Rabbi Elimelech Biderman says setbacks may be divine rescue

The story · English

In a short weekday strengthening talk, Hasidic speaker Rabbi Elimelech Biderman said that when something does not go as planned, it may seem like Satan is blocking a person, but in truth it can be an angel of God sent to save them mercifully. The remark was presented as part of a brief video clip.

The message reflects a spiritual interpretation of everyday frustrations, framing apparent obstacles not as random harm but as hidden protection. The source does not report a separate event, dispute, or policy announcement, only the rabbi’s inspirational teaching.

The clip was published by Kikar HaShabbat on 24 June 2026 and runs about 1 minute and 31 seconds. The item also points readers to another related video featuring Biderman on the special merits of studying Or HaChaim.
