We continue to study together perek 112 in Tehillim, passuk 7 and cap it off with a discussion from the Ramban on the difference between Emunah - which is belief or faith, as opposed to Bitachon, which is a sense of full confidence in Hashem that all will be well.

Why do the sons of Aharon, Elazar and Itamar, merit to be part of a special prophecy? What was Moshe concerned about in regards to the sacrifice that was brought and was burned instead of being eaten? What was Aharon's humble response, and how did Moshe take it? Why were Elazar and Itamar silent if the rebuke of Moshe was directed toward them? What were the three instances that Moshe got angry and why did this cause him to forget a halacha? How does this forgetfulness work retroactively - he forgot it before he got angry?! What is the lesson of the fact that Moshe announced to the entire camp that he had made this mistake and been corrected by his brother Aharon?

We continue to study together perek 112 in Tehillim, passuk 7 which speaks of the fact that one who has a prepared heart and places his faith in Hashem has no fear of any bad tidings. The degree of that protection is directly tied to the depth of the person's Bitachon.

What is the concept of the 'broken heart' which Dovid Hamelech speaks of as a prerequisite to a relationship with Hashem? Why does Teshuva-repentance alone serve as an equivalent to having come to Jerusalem, built a Beis Hamikdash, an altar, and having brought sacrifices? What is the idea that Hashem uses specifically 'broken vessels?' How did Rav Avraham Yaffen explain the impact of the miracles of the six day war in contrast to the miracle of Krias Yam Suf (the splitting of the sea)? How can we be more deeply affected by the impression of the miracles in our personal lives?

We study together concepts of Bitachon from the Haggadah of Rabbi Yechiel Perr. We speak of the foundation of the Exodus which is the fact that Hashem is behind every miracle in the world, both great miracles and small miracles. We also talk about finding humility in the darkness and troubles, and finding humility in redemption, as well.

What is the idea behind the korbanos-sacrifices? Why was King David the prime example of someone who knew how to conciliate with Hashem? How does a wise beggar get a full meal from his host? How does a wise woman ask a favor of a friend? How does a farm worker get a bonus from his boss? In what way is Dovid Hamelech compared to the farm worker? What is the lesson of R' Yishmael Kohen Gadol (the High Priest) who came into the Holy of Holies and Hashem asked a blessing of him? How can a human being bless Hashem? Can we do the same?
