What is bitachon — trust in Hashem — according to Chassidus?
Bitachon, or trust in Hashem, is presented as a fundamental aspect of a Jew's life, essential for overcoming anxieties and discouragement [1], [4]. It is linked to the concept of Divine Providence, where Hashem, as the Essence of Good, directs the world and provides for every Jew [3], [5]. Strengthening one's bitachon is key to achieving peace of mind [3].
