Bitachon Trust in G-D key to A Happy & Joyous life. A New Kabbalah class By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on be Tohono we are going to be studying today a very very special class and that is about something which is called B Tohono beat Oklahoma be translated in English as trust in our salmon and it's a very very powerful tool that we need and especially today with the corona virus where everyone's nervous and everyone's concerned and everyone is worried what's gonna be in many areas of their life so one of the gifts we have as Jews is something which is called B Tohono we have trust in Hashem so we're gonna be learning today about the middle this special gift of Beto : based on a lot of cabbalistic ideas and a lot of Kabbalistic teachings for many many big Cabalists including the lubavitcher rebbe and some of the other Chabad Remy's that was talked about the idea of be tough on which is called trust in Hashem so to be clear that idea of Beto hone is a tool which we need today it's something which is important so we're going to learn what is be tough Horner what is it how do we activate it and how can it help us in our lives so the idea be Tejon is something which is discussed in many many places in the Torah it's brought out a lot of cabbalistic books for example as men name a few ratios hokhmah and Shia chuva and it's all based on a commandment in the Torah in Deuteronomy the Torah says as follows he Said's a llama llama when you go out to Wars everyone knows when you go out to war there's two issues one is you want to be successful in the war but the second issue and the more important issue is you get worried you're nervous and the problems when you get nervous you're not gonna win so the Torah says specifically loi co-op mayhem that a person should not be afraid you going out to war it's a natural thing to be afraid so the Torah says lay serum ahem do not be afraid why could person's afraid you know you're not going to be successful so therefore what should you do if you shouldn't be afraid so what you should be is you should see literally this is Shu attetion the salvation of a sermon and you have to feel the salvation of a sermon in your heart and you should trust that everything is going to be good that everything is what is going to be great now that is again from the Kabbalist based on the verse in the Torah so the question is what does this be tough on mean practically now so we're going to talk about what it means we're also going to talk about beat Oakland does not mean so one might think it's a term that we're used to and that is a term of a muna faith so you might think that you know what beat Oakland is be talking it's like faith faith you have faith that what kind of faith do you have then a sham could be good to you and the Sun could take away any challenges we have so that's faith be talked on it's not just faith that it could happen faith means we have faith finish of it could happen be taco means that it's actually gonna happen in reality in other words that it's so real that it's almost like a guarantee we're for certain that Hashem is gonna save us now what's the difference if you have faith or if you have Batak home very very simple if you have faith so you're not sure you're having faith it could happen it will happen it's gonna happen so there's still a a gap versus when you have beat up on them you know for sure with certainty it's gonna happen and since you know for certainty it's gonna happen you will have Manuka you'll have real peace and calmness and here's the key word if you have be tougher the greater the beat or phone to leave stories so be talk home and where we don't go together if you have the talk on where he goes out if you're worried then obviously if a tough others not working so the more being to be tough home the more the trust in a sham more the confidence of some will hundred-percent be there for you the less to worry if you feel like you're worried then you have to say to yourself oh my beat operas not strong and what can I do to fix that in other words like it's broke down in a book called covert Oliver vote that talks about the idea be tough on he says like this that the essence of the tough one is that the nefesh the soul of the person that's having trust is totally calm totally calm totally peaceful that life and everything is going to be great and your heart so it's a feeling your heart is going to be relying that Hashem that the one that you're trusting on it's gonna do good for you and he's gonna do everything that's been feeling for you and therefore your trust in him and obviously a trusting he's gonna do everything for you and the there's another catalyst that says that there should not be any doubt whatsoever so knows not only you shouldn't worry but you shouldn't even doubt what the Hashem is going to do it so you have zero weary and zero doubt so be taqwa means zero doubt and zero well now here comes the big question it's a bit it's a big tall order what are we saying that when you have be tough on a nutshell means you have no worries and you have no doubt which is true tremendous gifts no worries whatsoever and no doubt and everything's gonna be great so the question is weird where do we get this from to have such certainty then a shame we trust in a shame and because of that all the worries go out the window all the doubt goes out the window and we have true Batak on an inner shell so what's the question because if you look in the Torah because everything goes by the Torah if you look in the Torah we find Yaakov Aveeno one of the three patriarchs that even though he had a promise from Hashem not to worry and everything was meat was gonna be good he was worried why in Hashem