SF - # The King’s Secret and the Power of a Gracious Word

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

Core Idea


The Ben Ish Chai tells of a king who fell into a deep, inexplicable depression. No doctor could find a cure, and no entertainer could bring a smile to his face. One day, a simple traveler requested an audience, claiming he held the remedy.

Instead of offering a potion, the traveler began to speak. He didn't speak of the king’s wealth or power; instead, he spoke with such profound kindness, humility, and genuine interest in the king's well-being that the king felt a physical weight lift from his chest.

The traveler explained:

"Your Majesty, the soul is nourished by the breath of speech. When words are harsh, critical, or arrogant, they act as a poison to the atmosphere. But when a person practices hospitality of the heart—welcoming others with soft speech and a gracious eye—they create a 'spiritual oxygen' that heals both the speaker and the listener."

The Journey of the Soul


The Ben Ish Chai emphasizes that hospitality (Hachnasas Orchim) is not merely about providing a bed or a meal; it is about the speech that accompanies the service. A meal given with a scowl is a burden, while a simple glass of water offered with a warm word is a banquet.

  • Speech as a Creative Force: Our words have the power to build worlds or destroy them. Soft speech (Lashon Raka) breaks the "bone" of resistance and fosters connection.
  • Hospitality of the Heart: To truly host someone is to give them a place in your mind and heart. This requires silencing our own ego and "jealousy" to make room for another person’s presence.


Practical Exercises

  1. The "First Word" Rule: Resolve that the very first word you say to anyone you encounter today—family, colleague, or stranger—will be a word of "hospitality." Use a greeting that makes them feel seen and welcomed (e.g., "It's so good to see you," or a warm "Good morning").
  2. The Critic’s Fast: For the next four hours, abstain from any form of critical speech, even if it is true. If you cannot say something that adds "spiritual oxygen" to the room, practice the hospitality of silence.
  3. The "Full Attention" Host: When someone speaks to you today, put down your phone and turn your body toward them. This is the ultimate form of hospitality—giving someone your undivided focus is a gift more valuable than any physical meal.

(Based on the Parables of the Ben Ish Chai)

SF - # The Fragility of Material Shortcuts

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

This passage from Chovot HaLevavot (Sha’ar HaBitachon) highlights the psychological and physical prison created by relying on worldly "shortcuts" (alchemy) versus the liberation of trusting in HaShem.


Core Idea: The Fragility of Material Shortcuts


The alchemist—or anyone who relies solely on their own cleverness to secure wealth—lives a life of profound insecurity. Even if they succeed in "making gold," their success is their greatest liability. They are forced to hide their craft in shadows, fearing that the government or greedy individuals will discover their secret. Ultimately, their wealth does not accompany them to their end, and HaShem—the "Ruler of all"—may allow that very secret to become the instrument of their downfall by placing them at the mercy of those who would kill for it.


The Moral


True independence is not found in a secret bank account, a "perfect" investment, or a hidden advantage. Those things require constant protection and invite anxiety. Real freedom is found in Bitachon (Trust), which provides a security that no thief can steal and no king can confiscate.


Application Exercises


To shift from the "Alchemist's Anxiety" to the "Trusting Heart," try these three exercises:

1. The "Open Hand" Audit (Identifying Alchemy)

We all have "alchemy"—things we think we must have or do to be okay (e.g., a specific connection, a hidden side-hustle, or a certain image we project).

  • The Action: Identify one area where you are "hiding" your efforts or feeling overly protective/anxious about your source of income or status.
  • The Goal: Consciously acknowledge: "I put in the effort, but this source is just a tool. The Source is HaShem." Practice being slightly more transparent or generous in that area to break the "secrecy" trap.

2. The "Fear Replacement" Protocol (Mental Pivot)

The alchemist fears that "the Ruler of all will give power over him to someone who will put him to death." This is the ultimate fear of losing control.

  • The Action: When a financial or personal worry arises, stop and say the phrase: "The Ruler of all is the only one with power."
  • The Goal: Replace the fear of "the person/event that can hurt me" with the realization that even that person/event is under HaShem’s control. If He is for you, who can be against you?

3. The "Wealth of the Heart" Walk (Physical Security)

The Ba’al Bitachon walks safely because his wealth is internal.

  • The Action: Go for a 5-minute walk without your phone or wallet.
  • The Goal: As you walk, focus on the fact that your value and your sustenance are guaranteed by your relationship with the Creator, not by the items you carry or the "gold" you have stored. Feel the physical lightness of not having to "guard" your security for a few moments.
