The Shmuz Live - 0032 - Bitachon and HIshtadlus - Finding the Balance

from The Shmuz · host JewishPodcasts.fm

If the Menorah was made through miracles, why give Moshe instructions for it? This question underpins one of the fundamental concepts in Torah hashkafa: the delicate balance between bitachon and hishtadlus. Whether it’s health, shidduchim or parnassah, how much effort are you expected to invest, and when should you say that you’re leaving it entirely to G-d? In this clarifying shiur, Rabbi Shafier exposes some crucial misconceptions and brings to light exactly what your attitude should be when it comes to working hard, paying those bills or pursuing your goals.
