Hashem is praised as both the Creator of the world, and the One who intervenes in all world events.

The greatness of klal Yisrael lies in our commitment to Hashem and His Torah even in times of hester panim (Hashem's hiddenness).

| In this Torah shiur (class) on Sefer Yirmiyahu, Rabbi Avishai David discusses the Gemara Yuma 69, which juxtaposes the tefillot of Yirmiyahu in this perek, and Daniel, showing the 'amitiut', truthfulness, of their prayers, as opposed to ours. Despite our failings in this area, we must attempt to feel some of the awe of Heaven and the pain of the Shechina when we daven.

| Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller teaches chapter 8, which describes the third vision of Daniel.

| In this Torah shiur (class) on Sefer Yirmiyahu, Rabbi Avishai David explicates chapter 32. This chapter contains contradictory prophesies, on the one hand predictions of the impending destruction of the kingdom of Yehuda, and on the other hand the command to Yirmiyahu to go redeem his relative's field, paying for its full value, with documents and witnesses. Yirmiyahu follows Hashem's command though it seems to contradict reality, and then asks Hashem for an explanation. Hashem explains that though there will be a terrible exile, the Jews will return to Eretz Yizrael and once again property will be bought and sold here. This class includes a vort by Rabbi Soloveitchik comparing Yirmiyahu's dilemma to that of Avraham Avinu before the Akeida, as well as an explanation of Hashem's 13 Attributes of Mercy, which appear in this perek in truncated form.Perek 32: Contradictory ProphesiesDescription | Tanach, Yirmiyahu | Rabbi Avishai David | 2009-06-07 | 54:32 | |

| Rebbetzin Tzipora Heller continues teaching perek 3, and describes the steadfast refusal of Chanania, Mishael, and Azaria to bow to Nebuhadnezar's image. They understood that any kind of submission "dwarfs" Hashem in this world. The resulting miracle opened Nevuchandetzar's eyes to the constant control that Hashem has over the world, and he recognized that the reason Hashem gave him so much power is to make the world aware of the honor due Hashem.Chanania, Mishael, and AzariaDescription | Tanach, Daniel | Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller-Gottlieb | 2009-04-20 | 54:06 | |
| Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller teaches the beginning of perek 3, in which Nevuchanetzar interprets his role in history to be one in which he can use his power against Hashem, and win.

| In this Torah shiur (class) on Tehillim, Rabbi Avishai David analyzes Psalm 22, which refers to the struggles of both David Hamelech and Queen Esther. This perek is a beautiful progression from initial feelings of abandonment and helplessness, which lead to prayer and bitachon, to eventual revelation, salvation, and joyous thanks to Hashem. The final praise is so intense that it begins with personal thanks, and spreads to include all of klal Yisrael (the Jewish people), the malachim (angels), and eventually the entire universe.Perek 22, Part 1: From Abandonment to RevelationDescription | Tanach, Tehillim | Rabbi Avishai David | 2009-03-15 | 52:32 | |
