Rabbi Elimelech Biderman Offers Spiritual Strength on Divine Ownership and Human Stewardship

By כיכר השבת
Translated & summarized from Kikar HaShabbat by baba
The story · English

Rabbi Elimelech Biderman, a Hasidic spiritual leader, delivered a brief message emphasizing the balance between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. He highlighted the paradox found in the verses stating that "The earth is the Lord's and all its fullness" while also saying "the earth He has given to the children of man." Rabbi Biderman explained this as a reminder that although God owns the world, humans are entrusted with its care and stewardship. This message was shared as a moment of spiritual encouragement, urging people not to forget God’s presence and authority even as they manage worldly affairs. The brief video message was published on August 10, 2026, by Kikar HaShabbat, a prominent ultra-Orthodox news outlet.
