WHY challenges appear when you are coming closer to G-d (start keeping Shabbat, kosher, prayer, and mitzvot). Rabbi Israel Yakobov explains: this does not mean “Teshuva” (spiritual return) was a mistake. It may mean the healing has begun. Just like bitter medicine heals the body, hardship can cleanse the soul. Hashem gives only what a person can handle. The key is patience: donโt run back because the beginning feels hard.
When pain happens to me, I strengthen my emunah. When someone else is suffering, I support them and help.
