אתר ישיבה / yeshiva.coWhy does G-d test us with such difficult challenges?
During the course of our lives, we all encounter many different situations, some of which are very difficult and create great hardships. We strive to understand what could be their reasons, but generally without success.
  • How We See Halacha
  • 34. The Jewish People's Extensive Suffering
    When the nation of Israel finally experiences complete redemption, the purpose of their long and difficult exile will become evident. It will be made clear that the Jewish people's suffering was not do to their inferiority, but to their preeminence.
  • 33. God's Covenants with the Jewish People
    If any other nation had gone through what the Jewish people did, they would have assimilated and disappeared. What element is it that keeps the Jewish people going under even trying circumstances? Answer: the covenant which God made with Israel.
  • 32. Israel's Plight in the Exile
    The difference between Israel's faith and that of other nations is like the difference between an actual person and a statue. Nations have sought to imitate the faith of Israel yet have been unable to achieve any more than a superficial resemblance.
  • 31. Regarding the Holy Temple in Jerusalem
    The Sages liken the Holy Temple to the heart: just as the heart is the center of all of the bodily organs, the center of life from which all of the life-forces flow to the rest of the body, so the Temple is the spiritual heart of the entire nation.
  • 30. The Preeminence of the Holy Land (Continued)
    Just as the nation of Israel is God's Chosen People, so too the land of Israel is God's Chosen land. This land was designated as an inheritance for the Jewish people since the time when God established the respective boarders of the world's nations.
  • 29. “You have shamed me, King of Khazar”
    You have shamed me, King of Khazar. What can I say? Our recitations of such prayers as “Bow down to the Mount of His holiness” are like the warble of a parrot. Israel's presence in the exile is but a weakness and a disgrace that must be put to an end.
  • 28. Expression of the Land's Preeminence
    The Rabbi explained to the King that the preeminence of the land of Israel is only manifest when the appropriate nation - the people of Israel - resides thereupon and behaves in the proper manner. Only then is the superior nature of the land evinced.
  • Love Your Neighbor as Yourself – Unity and Uniqueness
    We all possess something in common with Adam. Adam contained within himself all of his offspring. Still, he was created as an individual and the world was created for him alone. Exclusiveness and unity find expression in each of his descendants.
  • 27. The Preeminence of the Land of Israel
    The relationship is reciprocal. The special quality of the land of Israel cannot be manifest without the Jewish people settled thereupon. Similarly, the people of Israel are unable to express their great qualities unless settled in their land.
