How this Rabbi kept FAITH in PRISON

in the year 1927 the previous La Raben was imprisoned in communist Russia and he was actually given the death sentence miraculously they ended up taking away the death sentence and putting him in Exile they ended up taking away the Exile itself and he had a complete Victory they let him go completely free but it was a strenuous time it was a stressful time they were torturing him well what did he do wrong what did he do that was so bad well he was keeping the flame of Judaism alive in communist Russia and that was highly illegal he had underground yeshivas and torahs and Learning Centers and shs and they wanted information so they could find and dismantle these dismantle the flame of God the flame of Truth The Flame of Torah and he wouldn't allow that to happen very often when a person goes through traumatic experience you slow down afterwards but that wasn't the fre that wasn't rebers there was like this explosion if you will in teachings ofus there was this Renewed Energy in doubling efforts in spreading the flame of Judaism the flame of Torah and spreading light and love of God um it became even more so once he had come to America not too long afterwards where did he get the strength the resilience to remain strong under the oppressive conditions with all the torture and threatening and psychological torture everything how did he remain so strong so he actually shared what kept Him going he said there was one thought that kept me going under these very harsh difficult conditions while in this pres prison cell and while being tortured and while under the threat of getting the death penalty and being exiled from my family and Community there was one thought that kept me going and that was thinking about the bov bov's position and understanding means God's involvement in this world and there's a range of discussion there's a discussion as to what it exent God is involved in our world and how much free choice do we have how much does he leave to human beings and how much is he involved and the bmtu strongly asserted that God is Not Just managing the world from a distance like chess pieces but God is intimately involved in every single micro part of creation that's hash PR this which literally translates as specific supervision God's super vision is detailed is specific God is supervising everything not just mankind not only animal or plant life but even inanimate existence God is involved in everything and the B and the freedb said thinking about this gave him life gave him hope how the reason is because the bmov believed that God's involvement in every micro detail of creation means that every micro detail of creation is relevant not only relevant to God but relevant to the purpose for which God created the world to make this place a home for peace a home for love a home for truth a home for God's sacredness a place where God can feel comfortable every single detail in creation is relevant to this everything which is why in Judaism by the way we're so detail oriented Jewish law is quite detail oriented it's like splitting hairs um Jewish practice is very much involved in behavior and very much involved in the inanimate world and not just the spiritual side of things because God has to rest everywhere and be comfortable in every single part of life and said thinking about this thinking about how God wants to be involved in everything in creation and that how it's all part of his master plan gave him strength to the point that he was not only able to survive being imprison but being imprison at that moment was part of the process of bringing God even to the prisons and even to the isolation with that attitude when he left he came out with even greater passion greater fervor and most importantly greater impact if you're going through a hard time if you're going through tough times think about how God is in the details of your life and think about how being detail oriented in our relationship with God can actually give us even more strength that's my story and I'm sticking to it
