Show Notes

Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode Fifty-Eight , ~ ! Amongst the Foundational Principles we must internalize to successfully nurture real Bitachon, is the critical concept of Trust Exclusivity. In this Episode we will continue to explore importance and meaning of this specific principle. Having made the case that Diversifying our Trust diminishes our relationship with Hashem, Rabbeinu Bachayar now concludes with a very different rational: Placing Trust in Multiple Providers will result in failure. Rather than bringing an added measure of security and success, it will typically backfire and weaken the outcome. The bottom line is that having Bitachon necessarily means placing our exclusive trust in G-d. regardless of how intuitively appealing and prudent it may seem to diversify our Trust investments, to including others in that circle may well result in Hashem choosing to abandon us to them! To be sure, the idea that "Big Tent Trust" can undermine and even ruins aspirations isn't new. In fact, a look at the precise language of employed by the great Prophet Jeremiah spells it out quite clearly. Rabbi Mendel Kaplan
