You're listening to the 275th edition of the B'etakhen podcast. We are continuing in trying to understand the the shita, the opinion of the Chazon Ish. And Rav Dov Rosen finishes off here in B'etakhen Hashem and says in Cain a tick for shishim yatem like a fish or kashif. The bottom line is B'etakhen which we would all like to think is true. Which is that I can have B'etakhen that Hashem will give me an outcome that I wish. She kunda will ashondea alef B'etakhen Hashem which was referred to by the first opinion as a false type of B'etakhen. So, that's not true. It's not a false type of B'etakhen B'etakhen. O she am a drago and B'etakhen either it's the highest level of B'etakhen according to Rabbeinu Yonah O she am a drago shmekhayevis klashim adas or according to Rabbeinu Avraham and Rambam it's the level that all religious people are obligated in. O she am a drago yes in a mukhlif B'etakhen or according to Rabbeinu Avraham Rata it's a lower level of B'etakhen to expect that it be the way that I that I think it should be. Akh lekhola deas in a drago B'etakhen and here B'etakhen Hashem Hashem Hashem everyone agrees that it is a level of B'etakhen. Just a question of which level it is, but having B'etakhen that it's going to be good. Feeling a sense of security that it's it will be good. Everyone agrees that that is a level of B'etakhen. Obviously according to the Madregas Adam as we've spoken of many times, that's the highest level. She does this shiloh Chazon Ish zatzal. The opinion of the Chazon Ish will gain us the yakas heida and mikayris. Has many sources. And and clearly by the way he's saying that the Chazon Ish does not argue with this. B'miyukhad d'var matim l'dovid >> Specifically, his words line up well with the words of Rabbeinu Yona. His words in in section seven line up exactly with the words of Rabbeinu Yona. It's very similar to Rabbeinu Yona. Our cafe, page 105. The words that begin the paragraph that begins with the words that sometimes it will occur that one who serves Hashem, etc. Go check it out there. Even though the student of the of the Chazon Ish said that the Chazon Ish wrote what we call his sheetah, which is pretty short safer, he had written it just as notes for himself, and he didn't prepare it to be printed. He says, "I'm not a prophet, but I believe the Oracle now that based on what we said even if he would have prepared them to print, it wouldn't have changed anything." Should I mention the Chazon Ish because Chazon Ish's sheetah is very clearly defined and clearly um it's clear that it's he meant what he said and he said what he meant. I could actually do this with the Lubavitcher Rebbe. So now we saw the opinion of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. I don't think I can tie it. A person needs to trust Sheyibalei Ta'av, that it's going to be good. But the good is going to be according to Hashem's You know what Hashem knows and what Hashem Hashem's abilities as much as my team lay to that which is appropriate for you. I don't know what she does and it's all right. So that's the opinion. Right, but when we get to the Shema I'm in the crash in the Rahim. The person is standing in front of two paths. I don't understand what she is doing. One is good and one is not. You know what I'm talking about in life. Going to the lab according to the issue can't assume can't be talking that for sure it's going to be good. I don't know what she is talking about. Right, that's not for the regular people. So you got to just believe that there's no you know, there's no mistakes in the world. Everything that happens is from Hashem. I can come up with a lot of stuff. I don't know what she is talking about. Everything is announced from heaven whether for good or for not so good. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. I believe [snorts] in this. Uh absolute faith with absolute faith. I'm a figure of authority. It takes away his fear. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. And gives him the ability as we said last time to believe in the possibility of being saved. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. But there is an opinion which which uh disputes this and says I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. I don't know what she is talking about. The real talking is not believing that Hashem will do whatever he thinks is good. Even if it doesn't look good to me. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. There's an opinion that says that real talking is that I am confident that the good result that looks good to me is what Hashem is going to do. I don't know what she is talking about. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. I'm having bitachon that Hashem will do something that I will also be able to recognize that it's good, not just that behind the scenes in the spiritual realms Hashem knows it's good. Dovning as a highly comes as much as he had to have in his Hashem. And so this type of bitachon has to be even when it doesn't seem like there's a possibility, heaven forbid, of a good outcome. Sikui l'kabel as it says time we talk with the person still has bitachon. Not just that it could be good, that will be good. >> [clears throat] >> Even when it doesn't seem like it could be good. She Kodesh Baruch Hu Yeshiva V'Omer Mishum Rabbeinu Mukbo. Chas V'Shalom. Hashem will save me because Hashem is not limited. Hashem can perform miracles as it says in Shulchan Aruch Orech Chaim. Hashem can change nature. L'anius Daati. Up here we have Rabbeinu Yona Bachye ben Asher al pi Rabbeinu Yona al pi Rabbeinu Yona al pi Based on Rabbeinu Yona al pi Rabbeinu It's possible to and necessary to bring these two opinions together. K'siv Rabbeinu Yona. Rabbeinu Yona writes al derech mashal l'vair. As an analogy we can explain Kinyan Bitachon that the concept of bitachon K'she yakir b'techa l'melech V'omer l'chol kocho l'fanei v'simcha b'tuv levav v'ruach tovah l'melech v'daato. When a person who trusts in the king comes to a recognition. Now this person we're talking about who trusts in the king is somebody who's working with all of his strength in front of the king with joy and good-heartedness because he's so confident in the king. Ki yitein maskurto shleima and he's going to get paid fully. Kings can pay well. Yinevei Tevach Hashem Yisborach, so somebody who trusts in Hashem going to say that even if many different difficulties occur for him. So, that person will strengthen himself and trust for real. That is that his actual reward is going to be much greater with you all the time will choose something good. And if the person receives negative situations in this world, so that's for his best. To remove his sins. Now, I would add to remove his ego. To bring him close to God. And to make it and make him cleaner so that when he