For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L.
Gan Emunah, the Garden of Emunah, is one of the most
inspirational books in our generation for our modern and crazy society (we actually gave out over 250 copies last year alone). It
sends a simple message: Believe in G-d and you will be the happiest person in
the world. And the best part of the book is that it is written by a Rabbi who
really lives this lifestyle that every Jew should live by. After all, if Hashem
is The Creator of the ENTIRE WORLD then obviously He can get us out of every
situation and everything is under His control.
Gan Emunah explains that there are two main people in the
world when it comes to Emunah. How did he explain it? Through the Bus-Passenger
metaphor. If there is someone who is with full Emunah that Hashem is the driver
of the world, then they have no problem; they actually sit on the bus without
any worries.
However, the passenger without having in mind that Hashem is
in control, he/she stand up, can’t get their eye off the windshield to see if
the driver is going the correct way, start giving their take on how the driver
should drive, start telling the driver where to go without any clue where they
even are. They are sure they are correct and are so worried and stressed out it
is seen all over their face and body language!
The same goes for Am Yisrael, especially now during Pesach
which is symbolized through Yosef HaTzadik’s life. Yosef went through hardship
after nisayon after hardship after life crisis and on and on. However, it is
not written even once a single complaint that came out of Yosef HaTzadik’s
mouth.
This is the same thing that we should be going through,
obviously G-d forbid hardships and difficult times; however, we always need to
have in mind Hashem is in control and then all the stress leaves us. Especially
in regards to falling and sinning and letting the Yetzer Hara control us. We
need to know even if we fall and we continue to be upset with ourselves we must
must must stay happy and believe that it is in Hashem’s power to get us out of
our sin. Be’ezrat Hashem we will succeed to pray to Hashem with all our heart and
He will calm the Yetzer Hara down for us.
Its like taking the final push. Now is money time. In 2 days
its Shevii Shel Pesach, therefore the Yetzer Hara is doing all he can to make
us fall and sin so we will be upset during Yom Tov.
