When the yeshiva’s mashgiach wanted to expel a student who had repeatedly failed to keep his promises to improve, the Klausenberger Rebbe responded…
“I’ve promised Hashem over 1,000 times to improve and haven’t kept my word.
In your opinion, should I give up?
Chas v’shalom! As long as a Yid lives, there’s hope that he will improve his ways.”
You know sometimes when you’re walking down street or riding in the car and you can’t look into a siddur or a sefer – what can you do?
Think about Hashem!

Chazal tell us that Hashem says, “Open for Me an opening the size of the eye of a needle, and I will open for you an opening the size of a hall.”

As life changes and the world changes, new challenges arise. However, with bitachon, the same solution answers all questions.
Whether crime goes up or down, whether inflation goes up or down, whether the world is calm or in turmoil, we have to wake up in the morning and say, “Hashem, I am relying on You to get me through the day.”
~ R’ David Sutton
One act of kindness performed in this world creates waves of blessing in the next.
