B"HBaruch Cohen, Esq is a shark civil trial litigator in LA, who experienced a personal 9/11 when his daughter Hindy was diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Six months prior, Baruch had become strangely obsessed with learning the Gate of Trust, and plumbing its depths.  The Gate of Trust proved to be the lifeline that saved him from plummeting into complete despair.Order Baruch's book, Grieving & Healing Through the Prism of Torah; a Bereaved Parent's Spiritual Journey Beyond Pain & Grief, written in loving memory of his daughter Hindy.  These essays were "conceived from pain, anguish and loss, and plumb the depths of Chazal for comfort and understanding."As mentioned on the Podcast, here are Baruch's Top-10 Tallis-bag Trust Tips, as excerpted from Rabbi Shaya Cohen's The Bitachon Reader: G-d is in complete control of everything that happens to me - even things that seem insignificant to me. Nothing in my life can change for better or worse unless G-d wants it. G-d is the only source of goodness and blessing and the only One who can affect my livelihood. I know I must do my Hishtadlus (effort), but regardless of my efforts, only G-d accomplishes. G-d has been good and compassionate to me constantly, even though I may not have deserved it. I know G-d is consistent. He has helped me in the past when I did not deserve it, so He will certainly continue to help me now. G-d has been good and compassionate to me throughout my life, even in the face of difficulty and adversity. I am completely confident that I can surrender my fate to G-d and He will care for me. G-d orchestrates my life’s situations during difficult times just as He does during good times - it is always for my benefit. I know that G-d is like the most loving father - He cares about me, He is concerned about me and my family and He is involved in every detail of our lives.Contact Baruch Cohen at baruchcohen@baruchcohenesq.com.Listen to the latest Gate of Trust Podcast episode at gateoftrust.org/podcast
