SF - Hope Has the Power to # Break Obstacles

The journey is beautiful

"The eyes of all look with hope to You, and You provide their food in its proper time." (Tehillim 145:15) The word for hope in this verse is rooted in the word “shever”—literally, break. When our trust in HaShem is steady and unwavering, that trust has the strength to break through every barrier and obstacle. Today: Deepen your trust in HaShem so fully that it pierces through all difficulties, and live with the calm assurance that He will provide your daily sustenance.

SF - # From Strength to Strength: The Cycle of Prayer and Faith

The journey is beautiful

"Yisrael, trust in HaShem from now and forevermore." (Tehillim 131:3) "Trust in HaShem, strengthen yourself, and He will embolden you—and trust in HaShem." (Tehillim 27) These verses uncover the secret of prayer and trust in HaShem. Many people mistakenly think that HaShem wants us to pray only once. If our prayer is answered, we rejoice. If not, we assume our request was rejected, and we give up. However, the verses teach us something very different: we must pray to HaShem repeatedly. "Trust in HaShem"—pray to Him. "Strengthen yourself, and He will embolden you"—when you fortify your trust, HaShem responds by strengthening and uplifting you. "And trust in HaShem"—once your spirit is renewed, return to prayer once more. The cycle of trust and prayer never ends. Even Moshe Rabbeinu did not pray once or twice. He poured out more than five hundred prayers to enter Eretz Yisrael, ascending to every corner of Heaven in his pleading. Only when HaShem Himself told him to stop did Moshe cease. How do we bring this lesson into our own lives? Take these verses on your lips: "Yisrael, trust in HaShem from now and forevermore. Trust in HaShem, strengthen yourself, and He will embolden you—and trust in HaShem." Let them enter your heart. Pray to HaShem. Strengthen your trust. Allow HaShem to encourage you. And then pray again. Today: Never stop praying. Never stop trusting. Always believe, always hope, and always remain confident that HaShem will bring salvation. (Midrash Tehillim 40:1) Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - # Hashem Love for His # Children

The journey is beautiful

“HaShem loves Klal Yisrael like His most precious family” (Micha 7:18). The Midrash (Shir HaShirim) teaches that He calls us “My daughter, My sister, My mother.” Even when we stray, HaShem declares: “How can I punish My children? Their pain is My pain.” As the verse says: “In all their suffering, He suffers with them” (Yeshayahu 63:9). And it is written: “His soul could no longer bear the suffering of Israel” (Shoftim 10).HaShem cannot endure our distress or disgrace—for we are His family. How do we internalize this profound truth? Just as HaShem relates to us as one beloved family, so too, all of Klal Yisrael must see ourselves as one soul. Our neshamot are bound together in a single spiritual essence. Therefore, it is fitting that: A person should desire goodness for his fellow, as for himself. He should rejoice in his friend’s honor as in his own. He should never wish for his friend’s downfall, nor speak ill of him. For in truth, one’s friend is an extension of oneself. This is why HaShem commanded: “Love your fellow as yourself” (Vayikra 19:18). Because we are one “super soul,” love for another is, in essence, love for oneself. Today: Thus, we are called to feel our friend’s pain as our own and to celebrate his joy as our own—just as HaShem feels with us, in both suffering and in blessing. (Tomer Devorah, Chapter One) Donate May the souls who left this world be remembered for a blessing.

SF - # The Royal Torah: Sanctifying Leadership with Holiness and Humility

The journey is beautiful

“When the king sits upon his royal throne, he shall write for himself two copies of the Torah… and it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear Hashem…” (Devarim 17:18–19). The king of Israel reflects Malchut, the Divine Kingship, while the Torah embodies Tiferet, the Divine Glory. Just as the moon shines by receiving light from the sun, so too Malchut draws its radiance from Tiferet. When the king of Israel holds the Torah, he unites Malchut with Tiferet, allowing the brilliance of Tiferet to illuminate Malchut. Through Torah study, the king’s holiness rests upon him, strengthening his influence both in Heaven and on earth. Moreover, the sanctity of the king tempers the natural inclination of a ruler to feel superior to his subjects, instilling humility and service. Torah study is a profound remedy, sustaining the spiritual realms above while sanctifying the People of Israel below. Today: Picture King David seated upon his royal throne, holding the Torah close. See the Torah’s light radiating, strengthening the Kingdom of HaShem and sanctifying the king with divine holiness. Let this vision inspire you: deepen your Torah study, and fill your soul with holiness, humility, and radiant light.
