WHAT HAPPENS IN PARADISE

Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode 120 , - ~ ! Having already (albeit briefly) addressed the idea of Consequences and Remuneration in "This World," we shift our focus onto the concept of Punishment and Reward in the Afterlife, or Olam Haba (the "Next World"). In sharp contrast to the consequences described in the "Here and Now" when it comes to Gan Eden (Paradise, or Heaven) surprisingly enough the Torah doesn’t even mention it once! That's not an exaggeration, there literally isn't a single explicit reference in the entire Chumash of spiritual reward in the afterlife. Not even once! This fact, obviously begs the obvious question: Why the deafening silence on Heaven? In this Episode, Rabbainu Bachaya will first present us with the first of seven possible reasons for this glaring omission. Although we will not be directly addressing the actual subject of Bitachon, this issue requires full clarification before we are able to move on and properly discuss the next incredibly important Trust dimension. The forty-seventh study segment of the Fourth Chapter of "Shaar HaBitachon" comprises the 120th consecutive video about learning how to Build Trust in G-d to Conquer Anxiety. Forever!
