Baltimore, MD – Sept. 1, 2021 - I'd like to publicly thank Hashem for miraculously keeping me alive after a recent terrible accident. David Hamelech in Vayivarech Dovid, thanks Hashem l’einei kol hakahal, and he includes V’ata michayeh es kulam. But then, Hashem also gives strength to all, U’viyadcha legadel ulechazek lakol.
I’d like to publicly thank Hashem for keeping me alive, miraculously, after a terrible accident recently
As Bnainu director, I want to give something more to the community as I return to it, be”H – give from the strength I feel Hashem gave me to strengthen all in emunah and bitachon in hard times. I call the new program Chizku, a new source of strength for the community in emunah and bitachon. It involves a 40-minute program once a month, open to the community at no charge. I’ll teach one pasuk of bitachon each month with deep insight: its meaning, a story of a tzadik related to the pasuk, and a nigun that goes to the pasuk.
The program is based on the Sefer Mitzvas Bitachon by Rav Shmuel Hominer, zt”l, with the mesorah from the Maharal. When we say a pasuk of bitachon, it internalizes bitachon in us and enhances our trust in Hashem. These four steps will make our connection to the pasuk stronger, as we continue to repeat it and reflect on its broader meaning. It will also improve our chinuch habanim, as emunah and chinuch are deeply connected, as we’ll explain.
Really looking forward to all that’s involved and thanking Hashem for this idea and the further suggestions from the public. All details to follow, be”H. Stay tuned!
With Love,
Sholom Weingot
Bnainu Director
