Rav Shlomo Katz and the chevra of Shirat David learn a piece from Reb Usher that reminds us that the foundation of our existence is emunah—and that the milchemes hamiddos (inner war of character) never clocks out. We learn how to ask not “lama?—why is this happening?” but “lemah?—what is this for?” and how that shift turns panic into tefillah, despair into light, and homes full of worry into homes clothed in warmth.

Topics include:

• Why tzaddikim begin each day certain that Hashem believes in them—even when yesterday was rough.
• The core daily avodah: strengthening ourselves “again and again,” starting anew without getting tired.
• The difference between asking for emunah and simply wishing to find it.
• “Concern vs. worry”: turning da’agah into tefillah—and how a parent’s calm face uplifts the whole home (“Lo tira leveita mi’sheleg”).
• Two wars inside us—Beha’aloscha (reactive sirens) vs. Ki Teitzei (pre-emptive courage)—and why a Jew is called to go out to the fight.
• How yissurim awaken bitul/efesiyut (holy nothingness) that reveals Or HaGanuz—the hidden light of emunah.
• Cooling Amalek vs. a house of warmth: becoming Bnei Emunah, not just a “startup nation.”
• Believing in Geulah means believing in Am Yisrael—and in the light waiting at the end of each circle.