price I shall promise them there everything's getting good why is he worried because he was concerned that maybe the promise will not be fulfilled because maybe he said maybe he said he knows after some promise then everything's really great so in theory he shouldn't have to worry but he's concerned that work maybe you know what happened maybe maybe he sinned and because maybe he said guess what it's not gonna happen the way it's supposed to happen now so that's what I shall promised him so the ripping ask yourself a question what happens will be here in this case where I should have a promise stop specifically about this thing that we're going through and therefore every one of us could be just like Jacob and were concerned maybe the promise that our son promised he's gonna take care of us it's not gonna happen and the fact is we're humans and humans do make mistakes so the fact is maybe we made a mistake and maybe this is why it's happening to us so there are B explains as follows that first we're going to talk about one level that's possible that's maybe the reason that we're relying on our portal home but we're gonna see their army says that's not enough and he's gonna want to hire a higher much deeper level and then we're gonna learn really over talk on it so we're gonna find start with the first level and that's as follows a lot of people say and again I'm giving introduction this is only like a thought but eventually when you get to a higher level which is the correct level but you know what to be tough on is based on because we have faith we have faith that a shame runs the world and everything happens for my shin so another thing is if nothing bad supposed to happen to us so guess what nothing bad will happen to us and therefore why worry if something god forbid is supposed to happen to us bad so it's only happy that because the person wanted to hurt us or the virus wants to hurt us it's a shame we wanted it to happen so I have trust in the Shem that's all for the good God is a little Toba it's all for the good and words if nothing's gonna happen it's nothing's gonna happen and if something will happen you know why it's gonna happen because house there are some wanted if they happen and if I'm not words and based on that I can have so to speak I can be relaxed no either everything that was coming from a shell but the Rebbe says that's all nice and a theory of faith we have faith listen everything's fresh n so therefore either if it's supposed to happen in okay it's coming to my Shem or if it's not supposed to happen nothing's gonna happen but that's something to hona be toggled means I am a hundred percent sure Emma's gonna take care of me so the idea of faith doesn't fit in here so the question really is what's this beef up B taco because we Tufnell means I have trust in a sham that even in the second half of the case we're let's say I'm not supposed to be married this tremendous gift from a Shem but nevertheless I know that our son is gonna be there for me and not just gonna be there for me in a concealed way but literally in a revealed way how shun will be there for me and the fact is we all know there's many many people and we can say pretty hey for ourselves there's a lot of things that we did wrong I mean we're not gonna merit the level of a Munna so never never be explained to know that is faith and that's philosophy etc we're talking about the gift to be tough and something totally different what does Beto homes there are be explains like this and I'm going to give you the parameters of what butureanu saying is we toss what it is that the person that has trust has trust in Hashem that he's going to have a good and a great life not in the spiritual world literally physically down here in this revealed world we are going to have a great and beautiful life and we're gonna have a great life and the shut-ins gonna be there for us and as some is gonna take us out of any challenge we're in that means for example in our case we have trust that we're gonna have a great life no one's gonna get hurt and unfortunately the challenges that are going out it's all gonna go away and actually the Rebbe quotes from whole bottle above all which speaks about in depth about the idea be Tohono and he says like this that beat our phone is that you are trust in our something's gonna be good to you in a revealed way whether you deserve it or whether you don't deserve it so it's a pretty tool hoarder be tough hole means hashem is gonna give me whatever i need in a revealed way whether I deserve it I don't deserve it irrelevant how I behaved or have not behaved so now the question is what does that mean we're saying is that beautiful means you're gonna have a great life even though there's an epidemic coming Hashanah will protect you whether you deserve it or not but the question is based on what why should we have that trust based on what what is it based on so the Rebbe explains this based on a famous story that happened to a hostage a student and a follower of the third Habad Rebbe that SEMATECH that unfortunately he came to the earth need some atelic and he asked him to beseech God for Rahman real compassion about someone that was very very sick god forbid and the sum of ten direct turned to him and he said as follows he couldn't give a known blessing find everything be great or he could have told him whatever he wanted to tell them but he told him as follows and I'll say it in and give this connect for he was originally said and then I'll translate it he told him trapped good meds angled which means in Hebrew has shaved toys the guillotine which means think good and it will be good that's what the tell metell told him another was like this let's think about the