Bitachon 42 - Never Fear!

you're listening to the 42nd edition of the talking podcast and we've completed the entire section of the talking and madrigal ottoman i'd like to share with you now some words from the best alevi rabbi yosef dave salavechuk or yoshimir a safer that was written so it's very small safer as you can see it looks a little bit big but it's actually quite only a few lines per page and the ideas that he shares i believe are very much in line with the sheet of the altar of the verdict and of course alternate verdicts understanding as we've seen so many times is one of very strong we talking going to the nth degree with rb talking not really involving ourselves in status and efforts at all and of course we ourselves personally everyone needs to find their own personal level in vitacon and and uh you know find the balance between ishtadlis and trust hashem but i feel like this safer also picks up where we left off as far as bittoken and it talks about it interestingly from uh from from the onset from an angle that we didn't so much see in the altar of the verdict and that is from the obligation of italkin and what happens when one does not have the talking the results of that in a negative sense and it's important also to understand this and let's see this together comes in many many so many of the verses you find it all over the torah he says a person who does not be talking it's a great sin okay so we're used to thinking i'll be talking as a milo as a positive thing as a good thing to have maybe hashem will give me to grant my wishes whatever it is but says the basal levy a different approach a different thought about bitaking and that is that bitaken is an obligation it's a it's a mitzvah and if i don't have it it can bring out some negative results but vera is the best alive an amazing thing an important thing if i don't have the talking if i don't have this if i haven't fulfilled this myth so i'll be talking the result is the very fact that i don't trust in hashem causes a negative result the fear says the verse in proverbs in michelle chapter 29 verse 25 the fear of a person shall bring about shall cause the trap shall cause the negative result of the one who trusts in hashem is prosperous he gets so much to ali desai adam says the best that when a person is afraid by the person's fear itself hashem he fears a certain thing he's afraid this is going to happen he's afraid someone's going to get sick he's afraid some evil is going to befall him he's afraid he's not going to succeed so this itself brings about zero gremlin this itself can bring about a trap a negative result that wasn't even there before so you half of the passage however is that the one who trusts in hashem is prosperous the game had ser shahayaba you know a person can be saved even from any difficulty that he does have through his vitacon so be talking ordinarily we think of it as something it's a nice thing to have so the saliva is not just a nice thing worse than doesn't have so it's an average it's a sin and it can cause negative things to come out as a result of his lack of bitarchem amazing idea kosov it says in jeremiah in in the first chapter passages do not fear them lest i cause their fear to come upon you it's important not to be afraid of our enemies why not because we have great power not because we have great military prowess not because we have amazing rockets that can shoot down anything that they send our way don't fear because hashem is in charge god is protecting us we'll see more soon nuno it's nothing groaned he may have saw he made a sound which came out of fear why are you groaning do you want to bring some negative thing upon yourself job was well known for the terrible tragedies that befell the terrible situations he found himself in possibly says i was afraid and it came upon me they saw levi is saying bring in the gemara that says that when you are afraid of something that very fear can bring about the very thing that a person fears the word cain xiv that's why the posix says you shall go out to war foreign do not be afraid of them i'll mention here before we continue story that happened to me personal story a few years ago i was working on an album and i did a tremendous amount of establish a tremendous amount of efforts i involved this person involved that person i spent this much money i raised this much money goes back it was four years ago already four years ago more than four years ago and i did every effort i i really did a lot of estateless i also had me talking but i had a lot of fear and the album came out when it was released i was extremely fearful i was afraid that other albums would affect negatively my album all kinds of fears that came up which really pulled me down really pulled me down and not long after i had these fears stuff started happening that was really unexplained only never happened before it never happened after hashem the album was taken off of particular services off of apple music itunes lost the momentum there all kinds of funny things happened and it seemed to me it seemed to me that uh it was pretty clear as i thought about it and i thought about it more that the reason that these things happen was because of my fear i was afraid you wouldn't succeed i was afraid the songs wouldn't be heard i was afraid the album wouldn't sell and the very fear itself i know i spoke about this a while ago the idea of negative be taken but here he's explaining that the reason that negative things happen when a person doesn't have vitacon when a person fears is because of the alvera of not having be talking very interesting it's a different perspective than we're used to now back here is about the jewish nation going out to war what does a war look like for the jewish people it's different than anything that we can imagine it's different than anything that we can think about we've never experienced this but deposit says don't be afraid don't be afraid of your enemies when it came to the minion of mitzvos he says that when he's counting he's giving us a list