Amid growing discourse about President Donald Trump’s role in developments affecting Klal Yisroel, Rabbi Moshe Landa shlit”a, Ga�avad of Yampola, delivered a powerful Shalosh Seudos drasha this past Shabbos, presenting a Torah perspective on recognizing Heaven�s shluchim.

Speaking before a packed crowd at his Lee Avenue beis medrash, the Ga�avad expressed concern over dismissive rhetoric regarding Trump’s contributions to the Jewish community.

�We have been zocheh to see open hashgacha pratis in our days, orchestrated through the hands of a sitting world leader,� the Ga�avad said. �Indeed, we must acknowledge the chessed he has performed on behalf of Klal Yisroel.�

The Ga�avad made specific mention of Rabbi Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin�s miraculous release from prison.

�When the geulah for a yid comes in a way that defies all logic, it is clear that this is orchestrated min haShamayim,� he said. �Pidyon shvuyim is among the greatest mitzvos, and here we saw how HaKadosh Baruch Hu arranged the redemption of a fellow Jew through the direct actions of the president.�

Turning to more current events, Rabbi Landa referenced the recent release of Jewish hostages from Gaza, noting the former president�s diplomatic efforts.

�We see again the Hashgacha Elyona, where those held captive were granted yeshuah through political intervention. As Chazal teach us, �Yavo nes min hasmol oy min hayamin��salvation comes from wherever Hashem wills it. We must recognize that even natural diplomatic channels are merely tools in the hands of the Ribbono Shel Olam.�

In a deeply moving moment, the Ga�avad noted the experience of one such hostage, Agam Berger, who maintained tremendous emunah throughout her captivity.

�She clung to her siddur, davening constantly, and even requested that Shabbos not be desecrated for her release�a true Kiddush Hashem. And ultimately, her salvation came through the intervention of the Trump administration, spreading the Sheim Hashem before the entire world.�

Rabbi Landa quoted the Ramban, who teaches how Hashem�s involvement in world affairs is often concealed within the teva, yet it remains no less miraculous. �Whether it was the geulah from Mitzrayim or the countless yeshuos Klal Yisroel has merited throughout history, the geulah always unfolds through a series of natural events, with the Yad Hashem hidden within.�

Addressing contemporary political developments, the Ga�avad pointed to Trump�s recent narrow escapes from assassination as further evidence of Hashgacha Pratis. �We all saw the yad Hashem in front of our eyes. He was saved by millimeters�is this not a remez that he was preserved for a divine purpose?�

Concluding his shmuess, the Ga�avad invoked the words of the Rambam, stressing the need to recognize Hashem�s guidance in world events.

�Many mistakenly believe that power lies in the hands of flesh and blood,� he said. �But we must remember the ikkar ha�emunah��Ein oid milvado��there is nothing but Hashem. He orchestrates history through His chosen emissaries, guiding Klal Yisroel toward geulah through both revealed and hidden means.�
