian
in the basement
is the place that he never left
so then there'll be an incredible joy
for us
because the name of Hashem will be
Sanctified in front of everyone in front
of all of the Nations
now we have two more shot him which
bring it a little bit more from a
national level to an individual level to
us a little bit more a little bit
bringing it home unfortunately
the poor person thinks to himself at
night I need a hundred dollars
excuse or bias
to pay my rent to buy bread to get food
foreign
to this very rich individual I'm going
to get the money I need
I'm going to ask him I'm going to beg
him but value the his youth in the
history
at least he'll give me twenty dollars
part of the money okay they can supply a
new plan I'll go around to different
Rich individuals
so he thinks he's gonna for sure get
everything that he needs
um
they said to him look I'm not giving you
anything don't worry I sure will take
care of you the rich man says
this is a different understanding of
what it means in the verse that
the the rich person says to the poor
person don't worry Hashem is going to
take care of you and they they kind of
puncture
the
dream of the honey that is going to be
taking care of by them
so what happens what's the result of
that
the result of that is
so the
individuals who are very rich they
depend upon themselves they don't depend
upon Hashem when it comes to their own
needs they just send the Ani the poor
person say don't worry Ashley won't take
care of you
meet him
so
as I understand what he's trying to say
this is an apparish of the elephant
so I know somebody's trying to say is
that
the
halavai
the plastic is telling us that
the thought of the Ani the poor person
the thought of the rich person should be
the same thought really
that Hashem is the one who's
helping me
the rich person should should think
ideally
it's Hashem is helping me and I need to
help others as well perhaps I can be I
can have an opportunity to be as close
America
to help this person but all he needs to
think the poor person needs to think is
Hashem is helping me the rich person
needs to think it's Hashem who's helping
me
and
perhaps I can help this person
and the final thing here magentaelis the
name of the safer
explaining along the same lines
this that a person
who
has the wherewithal but he doesn't give
the poor person that which he needs
ideally
explains that the plastic is telling us
is telling us that the poor person is
not going to die
of hunger because this person the wretch
the rich person didn't provide him with
his needs a
the only thing that's lost is the Itza
the the idea
that the poor person had at this that
this rich person is going to provide
he thought he's going to be provided for
by this rich person
so that idea is the only thing that's
lost
when the rich person doesn't give the
poor person his needs because
so in a certain sense the rich person
does the poor person a favor because the
poor person is depending on the rich
person
but really
the rich person is not the provider
don't think
don't ever think that it's going to be
that we don't have what we need
because Hashem is his protection Hashem
is the one upon whom he must rely
send his Messengers from other places
this is something which we see all the
time
Hashem helps the poor person and gives
him exactly what he needs
and I would say I would point out that
there's the possible which we just saw
the last two explanations and there's
the deeper part of the possum there's
the poor person and there's an Israel
who is the poor person and it seems like
we need to depend on America we need to
depend on Europe we need to depend on
others to help us we need to depend on
other nations to protect us to stand by
our side the way that they're doing the
Ukraine let them stand by our side and
protect us from our wretched enemies
the person teaches us that just as it is
with an honey with a true poor person
goes to a rich person thinks that that's
where it's going to come from
as many ways of protecting us so it has
many ways of providing for the honey for
the poor person
and just as the poor person will indeed
in the end find his protection not in
the way that he thought but ultimately
he will find the protection because it's
going to come from somewhere else but
it's going to be more clear
that it's Hashem who's doing it
and this is such an awesome an important
idea we need individually to know
we don't know where our Salvation comes
from we don't know where the money comes
from we're used to a certain way for
money coming but it can come from many
places
we don't know where the money is going
to come from we don't know where the the
help is going to come from the refua the
the
cure for whatever elements we have
but if we place our trust in the right
place
it's going to be good
that's the promise the voices which they
otherwise are going to be quieted
ultimately we're going to see the truth
we're going to see that's really Hashem
was providing for us
and sometimes we might get
uh uh push back from the people who we
were going to depend on we thought we
could depend on
it's not going to look good
but it's going to come from somewhere
else so someone's going to show us
that he's the one who's taking care of
us
thank you so much for listening we'll
see you again next time
