This segment about Trust Differences features an in-depth analysis of the second of seven pragmatic Trust Distinctions. Episode Two of the Fifth Chapter, entitled "GREATER PEACE OF MIND" continues to illustrate the difference between people possessing Bitachon and those who don’t. Rabbeinu Bachaya will clearly demonstrate how those who mindfully place their Trusts in G-d enjoy a vastly enhanced quality of Life; uniquely achieved by successfully nurturing real Bitachon in their hearts. Investing in this quantum attitudinal shift successfully yields inner peace, bringing enormous differences in real time living experiences. Gone forever are natural worries. Fears and frustrations are replaced by a profound calmness, joy, and perpetual good cheer! In take two of this seven-headed discovery, the next level of difference brought about by Bitachon in Hashem lucidly spelled out.

As we enter the third dimension of seven pragmatic Trust Distinctions, we move to transcend attitudes, feelings, and the nature of our relationship with G-d. Episode Three of the Fifth Chapter, entitled "SAME DIFFERENCE" presents the next big difference between possessing Bitachon or not. For although the course of action may seem identical, a world of difference will ultimately emerge! From here onward, Rabbeinu Bachaya will clearly demonstrate how Trust mindfulness invariably manifests itself into a behavioral path that includes actions engendered as well. Resultantly, an enhanced quality of Life is engendered by the Bitachon one has. This is new dimension is inaugurated with an illustration of the inner transformation of our expectations and perspective of this like vocation, financial pursuit, or efforts to heal. The Trust that nests in our heart and provides us effective mechanisms to employ to achieve those same actions in extremely very disparate fashion. Take three of this seven-headed discovery, moves us onto a fresh range of possibilities to live more calmly and peacefully -- all directly brought about by an awareness of the Torah truth distilled into heartfelt Bitachon in Hashem.

Concluding the third dimension of seven pragmatic Trust Distinctions, as we move on to the fourth arena. Both emphasizing practical behavioral divide (in addition to attitude, theory, and theology) between the one who trust, and the one who doesn't! Episode Four of the Fifth Chapter, entitled "THE GIVER" demonstrates a huge practical difference caused by the possession real, clear Bitachon! After completing “Same Difference” we move on "The Giver" who views Parnassa as the blessings of Hashem. This perspective influences our actions, rather than just our attitude towards benevolence. Distinctions Number Four shows a vast difference in generosity in life, spending habits, and charitable giving. Here we will discover how Bitachon can inspire a Good-Heartedness that leads to More vs Selfishness that ends with less! This fourth segment of the Fifth Chapter of "Sha'ar HaBitachon" completing the third dimension and presenting the fourth comprises the 139th consecutive video about nurturing Trust in G-d and learning how to Conquer Anxiety.

Moving into the fifth dimension of seven pragmatic Trust Distinctions, we continue to focus on practical behavioral divides between one who successfully nurtures a proper, healthy and balanced Bitachon welt Anschauung and the person who relies on their own wherewithal, talents and efforts. Episode Five of the Fifth Chapter is entitled "CHOOSE YOUR FATE" clearly illustrates how Trust mindfulness impacts the way people make decisions and pragmatically go about planning for the immediate, as well as more distant future! The fifth-dimension distinction provides guidance in how we go about choosing an occupation. You'll discover why Trust mindfulness makes a world of difference in how people view earning their livelihoods. When seen as an Act of Serving Hashem, Yiddishkeit engagement remains paramount. However, lack of true Trust results in abandoning of life’s essentials. Without Bitachon people can easily fall prey to a misguided and even obsessive quest for wealth that ultimately brings them nothing but negativity, and the opposite of the success sought! This fifth segment of the Fifth Chapter of "Sha'ar HaBitachon" comprises the 140th consecutive video about nurturing Trust in G-d and learning how to Conquer Anxiety. Forever!

The sixth dimension of seven pragmatic Trust Distinctions demonstrates how having Bitachon can be the single most important ingredient empowering us to succeed in our interactions and relationships with others. Entitled "THE LIVES OF OTHERS," the Sixth Episode of the Fifth Chapter illustrates the glaring difference between those possessing a healthy sense of Trust, undergirding their emotional and social wellbeing in contrast with those bereft of it. Here, with incredible clarity, Rabbainu Bachaya illustrates how placing your trust in Hashem allows you to be comfortable in your own enough skin to engage with others in a mutually respectful and friendly fashion. Conversely, people lacking in Bitachon will necessarily live with a profound sense of uneasiness that can easily leads to delusional suspicions, unwarranted toxic jealousies and unhealthy negativity that literally ruins relationships. The sixth segment of the Fifth Chapter of "Sha'ar HaBitachon" has been generously dedicated to honour the memory of Alexandru ben Rephael and Dvora.

