Hashem’s Special Invitation

When a situation arises that causes us to worry – whether a medical concern, a financial problem, or any other situation that makes us anxious – we should realize that Hashem wants to grant us something special, so He gives us the opportunity to earn it by overcoming our fears and placing our trust in Him.

Seeing Your Own Light

Just as a person is judged for his actions, he is also judged for not rejoicing in the good he has done, and for failing to see his own light.

Gifts or Opportunities?

Hashem doesn’t give gifts. He gives opportunities.

A talent or parnassah is not a gift. They are opportunities to show how you will use them.

Sweet Victory

Using soccer as an analogy for mitzvos, R’ Sholom Schwadron, the Maggid of Yerushalayim, would often say:

“The greater the opposition, the more significant the victory!”

So when a mitzvah feels hard, remember that the challenge is what makes the triumph so precious.

Back to the Basics

“Go to your yeshiva and tell your students that there is a God in the world.”
~ R’ Yechezkel Levenstein

I love this quote, because it’s so easy to get lost in routine and forget the simple truth: Hashem is here.

The Next Level

At the very moment a person is about to rise to a higher level of holiness, he may suddenly encounter the exact opposite — thoughts or experiences that feel impure. 

Do not lose heart. This is a sign that you are drawing closer to holiness.

Doses of Medicine

Even if a person learns and works on themselves without seeing immediate results, they must not give up. 

Just as medicine takes many doses before the body is healed, the soul also needs steady doses of effort before it is cured of its struggles.

Hospitality

Because of you, I’ve felt the beauty of a home filled with warmth, kindness, and open doors.

 Forward this to someone who welcomes you warmly.

This week of compliments reminds us that kindness does not cost a penny, but its value is infinite. May we carry this habit into all of Elul and beyond.
