We study together Mishlei perek 14 passuk 26, that speaks of the idea that when we trust in Hashem we are guaranteed to be protected, and this trust also has a profound effect on one's children, as well.

What is the idea of the 'wind' or 'spirit' that Hashem placed in Betzalel that inspired him to wisdom so that he could design the Mishkan-Tabernacle? How does this 'wind' parallel the wind that was present at the very moment of Creation? How does this wind animate and propel forward the creation of the world, and the parallel creation of the Mishkan? How does this power serve to move forward the Moshiach process as it prepares the way for the building of the Beis Hamikdash? How does it ultimately bring us 'back from the dead' and remind us of our true spiritual purpose?

We continue our study together of the passuk in Mishlei (proverbs) perek 3 passuk 5. This is the classic verse brought at the beginning of the section on Bitachon of the Alter of Novardok in Madreigas Ha'adam. Shlomo Hamelech stresses the importance of completely depending on Hashem, and not making the mistake of assuming that our past experiences and successes are the map to use for our future success.

Why does Hashem tell Moshe to 'descend' when the Jewish people sin with the creation and worship of the Golden Calf? Why does Moshe think that there can be no forgiveness for them? What is behind Hashem's statement to Moshe that He foresaw that the Jewish people would receive the Torah and that they would also sin with the Golden Calf? Is the reference to the Jewish people as a 'stiff necked' nation a positive description or a negative one? How can we use our stubbornness for good? How can we 'force' ourselves out of behavior that is spiritually counterproductive?

What is the 'davar' - thing or word - that is the foundation of the inauguration of Aharon and his children as Kohanim-priests? How does this relate to the idea of 'returning' to Hashem? How does one atone for one's sins without any sacrifices? What is the concept of 'raising the dagger' in the story of Yehoshua and the conquest of the city of Ay? How does Mordechai have power over Haman, the offspring of Amalek? Why is it that after Mordechai is placed upon a horse and paraded around in the King's clothes - which indicates he is rising above Haman - why does he return to the king's gate in his sackcloth and ashes, and continue his fasting and prayer?

What is meant when we say that Hashem speaks according to 'our power' and not 'His own?' How can we create a Mishkan-Tabernacle to contain Hashem's presence if He fills the entire universe? What is the idea that Hashem 'dwells on high' and also 'resides in the shadow' of the Mishkan? What is the idea behind the fact that Hashem 'sees but is not seen?' How does Hashem make space for us, and how do we 'make space' for Him?

We study together the pesukim in Tzefania perek 3 passuk 1-2, which speak of the Jewish people's special relationship with Hashem and how it can easily be broken if we are not connected to trust in Him. This is especially important as we live in the 'end of days' or the period immediately before the era of Moshiach.

What is the sobering message of the midrash in regards to the rich person giving to the poor person? Why does the Torah place such a great emphasis on the prohibition of charging interest when giving a loan? What is the idea of the different creations of Hashem that 'lend' to each other - the day and night; the moon and stars; Wisdom and Intuition; Torah and Mitzvos? Why do they seem able to 'lend' to each other and humbly ask for payment, while humans have a hard time with this? What is the concept of the natural balance of power in nature and how do we embrace that ourselves?
