Is it dangerous to believe in our own power?





SimchaMinute
A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

"A Horse and his rider he cast into the sea..." (Az Yashir/Pesukei Dzimra)

Egypt trusted in its horse and in the riders... Therefore they were both "cast into the sea," which is the fate of those who trust in their power and wealth and therefore their power and wealth become their undoing... Thereby Hashem became elevated and men learn that they should put their trust solely in Him. — Praise, My Soul

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
