Emuna

Learning the Ten Commandments in depth is a wonderful preparation for the holiday of Shavuos; today, we have the opportunity to learn them and to learn how the entire order of creation depends on them. 

Just like childbirth, the closer we get to Moshiach, the more frequent and excruciating the pains become. Is there room for alarm? Is there any consolation?

First Aid for Overcoming a Difficulty:
Remember that Hashem is not limited - Hashem can do whatever He wants whenever He wants;
Light a candle in memory of the holy tzaddik Rebbe Oshaiya Ish Tiria;
Put a coin in a charity box or give charity;
Say Psalm 29;
Now ask for whatever salvation you need.

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?

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

Bea from the UK asked me how one should go about teaching emuna to a person who doesn't believe in Hashem...

Amalek, the arch-evil personification of the Sitra Achra (literally "other side", the antagonist of holiness) in every generation, has one main task - to destroy emuna and everyone who spreads it. 

"Seven Falls" is not some vacation spot in Colorado – we're talking about life's inevitable setbacks that knock us down and what to do about them.
