About the daily Bitachon shiur

A daily bitachon shiur from Rabbi Odom Silverstein gives you a few minutes of chizuk (strengthening) built on trust in Hashem, taken straight from the weekly Parsha (the Torah portion read that week) and the Moadim (the festivals). Bitachon means relying on Hashem, the trust that He runs every detail of your day. The shiurim are free and you can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and JewishPodcasts.fm.

The weekly piece is called Bitachon Weekly, and it runs about 7 minutes. Each one takes a point from that week's Parsha or from the Yom Tov on the calendar and turns it into something you can carry through the week. The classic place this trust is laid out is Chovos HaLevavos, the Shaar HaBitachon (the Gate of Trust) by Rabbeinu Bachya ibn Paquda, and the shiurim speak in that spirit while staying tied to the week you're actually living.

A short shiur you can finish on a commute or over coffee is how trust in Hashem becomes a daily habit. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to pay.

Frequently asked questions

What is a daily bitachon shiur?

A daily bitachon shiur is a short audio lesson that strengthens your trust in Hashem (bitachon). Rabbi Odom Silverstein draws each one from the weekly Parsha and the Moadim, so the chizuk lines up with the time of year you're in. The episodes are free and run a few minutes, made to fit into a normal busy day.

What is bitachon?

Bitachon is trust and reliance on Hashem, the calm that comes from knowing He is running every part of your life. The classic source is Chovos HaLevavos by Rabbeinu Bachya ibn Paquda, in the section called Shaar HaBitachon, the Gate of Trust. A daily bitachon shiur takes that idea and connects it to the week's Parsha.

What is the difference between emunah and bitachon?

Emunah is belief: knowing that Hashem exists and runs the world. Bitachon is the next step, leaning on that belief in real life and trusting Hashem with what happens to you. Emunah is what you know. Bitachon is how you live it when things are uncertain.

How long is the Bitachon Weekly shiur?

Bitachon Weekly runs about 7 minutes. It's a weekly piece of chizuk drawn from that week's Parsha or from the Moadim, the festivals. The length is on purpose, short enough to listen on the way somewhere and still walk away with one clear point about trusting Hashem.

Where can I listen to the bitachon shiurim?

The bitachon shiurim are free and available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and JewishPodcasts.fm. You can follow along week by week as the Parsha cycle and the Moadim come around, or go back and listen to earlier ones whenever you want.

Do I need a background in learning to follow these?

No. The shiurim are made to be clear for anyone, whether you've been learning for years or are starting out. Hebrew terms get explained as they come up, and each shiur stays on one idea. You can begin with this week's Parsha and keep going from there.
