Emuna Hour

True trust in Hashem permeates every level of the soul and opens the gate to every Divine blessing, as we learn today.

We learn an important new word in Hebrew today - hishtadlus, or effort. The age-old question that each of us has is how much hishtadlus must one do in making a living? What's the relationship between hishtadlus and bitachon, between effort and trust in Hashem? Our sages teach that the material we incorporate in today's lesson is a major income-enhancer.

Today's lesson is survival school - how to maintain trust in Hashem during times of trouble.

Some people think that Bitachon is wishful thinking, when a person is confident that Hashem will do whatever he or she wants. Others say no, Bitachon is the calm acceptance of whatever Hashem does, no matter how painful or uncomfortable it might be. Who is right?

What does it mean to trust in the Almighty? What does it do for you? "Lean on Me", our first of a new series of lessons about bitachon - trusting in G-d - will show you just how much you are capable of improving the quality of your life.

If you've ever lost a loved one, nothing could console and comfort you more than the Thirteenth Principle of Emuna, which we learn today on Emuna Hour (40-minute lesson).

Today's lesson is a guide for the perplexed, those who want answers to the following questions:
1. Who is Moshiach and how will we recognize him?
2. What will happen when Moshiach comes?
3. Will life be different in the age of Moshiach?
4. Is there any truth to the claims made recently that Moshiach will come by a certain date? 

Without what we learn in today's lesson, we can't possibly understand why we make the choices in life that we do. Don't miss this:

While learning the Tenth Principle of Emuna, we not only learn the amazing ramifications of Hashem's omniscience and Divine Providence, but we also see how modern technology gives us a greater insight into Divine wisdom.

In the Ninth of our Thirteen Principles of Emuna, we learn how the Torah is irreplaceable and unchangeable, for it comprises the Divine wisdom that Hashem used in creating the world, as we see in several amazing examples, such as the secret of immunization, which Louis Pasteur found in the Talmud.

Is the Torah relevant today? Isn't it ancient and antiquated? Why must I follow "man-made" religious law? Tough questions? Today's lesson on the 8th of our 13 Principles of Emuna answers all these questions, and more...

This week on Emuna Hour, we learn the 7th Principle of Emuna, all about the prophecy of Moses and why it's so important.
