Rabbi Shalom Arush
How is it possible that the Jews in Egypt saw eight plagues that decimated the Egyptians (but left them unharmed) and yet believed in idolatry and in their own wisdom? Today isn’t so different – Rabbi Arush explains...
Today there are yeshivas and kollels in a vibrant Jewish world. There are many baalei teshuva and people who are increasing their mitzvah observance – but where is the Geula? What more can we do to witness the Geula? What’s missing?
The worst transgression in the Torah is that a person can live 70-80 years and not know that he has a Father in Heaven Who loves him like a son! Our teshuvah and redemption depend on internalizing this.
A Jew is sure that Hashem is a good Father and does only good, but everything is going badly. Where are the miracles? Where are the salvations? It's not a question - it's a scream!
Rabbi Arush's message for everyone: Even if your life looks like a nightmare, go to Hashem and say: “You love me and do only good for me, and I will have even better and better”. You will see how all harsh judgments sweeten.
Knowing that Hashem always loves you is the basis of everything – from your feelings of self-worth all the way to your bitul to the tzaddik. Your spiritual growth depends on believing how dear you are to Hashem, and that Hashem’s love for you is never endangered.
What is common to a woman having complications during birth, a motorcycle rider with a dead motorcycle, and a parent sitting in the principal’s office? Answer: They all sang and were saved! Read some true stories of emuna, hope, and salvation!
When a person knows how much Hashem loves him and he feels this love, he’s willing to do much more for Hashem and His honor. Nothing awakens one’s heart to teshuva and to closeness to Hashem more than thanking Him.
In our current situation of uncertainty, confusion, and deep stress, how do we hold up? How do we maintain joy? What can encourage us in such a situation? Believing that everything comes from Hashem is not enough. Rabbi Arush explains what’s missing...
You’ve done everything – read the books, did hitbodedut, visited graves of the tzaddikim, and did every segula possible. But...nothing changed! Rabbi Arush explains what critical piece is missing for the salvation Hashem wants to give you.
The clear knowledge that Hashem loves me is not only the basis for all emuna, mental health, self-confidence, and believing in oneself. The emuna that Hashem loves me is also the basis for true ahavat Yisrael.
Dear Jews, believe in yourselves and believe in the good you have in you. Believe that Hashem knows that you are good and that you only want to be good and that you always want the best!
