Living With Emunah (Part 314) - Exactly Where We are Meant to Be

Description

In this episode of “Living With Emunah,” Rabbi Efrem Goldberg emphasizes the importance of integrating faith into daily life, not just as an abstract concept but as a lived experience. He begins by thanking the sponsors and reflecting on the power of personal stories and experiences shared through emails he received, which illustrate the practice of Emunah, or faith, in real-life situations. Rabbi Goldberg discusses how, on Tisha B’Av, we reflect on the absence of the Temple and how its destruction has led to a world filled with doubt, uncertainty, and moral chaos. He contrasts this with the deep faith and belief that everything happens for a reason, as demonstrated by the story of Sapir Keinan, a woman who survived being held hostage by terrorists during the October 7th attacks. Despite the horrific circumstances, she maintained her faith, believing that she was not “stuck” but placed in that situation by Hashem for a purpose.
