Send a Lifeline

We have to believe in other people.

When we think about people who are struggling or going through a rough time, and we’re not sure if they will make it through – when we reflect and really believe that they will succeed, we can send them a lifeline.

Believe in them, have faith in them, pray for them, and this way, you can literally send them the strength to get through it.

~ R’ Tzvi Sytner

Here’s the Difference

They say “When I see it, I will believe it.”

We say “When I believe it, then I will see it!”

That’s the power of Bitachon!

Shabbos Nachamu – A New Era

This Shabbos is one of the most special Shabbosim of the year.  On this Shabbos, Hashem consoles us and gives us hope for the future.

The Maharil teaches, “The Shabbos after Tisha B’Av is Shabbos Nachamu.  The entire nation should rejoice and trust in the coming of the redemption.”

This Shabbos heralds a new era.  The sorrows of the past are over, and now we believe that better times are coming.

What do we Know?

The saddest thing in the world is that we know so much about each other’s mistakes, but how much do we know about each other’s good deeds? 

How much do we know about each other’s good points?

Harsh Decrees

Hashem, at times, issues harsh decrees, but He also gives us the strength to withstand them – to prevail.

Please Hashem

If this past Simchas Torah was like Tisha B’Av, may this coming Tisha B’Av be like Simchas Torah, with the coming of Moshiach!
