The Shomer Emunim ztk’l brings down that even in the days of the great flood of Noach and the days of the tower of Babel there were great leaders such as Avraham Avinu who was blessed with Divine inspiration to help uplift the people from the difficulties. All through the days of Egyptian slavery the Levi tribe, Moshe and Aharon lead the nations to witness miracle after miracle; emissaries of Hashem’s wonders. Yet in our days, it appears as though we are sheep with no shepherd to guide our way to the much anticipated and final redemption.
We are living through difficult times enveloped in concealment within concealment. Many sense isolation and confusion, a genuine feeling of being abandoned by our Creator. A main reason for having to go through such hiddenness according to the Shomer Emunim is to arouse our yearning and lacking of Hashem’s presence. As a result of the soul’s awakening Ahm Yisrael are uplifted to the highest heights and draw vitality from the source of life itself.
This great gift comes to those who deeply desire to return to Hashem. Often we belittle the importance of our inner craving to spiritually grow and improve. Yet, we learn here that this is the key to geulah. In spite of the devastating events that occur to Ahm Yisrael on a national and individual level it is incumbent upon us to accept it with a full heart, if not from a place of intellectual understanding, then from a state of loyalty and trust that everything Hashem does is for our ultimate best. Emuna in Hashem is the essential piece Hashem waits for us to find and attach to the big puzzle of life in order to complete this stage of exile and hasten the geula shleimah.
Today’s daily dose of emuna is dedicated to the refuah shleimah of Yosef Eliezer ben Devorah, a 9-year-old boy with osteosarcoma. May Hashem shower him with a complete healing among all of Klal Yisrael who are sick and suffering b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
