What is a Ben Torah?

Being a ben Torah goes beyond how many hours you learn Torah.  When a ben Torah walks down the street, he represents the Torah, and his every nuance, the words he uses, the places he goes to, the way he reacts – it all has to create kvod Shamayim.

A ben Torah is someone who reflects the light of Torah 24 hours a day.

None Besides Him

When one, God forbid, finds himself in distress, let him contemplate the absolute Oneness of the Creator, that there is none besides Him. 

Then, all Heavenly judgments fall away and no harm can reach him.

Stop Blaming Yourself

One who lacks bitachon blames himself for outcomes he never controlled and is left full of regret.

But one who has bitachon knows the result is Hashem’s decree and lives without regret.

The Medicine for Yesurim

The Gemara (Brachos 62a) states that the medicine to heal yesurim is to accept them.  Accepting the yesurim with the belief that this is Hashem’s will and for the good is a segulah and a refuah for the tzaros to leave.

Arm Yourself With Tefillah

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov teaches us that prayer is a Jew’s main weapon.  

Just like a soldier without his weapon is incomplete, so too is a Jew without prayer.

Success, Failure, and Bitachon

One who has bitachon accepts Hashem’s judgment in every situation and thanks Him for both the good and the difficult.

One who lacks bitachon takes credit for success and blames Hashem for failure.
