A new episode in the series of talks by the Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, dedicated to the weekly Torah portion “Toldot,” has been released on the “Menorah” YouTube channel. In his address, Rabbi Shmuel explores the theme of inner fear – the very kind that paralyzes a person more than any external circumstances.
The portion “Toldot” tells of the trials of Isaac, the loss of wells, and the words of the Almighty, “Do not fear,” spoken precisely at the moment when strength seems to be running out. Why does the Torah speak of fear at such a time? How does this lesson from the patriarchs resonate with our own doubts, fear of judgment, and apprehension about starting something new?
Rabbi Kaminezki explains the difference between ordinary physical fear and inner fear – the kind that binds and prevents moving forward. He shares stories from the lives of the Rebbe’s emissaries who feared that “no one would come” and demonstrates how the conviction that “there is none else besides G-d” transforms anxiety into strength and determination.
This episode is addressed to everyone who has ever faced internal barriers, fear of public speaking, fear of failure, or the judgment of others. Rabbi Shmuel clearly and inspiringly shows how trust in the Almighty helps overcome these obstacles and achieve true success.
