Start your N B T today


Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Monday, August 24 09: The month of Elul is a great time to show Hashem that we want to be better than the year before. Most people choose one middah (attribute) to work on. Today we start "Nekudah Tova Bakol" (The attribute of the good points in everything). First we will choose to see the good in self, in Hashem and in others. Then as time progresses we will choose to see the good points in everything. T. Y. H.


Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
If you want to commit to a 30 day program of Nekudah Tova Bakol, join our THANK YOU HASHEM group and express your thankfulness and gratitude to Hashem for EVERYTHING!

Being Tested Daily on Emunah

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Sunday, August 23 09: Why is it that our PERSONAL feelings get in the way of Emunah? Because a "lack of Emunah" is the norm, and working on creating a better sense of Emunah takes serious time, commitment and N.T.* energy. Therefore, one must practice seeing the good points in self often, as this leads to less "lack of" and more "Acceptance of Emunah" into our daily lives. THANK YOU HASHEM

(* N.T. = Nekuda Tova = Good points)

Early to Bed helps with Emunah

Going to sleep early in the night eliminates worry and bad thoughts thereby leaving less room for lack of faith to occur. THANK YOU HASHEM

Thank You Hashem for your kindness


Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Wednesday, August 19 09: Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul: Please light a candle today for my grandfather Rebbe Eliezer Zusia ben Yisroel Avraham zatzal. He was a great man who led by example. He treated my grandmother with the greatest levels of love, respect, honor, and understanding. He gave me my first lessons in Emunah. May his memory serve as a beacon of light upon all of us. Thank You Hashem!


Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Hakoras HaTov (Positive Recognition) My grandfather adopted hundreds of orphans, widows and widowers throughout the war torn years. He treated them like his very own children. Upon his death in 1982, he left behind thousands of gems along his path. When he married my grandmother, a tiny light shone through the most darkest days I have ever seen. This light has led me onto the path I am on today. I am grateful to Hashem for bringing my grandfather into my life. I am thankful to my grandfather for teaching me by example what it means to live with Emunah, Bitachon, and B'Simcha! Thank you Hashem

The Benefit Of Doubt


Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Tuesday, August 18 09: Don't be surprised if our daily lessons turn into periodic tests within the ongoing pursuit to have more faith, trust and with joy. The biggest one that is sent almost daily is "Giving the benefit of the doubt" to self, others, and Hashem. It isn't easy, but with a constant awareness, we can become better at giving ourselves, others and Hashem the "benefit of the doubt". Thank You Hashem

See the good, be the good, feel the good... in everything. Practice it and it gets easier over time. The ups and downs will get us there just keep at it. Thank You Hashem!

Emunah in Self first

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha Sunday, August 16 09: An important lesson in "Nekuda Tova" (Likutay Mohran) Just like we have Emunah (faith) in Hashem, we must also have Emunah in ourselves. We have faith that Hashem is listening to every word we say, even if we we havent't behaved so well, Hashem listens to every word. We each have the power to ask for compassion from Hashem.



Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
As it is stated (Psalms 145:18) "Hashem is close to all who call upon Him - to all who call upon Him sincerely" We recite this three times a day. By seeing the good within us and having faith is US. We step forward toward Hashem with Faith. When we have faith, we are strengthened to talk to Him, to get close to Him, and to trust B'simcha

Trust Removes Worry

Emunah Bitachon Besimcha
Thursday, August 13 09: (Aleph-Bet book) Bitachon (Trust) in Hashem saves one from worry. Through silence a person merits trusting in Hashem. By trusting in Hashem a person comes closer to him. Let us practice a few moments of silence today which will bring us to trust Hashem more and this way we may be saved from worrying so much. With faith, trust and joy. Thank you Hashem!
