SF - # The Power of "Right Now"

The journey is beautiful

In honor of Mr. and Ms. Aron Gittleson: With heartfelt gratitude, we wish you and your family bracha, hatzlacha, and abundant nachas!

"For now, I could have sent My hand and stricken you and your people with a plague, and you would have been obliterated from the earth." (Shemot 9:15) In this verse, HaShem delivers a staggering warning to Pharaoh. The phrase "For now" (Ki Atah) reveals a fundamental principle of Divine power: HaShem does not require time or a process to achieve His goals. He possesses the absolute capacity to annihilate the entire Egyptian empire in a single heartbeat. We often find ourselves looking back at two millennia of a grueling and bitter exile, wondering: How can a redemption that has been delayed for so long happen suddenly? The Chofetz Chaim explains that this verse serves as the definitive answer to our fatigue. HaShem’s restraint is not a lack of power, but a manifestation of His will. Because He is the Master of the Universe with supreme dominion, He is not bound by the "slow" pace of history. In a mere split second, HaShem can pivot the world from darkness to the light of the Final Redemption, neutralizing every enemy of Israel instantly. The Moral: Faith Beyond Time The length of our exile is never a reason to harbor doubt. Our faith is not based on "geopolitical trends" or "historical probability," but on the omnipotence of the Creator. Be encouraged by the realization that the same Hand that could have obliterated Egypt "right now" is the same Hand that will bring our salvation in the blink of an eye. Today's Takeaway: "Expect the Sudden" Internalize the Verse: Re-read Shemot 9:15 and focus specifically on the words "For now." 2. Shift Perspective: When you hear news of the troubles facing Israel or your own personal struggles, remind yourself that these situations do not require a "long time" to fix. Anticipate: Cultivate the mindset of "constant expectation." Just as HaShem told Pharaoh He could have acted in an instant, live with the awareness that the Geulah Sheleimah (Final Redemption) is only one Divine "second" away. _______________________________________________________ Life Advice – עצת חיים You are welcome to ask any question and receive a personal, private response from Rabbi Zvi Miller.

SF - # The Three Secret Weapons

The journey is beautiful

In honor of Mr. Ephraim Miller: With heartfelt gratitude, we wish you and your family bracha, hatzlacha, and abundant nachas!

"And these are the names of the Children of Israel..." (Exodus 1:1) The Book of Exodus opens with the word V’eileh (ואלה), meaning "And these." In Hebrew, the prefix "Vav" (ו) usually acts as a connector to a previous section. However, as this is the beginning of a brand-new book, the connection seems superfluous. Why start a new beginning with a "link" to the past? The answer lies in the Gematria (numerical value) of V’eileh (ואלה), which is 42. This is a direct allusion to the 42-Letter Name of God (the Shem Mem-Bet), a Name associated with the Shechinah (the Divine Presence). By opening the book this way, the Torah reveals that the Shechinah Herself descended into the darkness of Egypt alongside Jacob. The Three-Fold Strategy for Spiritual Victory The Bat Ayin explains that the primary mission of a human being is to confront and neutralize the "Negative Impulse" (Yetzer Hara). To succeed in this battle, one requires three essential components: Torah Study: Establishing a fixed, daily connection to Divine wisdom provides the holiness and intellectual clarity needed to overcome the tactics of the Yetzer Hara. A Broken Heart (Humility): True humility is born when a person realizes that pursuing base physical desires is a form of rebellion against the Creator. This realization breaks the heart's arrogance. Paradoxically, a "broken heart" is the greatest weapon—it shatters the shell of the negative impulse and weakens its grip. Prayer (The 42-Letter Name): The final stage is crying out to God for compassion. The Shem Mem-Bet (42) represents the Shechinah’s proximity to us in our "Egypt." Because the Divine Presence descended into the exile with us, G-d is close enough to hear and answer our prayers from the depths of the struggle. Today’s Takeaway To experience your own "Exodus" from the limitations and negative influences holding you back: Study Torah to sanctify yourself and sharpen your mind. Humble your heart to weaken your lower impulses. Pray with the knowledge that the Shechinah is right there with you in the struggle.

SF - # Surrender as Salvation

The journey is beautiful

In honor of Mr. and Ms. Jay Worenklein: With heartfelt gratitude, we wish you and your family bracha, hatzlacha, and abundant nachas!

“When I call, answer me, O G-d of my righteousness; in my distress, You have set me free. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.” (Tehillim 4:2). King David provides us with a transformative roadmap for navigating times of hardship. Our natural instinct when suffering is to cry out in protest, asking, “Why is this happening to me?” However, King David teaches us a higher path. Before asking for relief, we declare: “O G-d of my righteousness.” We acknowledge that our current "distress" is not accidental, but rooted in Divine justice. By affirming, “Hashem, You are just in all Your ways,” we transform our perspective. Today: It is specifically through this merit—the humble acceptance of G-d's will—that the gates of compassion swing open. Only after recognizing the justice do we merit the end of the verse: “You set me free, and are gracious to me.” (Rabbi Ben Zion Miller) _______________________________________________________ Life Advice – עצת חיים You are welcome to ask any question and receive a personal, private response from Rabbi Zvi Miller.