Discover the freedoms that are yours to claim, and how you can choose to happily live life in the present tense, instead of being obsessed with worries about the future. Here, Rabbainu Bachaya explains how the attainment of real clear Bitachon best positions you to be able to find time, learning how to prioritize the things that are truly important in life. The illustration of this Trust Difference enables you to discover how you find inner peace instead of getting bogged down in a quagmire of anxieties about the uncertainties of the unpredictable future.

his Episode is the third take on spelling out the Trust Differences that are found in the seventh and final Faith Distinction. Entitled "ONE LAST DAY," it's a continued illustration of what was begun in the previous two episodes. This lengthier last thesis, winds down on Fifth Chapter, that highlights practical application of Bitachon . Broadly speaking, this Night Segment of this chapter continues to develop the dimension of the value added to life when it's punctuated with Trust in Hashem, by emphasizing with pragmatic differences between those who do, or don’t live with Trust. Specifically, this Episode focuses on the things we should be concerned [even worried] about... This is about a healthy form of anxiety about the future, that directly impacts and enhances the way you live life now!

1:00:52
This Episode features the Seventh Distinction Epilogue; the fourth and final segment on the seventh Trust Differences which also concludes the chapter on the profound distinctions between a living infused with Bitachon, vs a life bereft of it. Entitled "CHEATING DEATH," it's the climax of what we've already mapped out over the course of the past three episodes. With it, we wind down on the practical, and positive differentiation Trust makes, with a jarring postscript on Trust-less Living. This Tenth Segment completes the full gamut of differences that this chapter features, with a study of opposites that depicts wrong-headed priorities faithlessly embraced. The last of the listed differences between those who do, or don’t live with Trust is now most vividly illustrated in the subconscious choice made to ignore one's mortality. This inevitably leads a person to foolishly view materiality, and the here and now, as eternal. And, as one bad choice leads the next – thereby he forgets life’s true purpose altogether. Sadly, people's obsession with their immediate self-gratification causes them to squander their own happiness in the exchange. Here, you'll see how mindfulness about mortality, and Trust in Hashem enables living with inner peace despite the many challenges and difficulties life throws at us. This Tenth and final Episode of the Fifth Chapter of "Sha'ar HaBitachon" comprises the 145th consecutive video designed to teach you how and why you should nurture Trust in G-d to Conquer Anxiety. Forever!

Moving into the fifth dimension of seven pragmatic Trust Distinctions, we continue to focus on practical behavioral divides between one who successfully nurtures a proper, healthy and balanced Bitachon welt Anschauung and the person who relies on their own wherewithal, talents and efforts. Episode Five of the Fifth Chapter is entitled "CHOOSE YOUR FATE" clearly illustrates how Trust mindfulness impacts the way people make decisions and pragmatically go about planning for the immediate, as well as more distant future! The fifth-dimension distinction provides guidance in how we go about choosing an occupation. You'll discover why Trust mindfulness makes a world of difference in how people view earning their livelihoods. When seen as an Act of Serving Hashem, Yiddishkeit engagement remains paramount.

Entitled "THE LIVES OF OTHERS," the Sixth Episode of the Fifth Chapter illustrates the glaring difference between those possessing a healthy sense of Trust, undergirding their emotional and social wellbeing in contrast with those bereft of it. Here, with incredible clarity, Rabbainu Bachaya illustrates how placing your trust in Hashem allows you to be comfortable in your own enough skin to engage with others in a mutually respectful and friendly fashion. Conversely, people lacking in Bitachon will necessarily live with a profound sense of uneasiness that can easily leads to delusional suspicions, unwarranted toxic jealousies and unhealthy negativity that literally ruins relationships.

