Sometimes you see that things have been taken out of your hands and are following a supernatural order.
At this point, let go of the steering wheel. Just do your best at what you have to do

Relax. Trust Him. He runs an entire universe.
I must say, after all I’ve been through (and I’ve have been through a lot!), the person I feel the most love toward has got to be the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Thank you everyone at Chabad.org for sharing his wisdom with the world. Reply
So beautiful!
I think the trees in the photo represent the tangible world of Asiyah (which is Arabic means healing! Because the tree-nature possesses powers to help), the ocean represents the slightly distanced world of Yatzira, the orange shade in the sky hints to Beriya, where creation starts it is yet very bright for previous source can be recognised. And finally the wonder-triggering purple of the sky points to Atzilut, for it is beyond grasp…
Thank you Rabbi Freeman for your wise words always. G-d’s blessing be upon all who study his wisdom, now and forever.

I am just curious for I have inquired about the current whereabouts of the holy Ark from my jewish acquaintances. One of them told me that it may be obtained in Area 51 and that they are prepared to use its supernatural powers to defend a possible attack by another species.
Is there a Rabbi on this platform that may tell me if perhaps this extraordinary phenomenon is hinted to in the Prophets’ words? As I have also heard that each legend of the Talmud must have been hinted in the written scroll-tradition which was received at Mt. Sinai by the revelation involving Moses the master prophet. Can someone verify?
Thank you a lot.

I will start off by saying shalom.
But I will also state that I fail to understand the daily dose today.
If we were to assume that the holocaust DID in fact happen, then how may we be confident moving forward that “letting go of the wheel” will bring us to a good life?

If we’re going to run our lives with the constant sense that another Holocaust is lurking behind every bush, it’s not going to be a happy life.
So we have a choice: Give up on life (G‑d forbid) or continue with faith that G‑d is good, life is good, and there is just some big outlier stuff that’s way beyond our puny minds.

Oh.
Well, the latter does sound like the more appealing option, I guess… Definitely a better idea.
Thanks. And Shalom, at that.

Glorious advise, Dear Rabbi, but how do you fine G-d’s Peace, in a world full of brutality, horrific evil,an unimaginable pain of the human soul, . I am aware of the beautiful light that shatters the darkness,the beautiful people making an amazing difference, in our world, May G-d’s Peace,an Blessings,be with each an everyone of you.
However the innocence of precious children’s cries go unheard, still, the atrocities still continue, Sometimes I wonder if the darkness is actually stronger than the light, because the darkness extinguished the light,
It’s all so overwhelming, .
G-d is our hope, our strength,G-d ,is our answer, I understand,it just gets so sad, sometimes.
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on chabad.org.
May G-d’s Peace an Blessings, be with you.

It can be compared to a beautiful watermelon, sitting in the sun…
The analogue is self-understood…
That has always been my answer and it always will be because I feel it is the best one yet.

Yes I too use that answer in discussions with my friends on the topic. They always walk away so enlightened! I wish more people would understand. Reply
best The word best is no longer as useful as optimum. Too many people are doing their best and getting sick. Of course lots of people do not do their best at all. So the best word is optimum. Do as much as you can and call it a day. Doing less than your optimum is just lazy. Reply
Get Out Of The Way To Rise Above Your Self! After countless atttempts to escape your 'Egypt' - a slave to your stubborn 'self - gratification, negativity to others, etc., you realize only G_d can help you rise to the next level of being united as one soul that He has prepared as the goal for humanity. I would understand the Rebbi's wisdom might be perceived as our toil in spiritual progress. Reply
Thank you for Rebbi's comment

Very True - Makes Sense
I have been working at the same job for the past five years and during lunch I go to a local sandwich shop and put on Tefillin with men who did not get a chance to do the mitzvah in the morning.
I have been attempting to change jobs for a higher salary but no matter my attempts nothing else seems to work out. It seems G-D wants me to complete my mission and have full faith and trust in him.
Your daily dose makes 100% sense.

Heaven's way or consteillation's way There is a seond part to my comment. When we have faith in G-d and follow His commandments then we are subject to His Will. When we turn to authorities, other nations, and to idols, then we are subject to the capricious constellations, and the "random" chance of the material universe. We are then subject to their will, and again slaves in Egypt. It sounds "funny" that when we carry the yoke of Torah we are free, and when we fight against Heaven we are slaves; but that is the way things work. However, in the end Elokim is Havayah, and all still one! Reply
Puppets "No blade of grass grows without an angel telling it 'Grow!' " - every event and live being has it's spiritual counterpart directing it. "There is none else besides Him" -There is no other force that can counteract G_d's will. Every detail has been meticulously arranged to attain the goal of Creation. Reply
getting out of G-d's way this IS precious and i love it also!! thinking and living this helps me to handle unexpected adverse & situations, as well as unexpected gifts & blessings...and ACCEPT them, rather than fight or resist them, or take credit. not easy most times! at least, this is how i feel.

and what does this really mean, practically

Precious!

G-d's way
With all due respect my Rabbi and friend, there is no "our way", or "G-d's" way, for G-d is one, and nothing is separate from Him. When we think things are not going our way, this is folly, and illusion, or there is only one way, our way!
Thank G-d for this!

Again.... Rabbi, tonite am reading just one more of your wisdom, the pieces are slowly appearing, but still not making sense .... however, I will follow and just wait, to see what happens. Thank you for your wisdom. Reply
G_d devised the Master Plan for His Creation.
He created a nature that is the opposite of His.
He established a schedule of milestones for us to participate with Him to reform our nature.
We must do our best to reach His goal for us.
Ultimately His destiny for us will be realized - faster if we cooperate, otherweise in the time He prescribed, through more difficult circumstances!