response he didn't tell him it's gonna be good and in town be positive he says no no no think good it means he commanded him he motivated him he empowered him to think good that's job number one and then he told him to thinking good will make it be good and what kind of good not in the spiritual world but really in the physical materialistic world life will be good and life will be great so what does that mean so the Rebbe explains what what does that mean here we have a little insight what really we took all this beat our phone is where a person has to do something to make it happen so does it's not that things happen on its own you have an obligation to do something knows what does be tough for me there's an action you have to do and when you have the action will be Tom Horn that's will cause the good thing to happen in other words the be tough horn is my job is to think good what does that mean think about this in the case of that summit unexhausted he was dealing with someone that was very very sick and when someone's very very sick you can't think good all the things you're hearing and all the predictions with some family medical packing you think good but nevertheless water that some upsetting tell them think good is it easy to think good it's not easier than good but the some have told him if you will think good you'll be able to overcome your inkling of thinking negative you're gonna work on yourself you're going to move your soul to instead of not only thinking of the feeling that's gonna be good they're thinking and the feeling that it's good that will make it good in a real way and there are be quotes from songs King David King David says like this hash Lake Allison you hover which means that the only one I'm relying on I'm not relying on this one that one what this one says no no the only one I realign is one one person in one place itself and that's a shame I am relying in a sin and once I rely on a shame I know everything will be good and be tougher comes from like I'm by taya I am relying on you Hashem I know the only one that could help me is you and I'm relying on you to help me and God willing you will help me now the Rebbe brings from pilot Oliver boat and he gives an example give him a shot he says take for example somebody that's a servant a servant of a master and his job is to do whatever the master asked him to do the master job is to take care of him so the servant that works for the master he knows everything he needs he gets from his boss he needs food his boss gives a mean he's drink the boss gives I mean he's a bad divorce gives him he gets sick the boss is gonna heal him he has no other resources he's 100% reliant on his boss it's in the same way that if somebody works for someone and that person responsible take care of him that's the same way we have to have the relation rush and we know for certain Hashem is our Father Hashem is our God and where is children and anything and everything we need a shovel give us whether we're deserving whether we behaving whether we're not behaving whatever it is Hashem will give us now so in other words you are relying 100% that everything is coming from a shell and the reveries words it says like this this this that you are relying on a sim which means again in Hebrew to be tough compassion the fact that you're saying you know what I am 100% trusting in a shed I'm not trusting on this person and that person and this system and whatever whatever maybe I am trusting strictly in a sham that is the foundation for the trust that we have that ashram is going to give us a good life in a real way even if we're not befitting for this type of kindness we are a hundred percent real ownership now what does that mean so beat our own doesn't mean that I have faith in our sin because sin Hashem is without limit and he can do whatever he wants and therefore he's gonna give it to me no no be tougher means that it's work and not only its work it's tremendous effort and it's actually so work because I have to be willing to have trust that the only one I'm turning to as a Shem and the only one that could help me and will help me is a sin and that's the only place we aren't gonna get my help from 100% only for myself that is be tougher so again be tough cold means clearly that the only place and the only person and the only resource I'm going to get help is just from a Shem once I do my part where I basically turn myself over touch them and that's the only place I look for em that is gonna cause I shouldn't to give me everything that I need but is it easy no it's not easy because what you're basically saying is I am relying 100% in a shell it's now when you rely in a shell that someone's gonna take care of you so it's very simple if you rely 100% on a Shem do you have any worries so it's very simple then let's say from 1 to 10 if you rely on a sham 10 where he is zero if you're relying on a Shem five the wear is gonna be 5 so the more you're able to get rid of the way and you're able to move up to relying in a Shem that's how the batons gonna happen and the great graded to be tough on which is my work and the greater my work to get rid of my worry that's gonna cause me to receive the gift of my shell and because I'm doing this work what's the work I'm doing the work that I'm doing is I am basically having trust in a sham and I'm not mean I'm not gonna worry that's gonna cause a sham to give me the gift and there are big coats from safer apron which is a Kabbalah book which is based on Psalms and Psalms it says follows now bjf Hashem the one that trust is in Hashem has said you say Amendola he'll be surrounded would cat with with kindness so the rect reward for beat Oakland and Hashem is kindness in other words