Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: When you come to the Land which I am giving you, and you reap its harvest, you shall bring to the kohen an omer of the beginning of your reaping. And he shall wave the omer before HaShem so that it will be acceptable for you; the kohen shall wave it on the day after the rest day. And on the day of your waving the omer, you shall offer up an unblemished lamb in its first year as a burnt offering to HaShem - Vayikra 23 : 10-12

Serving HaShem is placing our trust in Him for all our matters and among them is a peace of mind in trusting HaShem. When we choose not to trust HaShem and place our trust in something other than Him, HaShem will remove His providence from us and leave it in the hands of the one we trust instead.

We all have a path to follow, a mission to fulfill, obstacles to overcome, challenges to let us grow, in all we can find HaShem. Having emunah is how we relate to good times, but also to what we call the " bad times."  

A piece of paper full of thoughts. A covenant, a people, and a land, a complicated story and a journey full of obstacles.

Chassidim is one of the great succes stories in world history of religious movements. When the Baal Shem Tov died in 1760, there were no more than twenty to thirty followers linked and could claim  to his legacy. All of his followers were within the far southeastern corner of Poland, near the border of Russia. There is little knowlegde of any influence of the Baal Shem Tov beyond his followers and his Hometown Miedzybozh. Half a century later, larger parts of Eastern European Jews, considered themselves followers of the Baal Shem Tov - The Chassidic movement.

Mitzvos temidiyos, the two most fundamental of these six mitzvos are Emunah and Yiras HaShem which  means faith ( loyalty )and awareness of HaShem.

Judaism has a body and soul; the two are in harmony and find expression through embracing the body, which comes alive through merging with the soul. The body and soul in Judaism are halacha. Halacha means “The Way” --the way we live, the way we do things, or don’t do things.

Judaism isn't just about you or me; it is about us. A covenant HaShem didn’t make only with Avraham and Moshe. It was made with all of us, the Jewish people.

With antisemitic violence and harassment at an all-time high, it’s a scary time to be a Jew. But you know what feels even scarier? Being a silent one.

In our busy day to day life, what does it mean to be  inspired by faith? Most of the time we don't acknowledge expriences, or overcome challenges which we have to reflect upon, sometimes greater than we could ever imagine.

Rabbi Dovid Vigler spots a hidden lesson what every Jew must know after Mamdani's victory.

We are living extraordinary but turbulent times. It was only two years ago that we were optimistic about  peaceful times, which now has been replaced by fear and depression. It looks like there is no win- situation for Israel. We are blaming Bibi that he doesn't do enough, as we go trough the motion of trying to make sense of it all.
