Why Hashem Feels Distant and How To Get Closer - Rabbi Yoni Fischer

Description

Some days blaze with light. Some days feel heavy, silent, and far. In this Elul shiur, Rabbi Yoni Fischer takes a live wire from Likutei Moharan (as taught by R’ Yaakov Meir Shechter) and puts it straight into the heart: why does Hashem sometimes step back—precisely when we’re reaching? Because a Father who wants you to walk won’t hold you forever. Rabbi Fischer maps the arc from dependence to independence to true interdependence with Hashem; unpacks the child-learning-to-walk mashal; and gives a fearless mirror: your bond with Hashem often looks like your bond with your father, authority, and friends. This is not theory. It’s practice—bechira when it’s hard, effort when you’d rather float, humility that isn’t erasing the self but refining it so you can bring a real “I” into deveikus. If you’ve ever asked “What is Hashem doing with this distance?” this is the answer that builds you. Check out all our socials on rabbiyonifischer.com
