Life feels loud, rushed, and uncertain—and our instinct is to take control. But what if that’s exactly what gets in the way?

Through haunting ma’asim of the Brisk Rav and Rav Motl Pogremansky, one question lingers: are we holding on too tightly… or trusting enough? A powerful reminder that a Yid is never lost—and that sometimes, the greatest clarity is found in the midbar.
