It Takes Some Work

Posted on June 11, 2021 by Emuna Daily

One must work in order to receive Hashem’s blessings.  The passuk states “In order that Hashem, your God, bless you in all your handiwork” (Devarim 14:29).  You must provide some handiwork for God’s blessing to be applied to.  ~ Tanna D’vei Eliyahu

    I love your emails. Thank you so very much. If you have no objection, perhaps you can consider adding a more precise source when mentioning a possuk, gemoroh, medrash, Zohar, etc. such as including the perek or daf, etc. I personally like to look up quotes that I am not familiar with to see exact language and context. I would have wanted to look up the Tanna D’vei Eliyahu you quoted below (which I have already learned more than once yet I cannot recall the message you quoted below). Adding rabbah or zuta and which perek would have been appreciated.

    A gutten chodesh and Shabbos.

    Thank you for the comment. I sometimes haven’t included exact citations in the past because I think it is just cleaner. The secret to the success of this blog is that the quotes are nice and short. However, I will try to make more of an effort to include the source where I can. Very often, however, I will take the quote from other reliable sources which quote the line I use and they often don’t provide the exact source. So if I don’t cite the exact source, assume it is because I don’t have it. Have a great shabbos!