even though you don't deserve the kindness you're gonna get kindness from our shell because you'll be talking to she'll understand and even though for example something terrible supposed to happen nevertheless as long as you have be tough from Hashem nothing will happen and this is the interesting we find insulting Psalms and Book of Psalms King David's like this Batoche passion to command have trust mission and we know what cities royal the Jewish people but talk much time we have trust in us in and by us having be tough in the sham we will get all the rewards from our sin so if we start making calculations how is it going to work guess what now we're not having trust in the shed but the more trust me I share the easier it's gonna be to have trust in the seven that won't get rid of all the worries that we have and that's again the ultimate actually brings in time and he says that when a person has faith in Hashem the faith in our salmon will make that the good will be good happen in a revealed way and the Rebbe says based on us we can understand it understand a deeper understanding what what up what did some Excel think was saying that some italic was saying save toys the year toy or in you distract good design good or in English think good and it will be good which basically means the thinking good when we think good and again it's not easy something that's very very hard to think good how can you think good you're hearing a little terrible news and you seem terrible things are happening exactly but when we're able to overcome our avoid is to overcome all the things we're hearing all the things we're seeing but still able to pierce out and thinking good that will cool and make happen that should be good and there he brings a famous story from the Torah in Exodus and the story goes as follows we all know that moisture Boehner when he was in Egypt so he saw a Egyptian hurting a Jew and we all know how much you're gonna kill them whether he killed him on his hand then we got a couple minute with a divine name he killed him then what happened was the next day mush man he came out and he sees two Jews fighting and one Jew picks up his hand to the other Jew he didn't hurt him so moisture Abeyta tells him Ross a quote a wicked person why are you hitting the other person now the question he didn't hit him he didn't eat a hit and do anything as hands but obviously the minute you pick up your hand it's no but - no no so the person tells them oh do you want to kill me like he killed the Egyptian the other day story in the Torah with the commentary is the men - on it so moisture Boehner says oh and I'll quote but year my sure while she was afraid but yeah even he says I'll say no you die hard over now the word is out number but I did the other day - the Egyptian and because of that he actually ran it with much weight and decide to run away so the question is asked one second moisture of a new did what he did to the Egyptian he wasn't afraid he never ran away if he did something care why Denis run away obviously he didn't run away because he didn't do anything wrong so was hurting another person he stood up to self-defense the problem the commentary say over here was that now moisture may no he was never concerned maybe people going to find out the problem was by year of moisture moisture be no got worried what does that mean he got worried he lost his full be tough on an ashram that everything's gonna be good if you believe you're doing the right thing have trust necessary be good the fact that someone tells me oh and you're gonna kill like you killed the other person why are you worried about it if you believe didn't do anything wrong the problem was my gear my shirt moisture was afraid and the minute his fear kicked in now he realized now I'm in trouble so in other words what there are bees bringing out is when did moisture mean and realized he had to run away why was here why was he afraid because when he became afraid now he sought to run away in other words that's look the opposite if moisture meter was not afraid he wouldn't run away and I see you see clearly from the Torah clear story the minute fear kicks in and beat AHA goes down minute beat often goes down then you stop running then you start running away in you're nervous and all the negative things come into play so what do we see from here clearly that practically that when a person is confronted with challenges whether it's spiritual challenges or physical challenges there's no question to make it clear obviously if you have to go to a doctor you should go to a doctor and I think of you specific orders you have to listen obviously ten thinking it's a whole different world but for all simple you have to listen we're talking one point at one point only and that is about not being afraid and not having any worries and by working on ourselves not having worries and not being afraid and having the talk on - um - um we'll take care of us that will open up tremendous gifts and tremendous blessings and which is interesting is we all know that when the Jewish people went out of Egypt so keen so King David says in Psalms as follows a Les Halles Oh aku anymore - we reached out to you and you took us out of Egypt now why did you take us out of Egypt because we all know the famous song in Derby sings becau BOTS who believe oh sure because we had to be tougher than us em and we were not embarrassed therefore when we turn to you you actually saved us again because what happened first was back about who we turn to your sham we tell family I'm trusting you that you're gonna take care of us we're not gonna worry you were not going to be concerned we're not gonna be afraid and therefore you took us out and that's the