The Let G-d Theory: Purim & Bitachon
Join me as I discuss the connection between Purim and Bitachon- trust in G-d.
The Nesivos Shalom explains that Purim is not just a historical account of what happened to the Jewish people when we avoided near annihilation in ancient Persia; it is a primer in how to effect these types of yeshuos- salvations. The key is bitachon- trust in G-d.
What is bitachon? How does it work? What are the spiritual and material benefits of trusting in G-d? How can we achieve personal and national salvation through bitachon? Join me as I speak about this and more.
