A DOCTOR ASKED REBBE CHAIM OF TZANZ ZY"A
" WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION ? "
" I BUILD BRIDGES. "
" WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION ? "
" I BUILD BRIDGES. "
THE DOCTOR LOOKED AT THE REBBE, WITH A STARTLED LOOK ON HIS FACE.
THE DOCTOR DID NOT KNOW WHAT A CHASIDIC REBBE WAS ALL ABOUT, BUT ONE THING HE KNEW FOR CERTAIN; THE RABBI SITTING IN FRONT OF HIM WAS NOT A CONSTRUCTION WORKER.
ONE OF THE PRIMARY PLACES WHERE A BRIDGE IS NECESSARY IS FOR EMUNAH,
BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE AN EXPERT IN EMUNAH INTELLECTUALLY,
BUT STILL BE WORRIED, CONCERNED, ANXIOUS, AND UPSET.
PEOPLE ASK HIM, " DO YOU NOT KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS FOR THE GOOD ?
WHY ARE YOU SO WORRIED, ?"
THE REBBE ANSWERED THAT EMUNAH IS IN HIS MIND,
BUT IT HAS NOT YET REACHED HIS HEART.
WHEN EMUNAH ENTERS THE HEART, ONE'S LIFE WILL CHANGE ENTIRELY.
HE WILL LIVE WITH HASHEM ALL THE TIME.
HE WILL SINCERELY TRUST IN HASHEM. IT IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE THEN MERE INTELLECTUAL EMUNAH.
