‘A Life With Bitachon’

Bitachon (hebrew- ביטחון) is the realization of the infinite love that Hashem has towards us and that He is constantly taking care of us.  Bitachon is a state of feeling watched, cared for and protected in Hashem’s Anthropomorphic Hand’s. 

The Bitachon Hotline focuses on the method of reaching bitachon by means of internalizing the fact that Hashem, as the All-Powerful and beyond the laws of nature, can improve any situation, And in the merit of putting one’s trust in Hashem and recognizing His complete control over the world, meriting tremendous salvations! 

“Is there only one way to connect to the energy of Bitachon?”

No, The Chovos Halevavos, by the Rabbeinu Bachya, one of the  foremost writers on Jewish philosophy, says that Bitachon is the thought process that will bring you more peace of mind and happiness, and it really depends on a person’s individual personality, nature and level, and therefore each person should choose whichever way works for them, and as R’ Yehuda Mandel says there are no rules or regulations for what thought process will give a person peace of mind; And therefore, whichever thought process that works for each person on their individual level, which gives them peace of mind, is what defines Bitachon for them. 

“What are different methods in developing bitachon?”

Number one. Make a Bracha and eat Hashem’s delicious food and fruits which will awaken your feelings of being loved by Hashem. As you taste and smell and feel the texture in mouth, contemplate how Hashem could have given our nutrients through the means of taking taste-less pills and instead He gave us a so many yummy different foods so that we can enjoy His world of endless giving and chesed. When you eat fruits, think of it as Hashem’s candy. R’ Avigdor Miller  speaks extensively about seeing Hashem’s chesed in fruit, he discusses the chesed in the color of fruit in the following article, Rav Avigdor Miller on A World of Color.

Number two. Utilize every enjoyable experience to feel loved by Hashem. You can elevate and give meaning to any enjoyable experience by connecting it to it’s source- Hashem love and care.  

Number three. Speak about Bitachon and Hashgacha Pratis.  When one recounts the experiences where one felt Hashem’s love, it will awaken one’s Bitachon and feeling of tranquility.

Number four. Read books and Weekly’s on Bitachon. Classics include the Shaar HaBitachon of Chovos Halevavos and Emunah U’Bitachon by the Chazon Ish. A very popular weekly the Bitachon Weekly by R’ Yehuda Mandel, is a great way to infuse oneself with Emunah and Bitachon.

Number five. Listen to to daily chizuk in bitachon. The bitachon hotline , Daily Bitachon by Rabbi David Sutton and the Daily Bitachon with Michael Safdie are all great ways to recharge.

Number six. Take take time to recount the miracles that Hashem has done for Am Yisrael like yeztias mitzraim,  the story of purim and the modern day miracles of the Six-day war , the 12-day war and the current 2026 war with Iran.

Number seven. Internalize the message that Hashem is the Kol Yachol- He can do everything and anything, and therefore He is The Best Address to turn to in any time of need. A great way to internalize this concept is by  listening to Hakol Yachol song featured on the Bitachon Hotline by pressing 0, then 1.
