Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: There Is No Despair

Description

Based on the Ma'amar "Ein Yei'ush Ba'Olam' in the sefer "Yichud Hahisbodedus" by Rav Avraham Tzvi Kluger. P. 4. Begrudging, broken-hearted acceptance in the current situation can be ameliorated by yeiush (giving up). Feeling - in a very positive way - my utter helplessness and dependence. Transforming despair into life-saving ko'ach. The purpose is not that "one day I'll be happy," but that "right now I'm happy." Discovering the deep faith we never suspected inside ourselves. The appropriate setting for nechamah. Instead of loosing my joy in life, I take advantage of all that happens in my life in order to talk with Hashem. Ein od milvado - there simply is nothing else. A description of Rav Soloveichik's mourning for his wife. A distraction is not a deep and meaningful way to deal with a loss. It is within the hardship that we are closer to the redemption of our soul - this is Hashem's purpose in giving us the difficulty. A commentary on the bride and groom's grand entrance into the hall and what makes a beautiful wedding. The big Shutaf (partner [Hashem]) finds his way into every wedding. Two wonderfully inspiring stories about a wedding nearly gone wrong, and how to give up.
