Description

We will study this complex, fundamental and practical issue of Bitachon and Hishtadlus. We will place particular attention to the Ramban's view of Avraham Avinu, as well as Rahi's view of Chizkiyahu HaMelech and the concealment of the work of Medical Cures. We will revisit the episode of Yosef and the Sar HaMashkim, and try to define the controversy between the Beis HaLevi and the Chazon Ish regarding Yosef's failing, and this will reflect on the issue of Bitachon and Hishtadlus for all of us.
