Why did Noach spend 120 years building the teivah and work around the clock feeding its animals while so much of his mission unfolded miraculously? Understanding when Hashem requires human effort and when He provides without it reveals the true relationship between hishtadlus and bitachon: our work creates a vessel, while the blessing comes entirely from Hashem. Teachings and stories from the Baal Shem Tov and other tzaddikim show why blessings come through natural channels, where our energy belongs, and how to recognize whether our trust in Hashem has reached beyond our intellect into our hearts.

Rediscover the Torah stories you’ve known since childhood. In this weekly live class, Rabbi Shais Taub uncovers their deeper mystical and spiritual meaning, revealing practical lessons for our relationships, challenges, and everyday lives.
