The pasuk says regarding Matan Torah , אתה הראת לדעת כי ה' הוא האלוקים – you have seen with your own eyes that Hashem is the only G-d. אין עוד מלבדו – there is no power other than Him. Rashi there writes, when Hashem gave us the Torah, He opened up all seven Heavens and He also ripped open the ground beneath us and showed everyone that He alone is in charge in this universe. One of the main functions of Matan Torah was to imbue within us the emunah that Hashem is the only power that exists. Every year on Shavuot, we need to strengthen ourselves in this belief. Nobody in this world has any power, whether to give us blessings or to heal us or to give us parnasa . Even the greatest Rabbis have no power on their own. They pray to Hashem and ask Him to help those who come to them. We need to strengthen our belief that even if it seems that a person will never have a child or will never be healed from a sickness, that Hashem can do anything and, with tefila and good deeds, everything can change in an instant. The amount of Heavenly assistance that a person gets depends on the amount of belief that they have that Hashem is the only One who could help. A woman related, recently she misplaced her diamond wedding ring. At that time, there were workmen in her house, and she was suspicious that one of them might have taken it. She called the police down to her house, but there was nothing they could do without proof. She begged the workmen to please give her back her ring and offered them a lot of money if they would, but none of them responded. They all said they had no idea what she was talking about. She tried backtracking her steps, racking her brains to figure out if it could possibly be anywhere else, but to no avail. When all avenues seemed to be blocked, the woman’s young daughter told her not to worry because Hashem knows where it is, and He could help. This little girl’s simple words of emunah, although so obvious, made a big impact on this woman. She said to her daughter, “You are absolutely right!” And together, they started singing a special song on emunah, strengthening their belief that it was all in the hands of Hashem. The woman was so proud of her daughter that she wrote her a note to bring to school and show her morah . The morah read the note out loud in class the next day and everybody praised her. This morah , who lives in a completely different neighborhood, is on a group text with her neighbors and on their texting chat, somebody mentioned that they found a wedding ring and asked if anyone possibly knows someone who lost one. The morah called this woman to tell her about it, so she went to the one who found it and gave the signs of her ring. And sure enough, that was the ring that was found. When this woman focused on Hashem more and channeled her energy towards believing in Him, that is when the wheels of the yeshua began to move. Hashem is the only one with any power. It is one of our life’s goals to believe this one hundred percent, and on Shavuot, there is a special siyata d’Shamaya to help us with it. Chag Same’ach .
