A new episode of the weekly lesson series by the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, has been released on the “Menorah” YouTube channel. This time, Rav Shmuel examines the Torah portion of Ha’azinu and speaks about how unexpectedly a person’s life can sometimes change.
Why do alarming forecasts cause fear and panic? What happens when a person relies too much only on themselves? And how does one preserve faith when circumstances unfold in a way entirely different from what we expected?
Using examples from the Torah – from the Great Flood and the story of Avraham to the Exodus from Egypt and the passing of Moshe Rabbeinu – Rav Shmuel shows how everything can change in a single day. Parshas Ha’azinu becomes an occasion to speak about trust in the Almighty and about why one should not give in to panic even in difficult moments.
This reflection is especially relevant in the days before Yom Kippur – a time when it is important to pause, strengthen one’s faith, and remember that the future is not always determined by our forecasts and calculations.
Watch the new episode on the “Menorah” channel – about the unexpected turns of fate, fear, faith, and trust in the Almighty.
