Bitachon 64 - Redemption and Prayer

you're listening to the 64th edition of the beta00 podcast we continue in the rabino jesus says [Music] that a person should have their faith put their vitacon in hashem this i made known to you today even you so cryptic words a little bit of shalom king solomon says he was constantly telling giving us guidance and what it means to have your hashem fear of hashem says there have been that my intent with all of these things like him will be talking in regards to what it comes to we spoke about this also previously not as clearly as he's about to say now but to the extent that we have hashem do you have fear of heaven that we have respect for the word of hashem and we're trying our best to perform his mitzvas and perform his word so one of the results of that one of the results of shamayim a fear of heaven is to reach the concept of bitarch when it comes to the good the good medicine when a person works on their medicine a person develops their character so the result is going to be that they're going to get to a place of hashem fear of heaven because right and we're not used to thinking about things this way because when we think about fear of heaven and when we're afraid and shaking we don't think of it as something that gets us to you know if a person is working on their middles their character trait they're going to get the earth jeremiah you know i'm working on my medias i'm working on my character that gets me to your sherman but he says that that's exactly what gets us there like our sages say kitahara okay hate these are attributes right which are in the statement i'm not mistaken which is quoted by the association that purity and holiness which are certain attributes that we work on though outlines them so this brings us to your escape the result of positive attributes of working on our character is that we get to the place of your shamayim of fear of heaven says that the result of working on our character is seeking taharah purity seeking kedusha holiness seeking to purify our actions seeking to make ourselves more and more in sync in consonance with the will of hashem that brings us to your shaman that brings us to be talking very interesting which as we said previously and he says it again here is one of the highest levels in fear of hashem fear of sin this is a very lofty and awesome idea and i can't ex you know speak extensively exactly what is the idea of atta plus it says that king solomon is saying to us that we should do it as well right i'm telling you about this thing that you should do it as well what is the idea so he's saying an amazing thing king solomon is saying that this is something which i saw from my experience and if you want right king solomon wrote michelle he wrote koheles he had so many experiences spiritual experiences he knew it works and he's telling us if you want to know what works this is the way he'll be just like i helped my soul i gave myself more power so to speak through working on my character and through being honest and and clear with what i'm doing again and i reached pitakam which is the highest level as the rabbanian is saying saying that i hope that this will help you as well it sounds to me like a prayer from rabbi as well that that we should be able to to have this advantage this power of getting to be talking through working on honesty in our relationship with hashem working on our meet this working on working on uh doing the misses properly with exactitude so that's the end of that piece and that's the end of the quotes from michelle but he has two more little quotes one is from aposic and foreign and one is from the rabbinayanna in in the gemara in brachas here's what he says he tells us that when we go out to war with our enemies so you'll see that they have very powerful armaments in those times it was it was horses and chariots in our times it's tanks and and intercontinental ballistic missiles but says the positive don't be afraid of them don't be afraid if a person sees that the there's it seems like there's a very close nearby problem that's on the way you should put into his heart you should feel inside of his heart and think about the salvation of hashem i already see it hashem has already brought the salvation i envision it i feel it and the person should trust that that's true says in psalms in chapter 85 verse 10 god is close to those who fear him or better the those who fear hashem their salvation is close that's the correct translation and the puzzling says in isaiah chapter 51 verse 12 who are you that you're afraid from a human being who's going to die it's not necessary to be afraid of any human being only to be afraid of hashem and to be afraid that i'm not doing hashem's will to the best of my ability that's the only thing we need to be afraid of okay last section here yes he says as follows we can ask the following question that a person who places gaula next to twila speaking about the redemption of the jewish people and then going right into prayer so that's an incredibly powerful spiritual thing so and what does the person get the result is that he gets he gets a portion of the world to come so the rabbinion asks there just because i put gula next to twila therefore i get such a great reward i'm going to for sure have a place in the world to come so what's the shot so here's the shot he says the reason is because when we mention the redemption from egypt the exodus and then we go straight into prayer so it immediately shows he shows what what do i get out of the exodus what do i get out of the story of claudius leaving mitsuram what does that teach me it teaches me that hashem is there to save me hashem is there to help me he did it in the past it's 3 300 years ago i'm still remembering it yes because the fact that he did it then and if i think about it all of the many times when he's done it in in my own life the fact that he did it then the fact that he's done it for me so many times is the reason why i began praying to him right so what am i doing i'm showing by going straight from giulia into the field i'm showing that i believe that hashem is helping me and i trust him completely and therefore now i'm going to pray to him and ask him for my knees if you don't trust in hashem you're not going to ask anything of him right the fact that we are asking for all the things that we need whether it's whether it's for parnasso whether it's the salvation of the jewish people return to eretz israel you shall clearly from the fact that we're asking we're saying that we believe that he's the one who's going to do it and so how is that bittachan developed is by focusing and thinking about it trying the times that hashem saved us we also see this idea in the magish in in parches boy it says like this it's talking about the exodus so because you're really thrilled it says there that when they say when the jewish people saw the awesome miracles hashem did for them hashem was doing for them in a supernatural way [Music] they saw it they recognized that they felt it then they were able to have to be based on this verse tells us we see we say this every every day we see that the jewish people saw the powerful hand of hashem that he did in egypt the nation feared hashem right interesting they got to a level of fear which we spoke about and what follows out of this sense of awe of god they believed in hashem etc and since we're mentioning now this redemption and how did it come about through their be taken through their faith in hashem and hashem saved them responding then we pray immediately so this is an amazing thing to think about every time we darven first we say we're going to hiroshi smith we remember the miracles that hashem did for us in exodus it's a powerful meditation to think about wow hashem see me then now i'm going to pray and ask him for all of my needs so it comes out that i'm also trusting hashem just like he answered us then because we trusted in him and we had faith in him he's going to he's going to answer us now um that's why we mention the redemption and we immediately pray i'll be talking to ikara year of muno in wrapping this up he says that is the main aspect of fear and faith right fear and faith bring us to be taken which is a sense of confidence and it says he says an amazing thing that because of our be talking why is it that if i'm saying why i talk about exodus and then i pray why does that get me to alhambra to the world to come the answer is because it strengthens my be taken it helps me have that confidence and hashem that whatever i need i'm going to get and the result of that is that i get to the world to come i have a portion of the world to come perhaps you could say it's one of the most powerful ways and the grass says that the entire reason he actually has this quote in the very beginning of the safer so i've been having some trouble actually with my cameras recently i borrowed a camera and the camera went dead in the middle which is fine so i'll just finish off over here in my office it's not as pretty as being in nature but i'll finish off and we'll continue next week but i just wanted to read the grow that he says economy israel the main purpose why the torah was given to the jewish people so that they should place their faith in hashem that's the main reason why the torah was given an amazing thing to gross says islam says in tehran they placed in hashem their trust beyond the fact that we need to develop we need to give it over to our children as opposed to says what is the purpose of our placing our trust in hashem in order that we should be able to give it all to our kids and their kids to their kids so it goes on through all the generations but that's the ultimate purpose that's how he understands what the puzzle can to him is saying king david is saying says the gra what is the main purpose of everything it's having absolute faith in hashem this is the general principle that comes out of all of the commandments when we fulfill the torah when we fulfill that which hashem wants us to so then the result is that we have beethoven when we have years shaman we work in our medias the highest level of that as we've said is we talking thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
