"Who Are You Relying On?" | Rabbi Yisroel Bernath's Weekly Sermon


Listen Later

In this sermon, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath discusses the importance of relying on G-d rather than external sources for salvation and miracles. He shares a story from the shtetl about a couple seeking a blessing from a Rebbe and how their reliance on money instead of G-d hindered their miracle. Rabbi Bernath also explores the teachings of Pirkei Avot (Ethics of Our Fathers) and emphasizes the need for caution when dealing with those in authority. He encourages listeners to seek guidance from mentors and to make decisions based on both intellect and emotion. The conversation concludes with a reminder to focus on the positive and trust in G-d.
