Not a large or lavish one, just \u201ca little balm and a little honey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why such a modest offering? And why was it necessary at all? Let\u2019s explore this moment through the lens of classical and Chassidic commentaries, and see how it reveals the eternal balance between <strong>bitachon<\/strong> (trust in G-d) and <strong>hishtadlus<\/strong> (human effort).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classical Commentaries &#8211; Respect and Sincerity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Torah commentators offer a range of explanations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chizkuni<\/strong> notes that Jacob chose items unique to Canaan, goods that could not be found in Egypt. The gift was not impressive because of its size, but because of its rarity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Malbim<\/strong> explains that the gift was a sign of innocence. One who feels guilty often tries to buy favor with a large offering; Jacob instructed the opposite, a modest gift that reflected honesty, not manipulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rashi<\/strong> teaches that \u201c\u05de\u05d6\u05de\u05e8\u05ea \u05d4\u05d0\u05e8\u05e5\u201d (mizmeret ha\u2019aretz) means \u201cthe song of the land\u201d\u2014the produce for which the land is praised. Jacob wanted his sons to bring something that represented the best of their homeland.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sforno<\/strong> writes that since \u201cthe man\u201d (Joseph) was wealthy and powerful, quantity would mean nothing; only quality would matter. The small gift, he says, would also serve as a test: if the man received it kindly, the brothers could hope for goodwill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rav Adin Steinsaltz<\/strong> adds that even a small, sincere gift can soften the heart of a ruler. It was a gesture of respect, humility, and hope\u2014universal human values.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Up to this point, it seems Jacob\u2019s advice was practical and diplomatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Netivot Shalom &#8211; Bitachon and Hishtadlus in Harmony<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Netivot Shalom reads Jacob\u2019s words, \u201cIf it must be so, do this\u201d (\u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05db\u05b5\u05bc\u05df \u05d0\u05e4\u05d5\u05d0 \u05d6\u05d0\u05ea \u05e2\u05e9\u05d5), as a profound statement about <strong>hishtadlus<\/strong> and <strong>bitachon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob realized that the situation required human effort. His sons had to return to Egypt. There was no other choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But his response shows perfect spiritual balance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIf Heaven has shown us that some action is required, let us do what must be done, no more, no less.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, he told them to bring a little balm and a little honey. Just enough effort to fulfill their part, without overreliance on human power. Jacob\u2019s deep bitachon allowed him to act with measured hishtadlus<strong>.<\/strong> He knew that true success comes not from the gift itself, but from Hashem\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The modest offering became a symbol of that balance: do what you can, but trust completely that the outcome is in G-d\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rabbi Menachem of Lubavitch &#8211; Natural and Supernatural Effort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch emphasizes that a person must act on <strong>two levels<\/strong>: the natural level, striving in the ways of nature, and the supernatural level, trusting in G-d. Striving (<strong>hishtadlus<\/strong>) is for us, limited creatures, while trust (<strong>bitachon<\/strong>) is in what is above the natural order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are essential: a person cannot rely solely on miracles but must also do what is within their power. For example, someone who is ill must go to doctors while simultaneously having strong trust that G-d will bring healing. This teaching beautifully illustrates the balance Jacob demonstrated with his modest gift: act within your human capacity, and leave the ultimate outcome to G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Noam Elimelech &#8211; The Manna as a Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Noam Elimelech sees a similar idea in the story of the manna:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBehold, I will rain down bread from the heavens for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day\u2019s portion each day.\u201d (Exodus 16:4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The manna represents pure <strong>bitachon<\/strong>\u2014bread literally falling from heaven. Yet the people were still commanded to gather it\u2014a minimal act of <strong>hishtadlus<\/strong>. G-d could have fed them without effort, but He wanted to teach that trust does not mean passivity. Even when everything comes from Heaven, we must still move our hands\u2014to act, to gather, to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Judaism&#8217;s Ever-Present Balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jewish thought constantly returns to this delicate tension:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Emunah<\/strong> says: \u201cI know that G-d hears me.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bitachon<\/strong> says: \u201cI know that whatever G-d decides is for my ultimate good.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hishtadlus<\/strong> says: \u201cI must still do my part.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Yisrael Salanter expressed it perfectly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHave bitachon as if there is no hishtadlus, and do hishtadlus as if there is no bitachon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Rabbi Jonathan Sacks z\u201dl framed it in another way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cJudaism believes in the principle <em>ein somchin al hanes<\/em>; we are not permitted to rely on miracles. G-d expects us to take responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Talmud (Megillah 6b) puts it simply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIf one says: \u2018I have not labored but I have succeeded,\u2019 do not believe him. If one says: \u2018I have labored and found success,\u2019 believe him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Effort does not guarantee success, but it is required as part of our partnership with G-d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applying This to our Lives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob operated on a lofty spiritual level. For him, a small gift was enough. His connection with Hashem was so strong that even a minimal act of effort could serve as his <strong>hishtadlus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most of us, we must invest more effort: applying for the job, preparing for the meeting, studying for the exam, nurturing the relationship. Yet even as we act, we must remember that our success is not our own making\u2014it is a gift from Above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Sara Eiseman writes beautifully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cHishtadlus doesn\u2019t mean we control the outcome. It means we\u2019re doing what Hashem wants us to do, knowing that only He determines what will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Our task is to build the vessel through our actions\u2014and then to trust that Hashem will fill it with blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Small Gift, A Great Lesson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob\u2019s little parcel of honey and balm is not just an ancient gesture of diplomacy. It is a timeless lesson in spiritual balance. Too little <strong>hishtadlus<\/strong> becomes laziness. Too little <strong>bitachon<\/strong> becomes arrogance. Between them lies the path of Israel\u2014a life of action rooted in faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cA little balm, a little honey.\u201d<br>Just enough to act. And enough space left for G-d to bless.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By Angelique Sijbolts<\/strong><br><strong>With thanks to Rabbi Moshe Bernstein for the feedback<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/search?q=Hishtadlus&amp;tab=sheet&amp;tvar=1&amp;tsort=relevance&amp;stopics_enFilters=Hishtadlus&amp;svar=1&amp;ssort=relevance\">Sefaria<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Copyright, all rights reserved.
