Rabbi Silber's Virtual Drasha on Eikev asks why God promises to conquer Eretz Yisrael "little by little" rather than in one sweeping victory, and why, of all people, it was Moshe, the man of instantaneous miracles, who could not be the one to lead the people in. He teaches that meaningful, holy goals run on a fundamentally different clock: they take time, patience, and endurance, and a long, slow timeline is not proof that something is wrong. He connects this directly to the ongoing war in Eretz Yisrael and the hostages, urging listeners not to let fatigue or a stalled personal goal turn into despair or quiet abandonment.

“The greater the challenge and the greater the adversity, often the longer the timeline — and we can't lose hope, and we can't despair.”
