Breathe Easy and Have a Hearty Appetite

Bitachon Weekly | December 10, 2025

It looks like the Torah is catering to people who desire good meat! The Passuk says that if you desire meat, then eat with a heavy appetite! ˃ְשְׁפַנ תַוַּא לָכְבּ( with all the desire of your heart). And: ˃ְלֻבְגּ ביִחְרַי יִכּ “when Hashem will widen your boarder” is exactly what we were told in Mitzrayim, that we’re going to an: הָבָחְרוּ הָבוֹט ץֶרֶא ח ג תומש “wide” relaxed place; the opposite of the Lachatz-pressurized stifling place of Mitzrayim, where you can’t “breathe” and relax, and come-and-go with Menucha.

Hashem wants people to be calm, and indeed the Passuk also says that we’re going: הָלֲחַנַּה לֶאְו הָחוּנְמַּה לֶא יב ט to the Menucha (resting place) and the Nachala (hereditary land). Breathe easy and have a hearty appetite! This comes from Bitachon and Menucha. We are in Hashem’s hands: וֹמִּא יֵלֲע לֻמָגְכּ תהלים קלא ב like a baby in his mother’s arms! A Yid should aim in this direction and enjoy life! Like being stress-free, and enjoying Hashem’s beautiful world and His good food (and Geshmake Gemara!)
