The Torah says the Eyes of Hashem are always upon Eretz Yisrael, from beginning to end. Chazal say the Pasuk teaches concepts in Rosh Hashana setting the tone for the year. Something to think about as we start to turn to Hashem for a sweet new year for EY and beyond.

Hi,The 11th Pasuk in the parsha starts with Eicha, and is lained with the Eicha tune. Chazal say there are three Neviim who said Eicha, and they saw the Jewish people in three different states. Was Moshe deciding to delegate the judgments connected to the Churban? Was it a sign of a bad root?Have a good Shabbos

Welcome to Daily Bitachon The theme of the month of Av is based on a Pasuk (verse) in Ashrei : "Tov Hashem Lakol" —God is good to everybody. This is a critical concept. The Gemara ( Yoma 9b ) teaches that the primary difference between the first Beis Hamikdash (Temple) and the second Beis Hamikdash came down to Bitachon (trust in God). A lack of Bitachon was a core reason behind the destruction. The Foundation of True Reliance In Chovos HaLevavos ( Sha'ar Bitachon ), the author explains that to truly rely on someone, you must know that they possess ultimate, unceasing generosity and kindness—regardless of whether you are deserving or undeserving. No human fits this description. That quality belongs solely to Hakadosh Baruch Hu , God's generosity is all-inclusive, and His kindness surrounds all. The proof? "Tov Hashem Lakol." Furthermore, in Sha'ar HaBechina , the Chovos HaLevavos emphasizes that God's kindness includes everybody . "Everyone" doesn't mean "most"—it means every single creation. You can take that Pasuk to the bank. Yet, rabim k'ivrim me-hakirun —most people are blind to this reality. Even if they do realize it, mavin godel tovatan , they fail to grasp how immense it is. They don't truly delve into it ( ve'einam maskilim ) for three main reasons. Barrier #1: The Cycle of Desires and Arrogance What is the first major barrier that stops us from appreciating these three words, "God is good to all"? We are entirely consumed by worldly pleasures, personal desires, and a hyper-focus on what we lack. Instead of seeing what we do have, we are totally absorbed in the massive hope of fulfilling what we don't have. The Endless Chase: Whatever a person reaches, they immediately want the next level. The wonderful gifts they already possess become small and limited in their eyes. The Comparison Trap: A person begins to think that anything someone else possesses was somehow taken away from them. The underlying spiritual cause of this is sobering. Tehillim 10:4 states: "Rasha (the wicked one), kegovah apo (because of his arrogance), bal yidrosh (he is not searching for God)... God is not on his mind." Our innate arrogance makes us feel entitled to everything. When we feel entitled to everything, anything we lack feels like a deprivation. We look at others and think, "I was supposed to have that." Meanwhile, the staggering miracles we already possess are brushed aside: A beating heart? Meh. Working knees? Okay. Fully functioning kidneys? So does everybody else. On the black market, the organs inside your body right now would cost a fortune—yet we take them for granted. Rabbi Addis once noted that when you go grocery shopping on an empty stomach, you buy everything in sight because you feel empty inside. You think you need a lot to be happy. But once you eat just a little bit, you are satiated. The problem is we don't even focus on the "little bit" we already have. We adopt the attitude of Esav, who demanded, "Pour it down my throat." We search for treasures on the other side of the world when they are sitting right in our own homes. Two Lessons on Perspective 1. The Treasure Under the Sink There is a famous story about a poor man living in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) who dreams of a pot of gold buried under a specific bridge in Vienna. He scrapes together his last coins and travels all the way to Vienna. As he paces back and forth by the bridge, a local guard stops him and asks what he's doing. The man confesses his dream. The guard laughs and says, "You Jews and your silly dreams! I had a dream last night that there was a pot of gold buried under the kitchen sink at Alfandari 18 in Yerushalayim. Do you think I'm going to travel all that way?" The man freezes. Alfandari 18 was his own address. He immediately travels back home, digs under his sink, and finds the treasure. The Message: People think they have to go to Vienna to find fulfillment, but the pot of gold is already inside their own home. 2. Rabbi Akiva and the Gift of Straw The Gemara ( Masechet Nedarim 50 ) tells of Rabbi Akiva and his wife, the daughter of Kalba Savua. Her father disowned her and cut off her inheritance for marrying Akiva. They were so poor they slept on a floor covered in straw. Every morning, Rabbi Akiva would gently pick the straw out of her hair and say with hope, "One day, I am going to give you a golden tiara." One day, there is a knock on the door. It is Eliyahu HaNavi (Elijah the Prophet) disguised as a regular beggar. He says, "Do you have any spare straw? My wife just gave birth, and I have absolutely nothing to put her on." They gladly gave him some of their straw. Afterward, Rabbi Akiva turned to his wife and said, "Look at that—that person doesn't even have straw, and we do." The Insight: Eliyahu HaNavi came down from heaven. Why didn't he just give them a gold coin instead of taking their straw? Because Eliyahu HaNavi was giving them something far more valuable than gold: a lesson in attitude. If he had given them gold, they simply would have wanted more gold. By showing them someone who lacked even the bare minimum, he taught them to appreciate the wealth they already had.
