The Power of Zikkui HaRabbim and Spreading Emuna U’bitachon
TRUE STORY
An older girl was in Shiduchim for several years. She wasn't being redd anything, Rachmana Litzlan, and was getting quite nervous. She decided she will get the Zechus of rewriting Bitachon Weekly (which had not been done too well at first), and she retyped the entire Bitachon Weekly with a normal, neat and professional format. She started working on it during Chanukah. So she began, and for the first time she started getting redd Shiduchim. Things started moving, but things were nothing near what she wanted. Yet, she was happy that at least things were moving. She was red 10 Shiduchim until Chodesh Av, and in two days she got a top, top Shidduch.
TRUE STORY
Zikkui HaRabbim is a major Koach, but spreading Emuna and Bitachon is even more Gevaldig. The Rambam said³ that he'd rather teach Emuna more than anything else. A top Yerushalmi Melamed taught the first Parshiyos of Sefer Sh'mos with all the Nissim of Yetzias Mitzrayim and K'riyas Yam Suf for many years. One year, he decided that he needed a change. So instead, he taught Parshas Mishpatim (which is loaded with all kinds of very important Halachos); which he did with lots of Geshmak and Hatzlacha.
The Parshiyos of Sh’mos Protested His Leaving Inyanei Emuna & Bitachon
After a few months, he suddenly collapsed. After much Tefila and Taanis, he had a dream, in when the first Parshiyos of Sefer Sh'mos complained to him for leaving Inyanei Emuna and Bitachon. Although he was very young and a big Tzadik, he was Niftar a short time later. The story was written up several years ago with his picture in Mishpacha Magazine.
PS. I guarantee that there is nothing wrong with Parshas Mishpatim (Chas V'shalom!) But at the same time, a person should know that learning Inyanei Emuna & Bitachon is super special, like the Rambam says openly. Especially in our Dor before Moshiach, it is appropriate to be mainly involved in this area, since this is what Moshiach is all about. Novardokers believed that if you live your life without working hard on Emuna and Bitachon, you could have plenty of Kefira in your system, Chas V'shalom, since you don't realize how much deep-down in your heart you rely only on a Basar V'dam.
