Today's verse reminds us the importance of putting our entire faith in the hands of God, especially at times when we feel most hopeless and in despair. According to the Biblical commentator Rashi, the proverb is teaching not only to place trust in the Lord, but to put our entire confidence in those earthly representatives of the Creator: rabbis and scholars, from whom we should seek deep understandings of the world. Rashi emphasizes that no dollar should be spared when setting out on this mission, for only the best leaders and teachers can guide our hearts on the true path. By placing your trust in the instructors at Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, you will be certain to embark on fulfillment of King Solomon's deepest teachings.
