Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode Eighty𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓, 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑺𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝐒𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐒𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐃𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 𝘾𝙀𝙍𝙏𝘼𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙔 ~ 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩!Having Trust means identifying with Hashem’s management of- and control of - who lives and who doesn’t. Does this mean that whoever commits suicide was going to die anyway? After all, since we believe that everything is in Hashem's hands and death is predestined, why can't we choose to take risks and place ourselves in danger? To be sure, this is a huge Trust issue, and clarifying it is of great importance because otherwise Bitachon can be used to justify downright sinful behavior. Yet, once the conversation has been opened, the ideas presented will certainly illuminate related timely issues like Suicide, Doctor Assisted Death and what's referred to today as "End-of-Life" decisions from a Torah-True perspective. This Episode is the Seventh segment of the Fourth Chapter of "The Gate of Trust;" comprising the 81st consecutive video of this ongoing series. Rabbi Mendel Kaplan