that's the reason why the Jewish people in Egypt and actually was getting ready to celebrate Egypt Egypt so it says the same thing also this godless that we're in if we want to go out of this godless the way we're going to go out of this call us is as the prophet Isaiah says that we have to have faith that the issue of the salvation is going to come and the stronger we have faith that the salvation is going to call them that will cause for us to have and experience the redemption so in other words like this be tough lean trust in our sin is the most powerful tool and gift that God gave us because if you have be tough in a sham number one is you you're secure and you're confident that our sin will take care of us 100 percent and if you have to be tough line you're not gonna worry and you're not gonna be afraid you're not gonna have any fear and any anxiety anything and you're an experienced true simcha but be tough lying is not just a gift you can go to the store and buy it be takling takes work be talking takes work at our part that we are committed that the only place we want to receive blessings from as USN we don't want it from ever anywhere else and we know I shouldn't you're gonna give it to us we're not settling to go to any middleman or any other place and by us doing our avoid or then we will merit a shovel turn to us that you're gonna say but listen maybe I don't deserve it and that's the that's the beauty of the talk line whether you deserve it or not the beauty of meat offering is and if you buy take my sermon if you trust in a sham you will receive Hashem's beautiful loving gift of love and war happiness and when you have a sense gift of love warmth and happiness you have the grass greatest and best life so to recap the class of Beto phone is as follows that the top line is one of the biggest gifts because that a person has be tough line when you have trust in Hashem you will have true peace happiness with zero worry and concern or fear of anything now it's available whether you deserve it and out the only thing you need to do is put the effort in what is the effort in Yiddish Hebrew and English track good in Yiddish in Hebrew talk show of tones in English thing good thing positive are avoided is very simple this think positive thoughts with you on that level whether you feel it whether you believe it you're holding there as long as you actively fill your thoughts with positive thoughts and again we know it's not easy and something is very very hard especially now all the stories you hear but if you're able to with in all the craziness keep your mind focused with good thoughts that are Sherman loves us and our son is gonna take us out of this challenge and he's gonna give us tremendous blessings and it's gonna be and we're gonna have we have a great life which can be a great amazing life which again it's not easy to do but by doing that that's cool be talking Martian that's called doing our part and when we do our part you know what happens Hashem gives us infinite blessings Hashem wants to see us as hard as it is remember that I Shem runs the world and remember that because of Chevron's the world the only place we turn to as a sham and you know today it's not easy because we can't go to shul and you know you don't have your you know the community together etc but guess what Hashem is everywhere so even though you can't be in shul and you can't do it Dominion and you know people talk about Pesach mean we're not gonna be together but you know what a Shem is not limited to shul yes it's more powerful everyone knows that Hashem is everywhere in every place and a shop is available anytime wherever you're at whether you're in the street whether you're at home whether you're in a park whether you're outside the Shem is everywhere and as long as you constantly get actively 24/7 put your be tough on your track good exclusively in a sham whether you deserve it it out Hashem will give you the greatest blessings so on one hand it's very very easy because you can just trust in our motion gives you everything on the other hand yes it's very hard just to trust in the same when you see and hear all these terrible things but the fact is when you constantly put your trust in the Shem and you think positive and you're constantly only turning to us and how Shelly will give us all the greatest blessings and the greatest blessings we're which is the greatest blessing where I shall reveal himself to us and we'll have be blessings beyond our wildest dreams so it's really I didn't say it's easy it's it's an effort it requires effort and just maybe maybe sometimes a little painful because you're going against the grain you're going against how you aim you feel right now but you're pushing it all aside and you're putting on a smile cuz you know what Shem loves you and you're putting your trust in Hashem you're getting rid of all your worries all your fears and this will give you the greatest gift the gift and a Shem will be the only exclusive place you turn to and when you turn to our Michelle says trot good vibes and good luck about who we have trust Michelle Aleph azhagu and Benham luck to our seven will heal us and redeem us and take us out of our personal exile and our global exile only because one reason mohabbat who we think good we trust exclusively i7 and we'll mail it merit to the greatest blessings and let's talk i hope that we all think positive we all put our trust exclusive not exclusively our said will all bear it to the greatest revelation are so revealing himself to each and every one of us personally and collectively thank you so much for joining us to our share and let's hope our be talk line will give us the greatest blessings that we all need right now