gets to the world of true reward, his reward will be even greater. As it says in Yeshayahu in Isaiah chapter 49:4, I said that I worked [snorts] for nothing. What does it mean? It sounds bad, right? As it said about the challenges that I worked for nothing, which means that the good deeds that I've done haven't been as powerful as the mistakes that I've made, the sins that I've done. I have more sins than merits. But that's not really true. But the truth is that the challenges that occur for me do not indicate that I have more sins than than merits. But rather the the challenges come to clean me off. And to give me to to create a situation where when I get my reward, it will be full. Ken y'an, like the possuk says there in Yeshayahu. Hashem has the person's reward. Hashem sees the work that I've done. Hashem sees the positive things that I've that I've done in this life. So, the person who trusts fully in Hashem knows that his reward is waiting for him. And there's a light which is planted for him. Right? Which is a reference to the possuk or tzaddik. He also hopes for and and he expects the fruits of his work in this world. Right? A person can expect, it seems. This is a line that we quoted earlier. And that is that the result, what comes out of a person's bitachon is >> [snorts] >> that they have hope that it's going to be good in this world. And even that hope is also called bitachon. Right? Believing that it's going to be good here. The way in a way that seems good to me. That's also called bitachon. We see what's share at tzu l'meiman. Because it's something that extends out of bitachon. That's the quote of Rabbeinu Yonah. Rabbeinu Yonah teaches us that a person should not hope that Hashem will will fulfill whatever he wishes. When there's nothing preceding that hope. Unless there is something preceding that hope, which is that there is reward for persons good deeds. And therefore, the person has been talking to see the fruits of his labors in this world. Something that he can see as good. Something that he perceives as good. Something that he knows is good. Something that it is clear to It's clear on the outside, you know, that it's really good. That this principle >> [sighs] >> It's very interesting the the way it's being phrased. The idea that having been talking that things will be good is that we're talking comes out of a previous It's like a a polyethelene. It's like a a result of I'll be talking that precedes it. I'll be talking that writes a similar type of statement because He says that a person has to be very careful to pay attention to and to stand up and withstand and make sure to fulfill all that Hashem requires of him. Serving Hashem lifting oneself up to do our sham's mitzvahs we show him our sham's hero and being careful not to do that which our sham exhorts us not to do. If you should write so the way that our sham wants. So then a person as a result of that which again it's important to just I want to place in your minds that the alter and the virus specifically says that bitachon is not dependent on one's actions but the sheet of the alter and the virus that depend if I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing then I can have bitachon that things are going to be good clearly good in this world. As hazal say in pirkei avos Make our sham's will your will. Then our sham make your will his will. If you want our sham to do what what is good for you what looks good for you you got to make sure you're doing our sham's will. Nullify your will in front of our sham's will that she will nullify our sham's will for you. In order that he will nullify the will of others in front of your will. >> [snorts] >> So we can say this as well in regards to the two opinions mentioned above. When there are two paths one is good one clearly looks good and one clearly looks not good. Look a person person is biased toward himself obviously a person wants a good result, a good outcome. Shashem writes, but not every time what I desire is what Hashem desires. We don't know Hashem's thoughts. Hashem has different thoughts. Hashem understands the whole picture, and we seldom do. Now, when a person nullifies his own will, makes his own will to be Hashem's will, be your day as the says, be honest Hashem in your name. And you know Hashem knows better than us what's good for us. And chooses something better than I would even choose for myself. And he places inside of himself the known truth. That in front of Hashem, nothing There's no such thing >> [clears throat] >> as a happenstance event that causes a person damage. Everything is from Hashem. Whether for good or not so good. Then he can and should trust that Hashem will make your will to do good, your will that it be good to be his will to do good. And he will nullify the will of others because of your will for good. You're looking for something good that everyone can see as good. Clearly, I could say we're talking about Hashem. >> What is the Hazon Ish? Once a person has be talking in Hashem the way that the Hazon Ish and the Hazon Ish are magdir the way that they define it, which is based on my own trying my best to do Hashem's will as we have to take that he can and he should trust in Hashem. Hashem will give him something good that we can all see as good. The way that like the words of the second opinion. Okay? So, it comes out bottom line the way that we're understanding this, the way that the Hazon Ish safer understands this that we can have be talking that it's going to be good. We should have be talking that it's going to be good in a way that looks good to us. But, that is dependent on our good deeds. So, I would say especially we're holding in Elul anyone can get into that space. We can all get into that space. All we need to do is do good deeds. We take a look at our at our record. Take a look at honestly take a look at the way we're serving Hashem. How does it look? Are we doing what we should be doing? If there's places where we feel we could be doing better let's be honest about it. Let's look at it. Let's take it. Let's take a reckoning. Let's take it into account. Once we do that I can on this moment because I'll say a person who's a rasha, a wicked person can do good deeds in a moment. He can become a he can become a tzaddik. All he needs to do is change directions. He's in a certain direction change to a different to a different direction. Head in a good direction. Once I do that according to the Hazon Ish, I can have be talking. According to the Hazon Ish, you can have be talking that it's going to be good. And uh next time as Hashem we will continue talking about the the topic that that's the next topic is my side of the stomach people talking. When should we be using the talking? Thank you so much for listening. We'll see you again next time.