This Episode features the Seventh Distinction Epilogue; the fourth and final segment on the seventh Trust Differences which also concludes the chapter on the profound distinctions between a living infused with Bitachon, vs a life bereft of it. Entitled "CHEATING DEATH," it's the climax of what we've already mapped out over the course of the past three episodes. With it, we wind down on the practical, and positive differentiation Trust makes, with a jarring postscript on Trust-less Living. This Tenth Segment completes the full gamut of differences that this chapter features, with a study of opposites that depicts wrong-headed priorities faithlessly embraced. The last of the listed differences between those who do, or don’t live with Trust is now most vividly illustrated in the subconscious choice made to ignore one's mortality. This inevitably leads a person to foolishly view materiality, and the here and now, as eternal. And, as one bad choice leads the next – thereby he forgets life’s true purpose altogether. Sadly, people's obsession with their immediate self-gratification causes them to squander their own happiness in the exchange. Here, you'll see how mindfulness about mortality, and Trust in Hashem enables living with inner peace despite the many challenges and difficulties life throws at us. This Tenth and final Episode of the Fifth Chapter of "Sha'ar HaBitachon" comprises the 145th consecutive video designed to teach you how and why you should nurture Trust in G-d to Conquer Anxiety.

In addition to the stirring and perhaps even disturbing message encoded into the Shofar, there's an uplifting and empowering concept being conveyed to each of us!

And, as it turns out this is likely the very thing to unlock the door to the blessings we hope for on Rosh Hashanah. The Torah Portion read on the last Shabbat of the year seem to convey an obvious message about unity. Yet a deeper analysis demonstrates that something foundational is actually being conveyed to each of us! Discover an uplifting, empowering and unifying thread woven into the very fabric of this High Holiday season; the defining pattern of the tapestry called Tishrie!

Episode Four, entitled "SOULFUL COMPASSION = DIVINE AID" opens with dominant, well documented themes of spiritual rejuvenation appropriate for this time of the year. Then, focusing into the specific element of Tzedakah (righteous charitable giving), we'll go on to reorient the conventional view and understanding of this time-honoured component of our Elul Avoda/spiritual preparation for the High Holy Days. For although Charitable Giving of funds should most certainly be a major ingredient in our Elul-vating Efforts, perhaps there is more than the sum of its parts. In this Episode we will shift Elul's Giving Dimension from the way we do something positive, into a positive new way of being. Here we pursue a profoundly enlightening an empowering fresh approach, a perspective that suggests it’s NOT only about the money. And NOT even about us! This is big new idea about living with openness, and a spirit of generosity that can best serve to open the floodgates of new blessings on Rosh Hashanah! Ultimately, and perhaps most remarkably this can flow far beyond frame of Elul and the High Holidays. It should become the foundation for an inspired way of Yiddishkeit living that can illuminate and light up the entire new year that follows. This Episode comprises the fourth in a special continuing series dedicated to highlighting the High Holidays!

Episode Five, entitled "SATURATION POINT" opens by highlighting the origins of the Jewish New Year's theme of annual judgment and a renewed lease on life. Surprisingly enough, it isn't the anniversary of creation of the cosmos, our planet's atmosphere or biology that sparks this yearly global renewal. Rather, it is the creation of humanity and the emergence of purpose that incorporates (and ultimately elevates) the entire strata of our quantum physics reality that it's all about. In this Episode we further develop a deeper perspective on the ordained annual renewal we focus on each year, based on those specifics. And, beyond the providing the universe it's meaning, we are then shown how we can incorporate the global picture into our own personal reality. By virtue of seeing the planet reflected in our own being, we are enabled to see how to best illuminate our individual orbits -- as we are each metaphorized as an entire world! As such, our calling to Avoda/spiritual preparation for the High Holy Days must be framed by the message of Rosh Hashana itself -- pointedly observed the day of Humanity’s Creation rather than the Creation itself. This Episode comprises the fifth in a special continuing series dedicated to highlighting the High Holidays!

Episode Six, entitled "PRO CHOICE" opens by returning to further highlight the observance of the Jewish New Year on the anniversary of the faith-based biblical narrative of intended, and divinely choreographed creation. Yet, as already introduced in the previous Episode, the anniversary focused on is not creation of the cosmos, our planet's atmosphere, biological or animal life, but rather the unique introduction of humanity. To solve this theological riddle, we are led into a discovery on the idea of purpose, and ultimate meaning the creation narrative embodies. In addition to the many fresh sources not previously presented, this Episode adds an entire novel dimension along with new depth and profundity to things already learnt. Here, we will as we zero-in on the most foundational and critically element uniquely embodied by humanity alone: The Freedom to Choose! Transcending theology, this incredible tapestry creatively woven by the Rebbe of strands lifted from more than 2000 years of traditional Torah texts and teachings dynamically reorients our understanding of Rosh Hashana itself. This presentation even radically illuminates the way we view the Jewish New Year, Divine Judgement and even the meaning Life itself! This Episode comprises the sixth in a special continuing series dedicated to highlighting the High Holidays!

