Je fais des mitsvot… pourquoi Hachem ne m'exauce pas ? | #QuestionAuRav - Rav Eitan Galam
Tefila Emouna
Hachem n'est pas un distributeur automatique. Faire une mitzvah n'est pas un échange de pièces contre des récompenses. C'est un cheminement personnel. Apprendre à grandir à travers les épreuves, c'est cela la véritable essence de la vie. #Mitzvah #Spiritualite #DeveloppementPersonnel #Sagesse

So, the sages say that the reward for a mitzvah is the mitzvah itself. >> It’s a magnificent question because, one way or another, when we hold Q&A nights with the Rabbi, it always comes up, and it’s often asked by a girl. So why is it so interesting? Because fundamentally, it assumes that Hashem is a candy machine. What are candy machines ? You put coins in the top, and you get candy out the bottom.

So, the sages say that the reward for a mitzvah is the mitzvah itself. >> It’s a magnificent question because, one way or another, when we hold Q&A nights with the Rabbi, it always comes up, and it’s often asked by a girl.

What are candy machines ? You put coins in the top, and you get candy out the bottom. We think Hashem is the same thing. We have to put mitzvot in, and when we put mitzvot in, what do we get?
The candies of life, meaning exactly what we want. So what do we think? That if I do what needs to be done, I should receive everything I want . And if I don’t get everything I want, then it must be my fault because I didn't pay enough in mitzvot.
My friends , that is a completely false understanding of our relationship with the Almighty. Life is complex. What is good for us is complex. We don’t always know what is good for us.
And a person must always reflect; they must ask themselves the question: what should I do? How can I live better? That is the greatest reward one can have. The sages say that the reward for a mitzvah is the mitzvah itself.
So if things aren't moving the way I want, then surely, when I see something is blocked, I should reflect: what can I learn from this? How can I grow from this? But that doesn't mean you are doing something wrong. It doesn't mean Hashem wants to punish you.
It doesn't mean Hashem is against you. It doesn't mean Hashem wants you to do this or do that. Hashem brings you into this situation because in that situation, you will be able to grow, to ask yourself the right questions, and to reach where you are meant to be. And that is how we should relate to challenges in general, and specifically when things get stuck.
