Is Seeing Believing?

The "Oilam" says SEEING IS BELIEVING. The Rebbe Shlita says that if you see you don't have to believe! You see with your own two eyes, there is no need for belief. Believing is NOT seeing and still believing.

In addition, the Sfas Emes says the opposite. BELIEVING IS SEEING. If you believe strongly enough you will eventually start SEEING that it is true.

Ladies, Readers of Mevakesh! Emunah in Hashem is NOT time bound mitzva. You, too, must live it and of course pass it to the next generation. The men are [hopefully] in the Beis Medrash. We need YOU to pass the torch to our children and it starts with yourselves. Spend time thinking about and DAVENING for ever increased faith [and you can daven for Elchanan Ben Henna Miriam that he too should believe with all of his heart every second of every day].

Someone told me that Rav Shalom Aroush spends ONE HOUR A DAY davening for Emunah and Simcha. That is why he has so much.

MEN! Learn Shas! Well. Bi'iyun. At least get started. But remember that all of the learning must be in order to get closer to Hashem and not for the great sense of accomplishment we feel upon being successful. This is affectionately called "Li'shma." Start Shelo Lishma but never forget HASHEM!!
