Rabbi Biderman: Trust in God Means No Worry, No Cheating, No Regret

Religious
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

In a brief daily inspiration segment, the Hasidic speaker Rabbi Elimelech Biderman said that a Jew who truly believes in God does not need to worry about livelihood, because God provides sustenance and support.

According to Biderman, that same faith also keeps a person from lying or stealing, since he trusts that his needs are already in God’s hands. He added that such a person does not look back with regret over mistakes he has made.

The clip was published by Kikar HaShabbat as part of a short motivational message, and it was presented as a one-minute “daily strengthening” video. The article was dated June 21, 2026, and directed readers to watch Biderman’s remarks.
