New Connection

I’m a 21-year-old girl, still studying, and I wasn’t ever really the type to listen to extra classes or shiurim. But I found myself with lots of extra time, and I started listening to Rabbi Ari Bensoussan’s classes on TorahAnytime. I was so fascinated and amazed that I just couldn’t stop listening — I was literally obsessed.

One day I heard him say passionately, “If you really want to become something, you’ll have to work hard.”

For some reason, that one sentence hit me hard. I started worrying. Had I ever worked on myself in my entire life?! If not, then what’s the point of life? It was time for action. The only problem was, I had no idea what to do. I was new to this, I had no idea where to turn. I knew I had to get in touch with Rabbi Ari but I couldn’t find a valid email address.

I thought to myself, what’s Hashem trying to tell me? I finally want to connect to Hashem, why is He rejecting my efforts? I just couldn’t understand what was going on. Please Hashem, I need to reach him, I’m so lost….
