Seek Favor in Hashem’s Eyes – That’s True Hishtadlut
In this brief lecture, the speaker explains a core Torah teaching that all material blessings and lack thereof belong to God. Nothing a person possesses is earned by personal merit; likewise, any deficiency is also under divine control. The individual's responsibility, therefore, is to engage in effort—specifically, to seek work or livelihood—as an expression of trust in God’s providence. Decision‑making and the ultimate outcome rest with God, not with the individual. The talk emphasizes that true hishtadlut (human effort) is performed within the framework of divine sovereignty, encouraging listeners to balance diligent work with confidence that God determines the final result.
