Let's imagine you have somebody who is a few hundred pounds overweight, morbidly obese, and he goes in to the doctor, and the doctor tries to explain to him a hundred different ways that he has to go on a diet, and it doesn't work. So the doctor makes a plan, he goes to his house,און ער ליידיגט אויס די גאנצע הויז, he takes away all his white flour and all his sugar, and all his fat, and he raids the house, and he puts in only healthy stuff, and a treadmill, and he makes a system for him. And the guy comes in and he says, למה גנבת את אלהי - He tells the doctor "Why did you steal my געטשקעס? Why did you steal my pizza? Why did you steal my sugar? Why did you steal the things that I need in order to exist? So the doctor answers him, and he says the way the Ishbitzer says it, ומה שתמצא את אלהיך - Let's say you're going to find your gods, let's say you're going to beat me, let's say you're going to find all your negative habits, and you're going to get to eat whatever you want, לא יחיה - You're not going to get to live, it's just not going to be good for you. And the doctor says, הכר לך מה עמדי - Come see the way I see things, וקח לך - and take your life back, start living yourself. And that's the וקח לך - the holy Izhbitzer says - that the נשמה is always fighting and he always tells you, he says "What are you looking for? Why are you fighting me? I'm here to give you back yourself" Rabbi Shimon Semp, Rosh Yeshiva Talpios inspires through bringing Jewish spiritual concepts, with Chassidic Torah teachings down to earth.

And Yaakov Avinu asked the shepherds: Why aren’t you taking water? Didn’t he see that there’s a huge stone on top of the well, and they couldn't get to the water? Said one of the holy Gere Rebbes: The fact that it seems impossible to you, is n...

The Sefer תשועת חן brings from R’ Falek, that Yitzchak Avinu told Eisav: וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר תָּרִיד - When you add תרי”ד instead of תרי”ג, and you make that people should have one more extra chumrah then they need to, וּפָרַקְתָּ עֻלּוֹ מֵעַל צַוָּארֶ...

We tend to think of יראת שמים as being afraid of some sort of divine punishment. And there's a story of a chusid who came back from Kubryn, and all the chassidim gathered around, and they desperately wanted to hear what he’s bringing back from the...

I would think that angels could just fly up to the heavens and back down, so why do they need a ladder? There’s a quote that says “The elevator to success is broken, please use the stairs.” We can’t fly like angels, but when we realize that the...

And so many times we thought that we’re missing the things that we need. You don’t have money, the people in your life aren’t doing what you want them to do, and situations don't work out. And we yell to Hashem לָמָּה גָנַבְתָּ אֶת אֱלֹהָי just like ...

Yaakov Avinu has one of the most spiritually enlightening moments that the Torah describes: Angels going up and down, and having Hashem revealing himself to him. And the Baal Shem Tov said: You know what got him to that place? וַיֵּצֵא יַעֲקֹב מִ...
