Try To Be a Tam Who Considers Every Compliment as Message Min HaShamayim

Bitachon Weekly | June 25, 2025

Whether you like it or not, Bilam of all people sent loads of Brachos our way! This can also be a Mussar lesson to value all Brachos. My Bitachon Weekly was highly praised by one the #1 famous Roshei Yeshivos in Klal Yisroel. I mentioned this to someone, and he said that I shouldn’t trust this Rosh Yeshiva, since he always praises everyone. I said that I don't like to be a "smarty" who doesn't take compliments seriously. I try to be a Tam who considers every compliment to be a message Min HaShamayim. Chazal say that Hashem gave the Yidden so much Chochma, Bina, De'ah and Sechel in order that we should use it to have Bitachon. You need lots of Sechel to be a Tam and believe positive things, instead of being a critical "smarty" who is deeper and "knows the truth".
