This is Your Moment!

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Emuna Daily

This thought that just came into you that wants to derail you from everything holy…this is an opportunity for you to fulfill your mission in life…by subduing it, confronting it, dismissing it, transforming it!  Don’t get depressed and say “Oy, what is my mind up to?”  This is your moment!  This is your opening to greatness…This is your path to the Ribono Shel Olam…Wherever you are in the world, that is where God is waiting for you. ~ R’ YY Jacobson Shlita

Attaining Ruach Hakodesh

Posted on August 15, 2018 by Emuna Daily

The Arizal told me that attaining ruach hakodesh is dependent on how much kavanah one has when one says brachos [over food].  When the brachos are said with kavanah, it destroys the kelipos (impurities) and makes the food pure to receive holiness.  He warned me about this a lot! ~ R’ Chaim Vital zt”l

Waking up a little Earlier in Elul

Posted on August 13, 2018 by Emuna Daily

Shulchan Aruch (581) states, “The custom is to awaken early and to say Selichos from Rosh Chodesh Elul until Yom Kippur.” The Rema adds, “The custom for bnei ashkanez isn’t so…”

Reb Shmuel Wosner zt’l explained that the Ashkenazi custom is that they don’t begin saying Selichos from Rosh Chodesh Elul, but they also have the custom to awaken early to daven. Because all opinions agree that these are special days for tefillah. As the Tur writes, “Whoever prays more, it is for his benefit.” It will help him on the days of judgment. ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman Shlita

Firm Belief

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Emuna Daily

It is true that faith rests on reason and there is solid evidence present to support faith. But such faith can be shaken.  It is but a stage on the way to firm belief – the faith that is a firm bar of steel that cannot be eroded. ~ R’ Yerucham Levovitz zt”l

In Due Time

Posted on August 7, 2018 by Emuna Daily

Regarding a shidduch, the Beis Yisrael zt”l would say, “when the right minute comes, it happens in less than a minute.”  And therefore people shouldn’t fear, because everything happens in due time. ~ R’ Elimelech Biderman Shlita

How He Answers Us

Posted on August 6, 2018 by Emuna Daily

Hashem answers us in three ways:
He says “yes” and gives you what you want;
He says “no” and gives you something better;
He says “wait” and gives you the best!

Even Greater

Posted on August 3, 2018 by Emuna Daily

The foundation of bitachon is to believe that everything is from Hashem, Who is good to all… And when a person doesn’t understand why things must be the way they are, at those times the good is even greater! ~ R’ Moshe of Kobrin zt”l