of the mitzvahs he says this is an actual negative commandment one of the 365 licenses of the torah prohibitions don't be afraid a person who goes out to war and he's afraid transgresses this prohibition very interesting if a person does have fear so then he would have to go back you can't be part of the war if you're afraid okay says who is afraid who is soft of heart let me go back to his house right and as the posix says in the continuation of the verse it says he's going his fact that his heart is melted he's going to cause the hearts of those around him to melt think about that that means if i don't have if i don't have faith if i don't have the proper belief in that i can cause a risk and i can cause a weakness in all of those around me as a result of my lack of faith and conversely of course to the extent that i have be taken that i have a powerful faith in hashem i can strengthen all of those around me it's very important idea very powerful idea since a person is afraid he can be trapped heaven forbid because of this how did wars work for the jewish people the jewish people's wars were not waged in nature in a natural way like we wage war where like we think of war it wasn't with who has a strong or guided missile who can shoot down the other one's guided missile it was navigable their physical strength it's not with their military prowess it was with their betaham because with their faith in that was what gave them the power to be able to win the battles acosta like the position says in ishayah in isaiah chapter 30 with quiet and with faith that's your power our power is not from how loud we can speak and allow we can yell we will never let them have a nuclear weapon that's not where our power comes from our power comes from our faith in god our faith our belief in god that we are at a fundamentally unbelievable moment in history who has gathered nearly 7 million jews back to the land of israel to bring about the final redemption so shortly so soon it's not going to we're not going to be protected because we have better missiles we have better military acumen it's going to be because god protects us god saves us that's what's going to be our protection says in psalms famous pastor we say it whenever we say halal god is mine especially in chapter 1 18 verse 6 god is mine i will not fear maya sally what can a person do to me what kind of person do to me because i'm not afraid if i'm not afraid nobody can do anything to me that's what he's saying is amazing thing why am i not afraid why don't i need to be afraid because i god is mine that's the beginning that's the predicate that's the foundation of this passage god is mine i will not fear what can a person do to me if i am completely if i completely have faith in my hashem and my god so nobody can affect me negatively and as we said to the degree that i have this faith degree that i have this in this assuredness i'm so positive i'm so confident that hashem will take care of me i affect myself and i affect all of those around me like like we saw in these verses i'll tell you another story that happened maybe two stories one is a member of the pitakan group had a certain level of we took a very high level i'll be talking and that person's child was in a very dangerous situation and the person was saved the child was saved how was he saved he was saved because he grabbed onto the vitacon of his parent that's what he said parents said no you it was your nose but there's truth the the sense the sense of the sun was that it was the parents be talking that saved them because arbitan affects those around us something happened to me last week something happened in my family good thing hashem we had a child born to one of my wife's siblings and my mother-in-law came from the states there was a lot of hoops to get through in order to come here things have opened up a little bit by now but at that moment it was not an easy task it's still not an easy task and we provided her all kinds of different papers people are saying where she's gonna stay she was gonna my wife went to pick her up at the airport and she was going to have to pick her up bring her home quarantine in our home we have a separate room with his own entrance but when she got to the airport my mother-in-law the people told her there the people in charge the security people said to her that she needs to go to a quaran to quarantine in a hotel she can't she can't quarantine wherever she wants she has to quarantine in a hotel now during this whole process so i thought we had the paper that would be able to help her get out of this issue but it wasn't clear was going to happen and my wife was very nervous i said to her i have been talking it's gonna be okay it's gonna be fine she's gonna come with you home tonight it's not gonna be an issue she's not gonna have to go to the hotel i got off the phone with my wife and i said to everyone who was there my two of my daughters i said i have be talking i said very loud over and over again i'd be talking that my mother-in-law is going to get safely into the car in a small amount of time i said 20 minutes and she might be a little frazzled but i envisioned i saw i envisioned her coming to the car safely any problem coming home there's a certain paper that she needed she did have and she was able to come home it wasn't necessary to be so nervous i felt to be talking strengthening me and strengthening those around us so i encourage you to work on your beta to recognize this and and even as we're seeing here to come at it from the from the perspective of this is something that's not just a nice thing to have not just a good thing to have but it's an obligation to have and when i'm missing that pitakan the very thing i fear heaven forbid the very thing that is feared without that connection taco de shparoku the thing that i fear could happen for a big come so strengthen ourselves strengthen ourselves strengthen ourselves on this concept of talking we affect ourselves we affect those around us thank you so much for listening see you again next time
