The more it’s talked about, the less scary it feels. And the more people take action, the more others follow. This is how culture shifts work, and how B’Sefer Chayim is making a difference. It’s not looking for headlines, it’s looking for impact. And it’s finding it — one person, one rav, one school, one shul at a time. As we approach Rosh Hashanah and ask to be inscribed in the Book of Life, B’Sefer Chayim reminds us that being written in that book is not just about davening — it’s also about preparation. Life insurance won’t prevent tragedy. But it can prevent a second one. It’s not a lack of bitachon; it’s an act of responsibility. And this growing movement is proof that our kehillos are ready to embrace that truth. Quietly and steadily, we are rewriting the script — making achrayus part of our legacy, and ensuring that no one is left behind. 106 פרשת שופטים תשפ”ה AUGUST 20, 2025 פרשת שופטים נ”הדל וויזניץ: סקווירא: ש”מוצ 72 מינוט / 15 מינוט ערב מוצאי 60 מינוט / 18 מינוט ערב מוצאי THE COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO; EXERCISE DISCRETION IN THE SELECTION OF ADVERTISEMENTS; EDIT ADVERTISEMENT ADS; AND THE DURATION OF ADVERTISEMENTS.

AUGUST 27, ‘25 // Questions & Answers from Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt”l’s Thursday Night Lecture Pain and Atonement Q. When a person experiences pain because of material loss, let’s say he lost money or he failed in a certain enterprise, does that pain help to atone for his sins? Spiritual Vitamins Q. What is the fastest-acting spiritual vitamin one can take for an instant spiritual pick-me-up? A. Let me explain to you. Any kind of yissurim is in a certain sense a kapparah. “Yissurim memorkon” (Berachos 5a), any kind of suffering expiates, is a kapparah for sin. But, when it’s accompanied by an awareness that “mei’eis Hashem haysah zos” (Tehillim 118:23), that Hashem is sending it, then it’s a hundred times more effective, and I’ll explain that. There are two effects that yissurim have on people: Suffering makes people more mellow, it makes them more humble, it breaks their arrogance. That’s an achievement in itself; it makes the character better when the man suffers. It’s a general principle: a man who suffered is better than one who always had it good. However, there’s a higher purpose in suffering, the purpose is to make him aware that Hashem is in charge. If as a result of his suffering he cries out to Hashem, “Ana Hashem hoshiah na — help me!” that’s the real achievement of suffering. When a man is on the operating table, he’s not happy. He knows that soon they’ll cut him open, and he’s in danger. That in itself is a benefit; it humbles him. Even though he’s a wealthy man, and proud, he can’t be proud when they’re putting him to sleep on the operating table. But when a man, before he’s put to sleep, thinks: “This is happening because Hashem wants me to know that He’s around. I’m crying out now to Him! Hashem, help me! Save me!” That’s the most important achievement of yissurim. You’re sitting in the dentist’s chair and the dentist says, “Open wide, please,” and he puts in the drill. You think, ahh, it hurts like anything, but you’re not thinking of Hashem; it’s an achievement. But suppose you’re thinking, “Why is He doing this to me? Maybe I opened my mouth other times when I wasn’t supposed to open my mouth, that’s why I’m opening it now for the dentist…” Before the dentist has a chance to insert the drill you say, “Ribbono Shel Olam, chatasi, avisi, pashati l’fanecha, I’m sorry, Hashem. I spoke words that I shouldn’t have spoken. From now on I’m going to guard my tongue, I’ll keep my mouth closed as much as possible, forgive me Hashem.” Also, add a tefillah that the dentist should succeed in doing a good job on you. A. The Gemara says: “Im ro’eh adam sheyitzro misgaber — if a man sees that his yetzer hara is beginning to overpower him” (Berachos 5a), he should do this: he should learn Torah. “Nitzcho,” if it helps, “Mutav,” good. If not, he should do something else. Finally, after nothing helps, “Yazkir lo yom hamaves — he should remind himself of the day of death.” So the day of death is the most effective means of combating the yetzer hara. “Lev chachamim b’beis ha’eivel — the heart of the wise is in the house of mourners” (Koheles 7:4). He doesn’t have to be there, but his heart, his mind is there. And therefore, sometimes it’s necessary to use the most extreme methods. L’chatchila, the Torah doesn’t want you to think of the day of death, because thinking about the day of death has side effects. Sometimes when people think of death they say, “It’s no use learning. Why should I start learning? I won’t be able to finish the masechta. If I die, I’ll take it into the grave with me…” and they forget about Olam Haba. Death, you know, is a big stirah to emunah in Olam Haba, so therefore it’s not necessarily good to think of the day of death. Only when somebody is in an emergency, he wants a quick pick-me-up, so he should go to the cemetery and stand there and look at the graves. It has a very good effect on people; it gives them a recognition of the transitory nature of the things in this world. However, it doesn’t mean it’s the best thing. The best thing is to get a sefer of middos, or a sefer of yiras Shamayim, and get the vitamins that teach you how to live properly without recourse to thinking of morbid things like death.
