Believing that Everything is The Will of Hashem

The Way of Emunah | December 31, 2025

Believing that Everything is The Will of Hashem:

The Medrash (Shir Hashirim Rabbah 1:1) states: “Rav Pinchos said in the name of Rav Shmuel bar Abba: Anyone who serves his master properly will go out to freedom. Where do we learn this from? From Yosef. Since he served his master properly, he was set free.”

Sefer Bais Yitzchok quotes Rav Menachem Mendel of Vorka zy”a as explaining that Yosef believed that whatever he did for Potiphar was the will of Hashem. The Medrash is saying that we learn from this that whenever one serves Hashem with complete emunah that whatever occurs is His will, he will merit true freedom.