This in-depth Gemara study is on the fascinating teachings of Perek Chelek, which uniquely focuses on Faith Matters and Torah Theology. From Credo to Conduct, we explore the Soul's Nature, Eternity, the Afterlife, fascinating Prophecies about Historic Events as well as the future Messianic Redemption. To clarify these aspects, archetypal personalities, exceptional eras, and events are often analyzed and assessed to shed light on these matters. Occasionally, our Sages will probe beneath the surface to reveal deeper dimensions and enabling us to learn the lessons of history and avoid repeating their mistakes today! Tractate Sanhedrin, Page 95 a " THE CONQUEROR" In the previous Episode, we learned about the events leading up to the terrifying siege Sennacherib imposed on Jerusalem and the seemingly impossible situation King Hezekiah and his loyal citizens found themselves in. A star-struck Sennacherib raced against the clock to arrive at Jerusalem just on time for the predicted Fateful Day. In Contempt of Zion, the Monarchical Commander-in-Chief arrogantly views Judea’s Capital City in derision. Discover the incredible story behind his deadly decision to delay that becomes a devastatingly fateful mistake as the destructive decree against the Jewish People metamorphoses into miraculous deliverance!

Tractate Sanhedrin, Page 95 a "YOUR ROYAL HOSTAGE" In the previous Episode, we touched upon the terrible and tragic events leading up to, and the actual massacre of Cohanim in the city of Nov. This sets the stage for a most unusual episode in the life and tribulations of Israel's eternal monarch. Here, we will open with choice of punishment that was placed before King David, as he was forced to select the consequences. Discover the incredible story of a Royal Hunt that goes awry in a dizzying array of Satanic proportion with Falcons, Fake Deer and the Wild Chase that led to a Capture the King by an Evil Giant named Ishbibenob! The terrifying reality of Captivity in Gaza sets in with the King being bound and gagged. By the grace of G-d, a crushing assassination attempt narrowly fails. The supernatural Divine deliverance is even ultimately alluded to in the book of Psalms. A Commander of King David' Armed Forces is tipped off about the monarch's dangerous predicament, and that sets a dangerous rescue mission into motion!

Tractate Sanhedrin, Page 95 a "MISSION TO RESCUE" In the previous Episodes, we were introduced to terrible and tragic massacre of Cohanim in the city of Nov. Although King David was not responsible per se for the perpetration, as the unwitting catalyst an element of guilt nonetheless stains his soul. G-d give the Monarch a consequential choice of cleansing, forcing him to select. In fulfilling his choosing, a divinely designed domino effect leads him to Captivity in Gaza, and a crushing assassination attempt from which he is miraculously saved. Now, Hashem sends a message to a Heroic Leader of the Royal Armed Forces about David's desperate situation, and he must carefully weigh how to best proceed on this dangerous rescue mission. Godspeed into Gaza the General gallops. Sure enough, he almost immediately encounters a "Mother of Terror." She deceptively tries to kill him, and a deadly confrontation between this female Gazan terrorist and the Israeli war hero ensues. Moving on to Save the King, it proves to be a fraught endeavour, as the illustrious Hostage is hurled into a deathtrap. His Decorated Rescuer stops the Freefall with a supranatural act of suspension, as we are held in suspense!

Tractate Sanhedrin, Page 95 a "SAVE THE KING" In the previous Episodes, we were introduced to a Heroic Leader of the Royal Armed Forces being paranormally informed about King David being held as hostage in a life-threatening situation in Gaza, the dangerous rescue mission he undertook. Narrowly escaping a terrorist's attempt on his life, he successfully eliminates the threat moves on to Save the King's life as he's hurled into a deathtrap. As we concluded the previous Episode in suspense, with the rescued Monarch miraculously hovering in the air, hanging between life and death, we now open this new Episode with an analysis of the supranatural potency attached to uttering a Divine Name, and why the servant rather than the sovereign did it. A surprising Prayer Reversal comes out of a change of heart, and royal turnabout that leads to a paradigm shift in the circumstances. A post-mortem report will be used to weaken the enemy. Then he’s eliminated. Finally, and thankfully The King is Saved! The entire strange saga ends with the military brass reviewing battlefield protocol, and a new edict about the of monarchical battle positions is adopted, and the rules engagement are now changed forever! This fascinating class is yet another addition to the growing collection on Perek Chelek.
