In today’s Live With the Times, we begin Parshat Vaeschanan with the 1st aliyah and Moshe Rabbeinu’s plea to enter Eretz Yisrael.
Vaeschanan comes from the language of asking Hashem for a free gift. Even tzaddikim, who have many merits, do not come to Hashem demanding payment for their deeds. They come with humility, asking Hashem for mercy, compassion, and an undeserved gift.
But Moshe Rabbeinu is told no.
Today’s theme is that our connection to Hashem is tested not only when Hashem says yes, but also when Hashem says no. Real bitachon means we can keep praying, keep asking, keep coming back to Hashem — and still be at peace with His answer.
The no is not rejection. The no is not abandonment. The no can also be mercy. The deeper avodah is to ask again without demanding, to pray without entitlement, and to trust that Hashem knows what is truly good for us.
We also learn Kitzur Shulchan Aruch on prohibited activities on Shabbos, Shaar HaBitachon on the third and fourth criteria a provider must have to be trusted, and Rav Shalom Arush’s I’m In Your Hands on the supreme virtue of hitbodedut — making daily personal prayer with Hashem a non-negotiable part of life.
