What does it really mean to trust Hashem completely?

In “The Big Letter Tav in Tamim” – Parashat Shoftim, Sharone Lankry explores one of the most powerful commandments in the Torah:

“Tamim Tihyeh Im Hashem Elokecha” — Be wholehearted with Hashem your God.

Why does the Torah place this command immediately after warning us against fortune-tellers, diviners, astrology, magic, and attempts to predict the future? Because Judaism asks us to live with something far deeper: complete trust in Hashem.

This class uncovers the deeper meaning behind the enlarged letter Tav in the word Tamim, and how it represents remaining connected to Hashem even when He feels completely hidden.

Through Avraham Avinu, Yaakov Avinu, Naaseh V’Nishma, Shema Yisrael, and powerful teachings from Chazal, we discover what true Emunah looks like: accepting both the revealed good and the difficult moments with the same trust that everything comes from one Source.

The goal is not to understand every detail of the future. The goal is to walk with Hashem even when we do not understand.

As Elul begins and we enter the season of Teshuvah, this message becomes essential. Before analyzing the past year, before asking why certain things happened, we first reset our mindset:

Hashem is good. Everything He does is ultimately for our good. And I choose to trust Him.

True Tamimut means no fortune-telling, no obsession with what will happen next, no trying to control every outcome—just sincere faith, surrender, and confidence that Hashem is guiding us exactly where we need to go.
