7/1/2023 0 Comments Bashert by Gale StanleyThe Chovos HaLevavos ( Sha’ar Bitachon 3) explains that Hashem implanted into each species of animal the tools and the aptitude to hunt for a particular food and the appetite for it. That intuition is similar to the intuition that guides us in other areas of life. To make it easier, Hashem has given us an intuition to know who that person is. And Hashem has selected the ideal match for you. Hashem knows better than you do what’s best for you. Hashem knows the future as He knows the past. He may not have the qualities that you think are essential, and she may come with other traits that you don’t think are particularly helpful.Īnd this is the critical point-the point that most people miss, the point that causes so much misery. But, that person might not resemble the image that you have fashioned in your mind. The first step is to recognize that Hashem has carefully chosen the ideal match for you, and He wants you to find him or her. The question is: what is the correct approach when dating? If this is difficult in many situations, it is much more so when it comes to choosing a spouse. One of the greatest challenges in life is finding the balance between bitachon and histadlus-recognizing that HASHEM runs the world, yet actively doing our part.

Boston takes possession of Batman's body, ending up being taken to the Batcave by Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, learning Batman's identity and secret hideout. In the city, Boston finds Batman pursuing Whitey Marsh, also killed by a man with a hook. Deadman follows "The Track Of The Hook" into Brave and the Bold #79 (August-September, 1968, written by Bob Haney and drawn by Neal Adams), hoping that the Gotham Guardian can help him find the Hook. |
