בכל צרתם לו צר

In all their troubles He was troubled,
And the angel of His Presence delivered them.^-h
In His love and pity
He Himself redeemed them,
Raised them, and exalted them
All the days of old.

And Moses built an altar and named it Adonai-nissi.

And Hannah prayed:

My heart exults in the LORD;
I have triumphed^-a through the LORD.
I gloat^-b over my enemies;
I rejoice in Your deliverance.

(Exodus 17:15) "And Moses built an altar and he called its name 'the L rd is my miracle.'" Moses (hereby) said: The miracle that the L rd wrought (for me) — He wrought it for Himself (i.e., for the sanctification of His name.) And thus do you find: Whenever a miracle is performed for Israel, that miracle, as it were, is before Him — "The L rd is my miracle." (Isaiah 63:9) "In all of their afflictions, He was afflicted." Joy to Israel — Joy to Him. (I Samuel 2:1) "I rejoice in Your salvation!"

The Holy One, blessed be He, declared: In this world you sin because of the evil inclination within you, and therefore you are subservient to other nations. Nevertheless, My Shekhinah will not depart from you, as it is said: In all their afflictions He was afflicted (Isa. 63:9). In their rejoicing, He rejoiced, as is said: Because I rejoice in Thy salvation (I Sam. 2:1). And He also said: I will rejoice in Jerusalem and rejoice in My people (Isa. 65:49). And it says also: And as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee (ibid. 62:5). Hence, all the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth.

And Moshe was a shepherd and a gentleman in a fire out of the bush. Rashbi tells what God Almighty discovered from my name and would talk to Moshe out of the bush, what this bush is tougher than any tree in the world and every bird that enters it does not go right out of it but cuts limb organs, so that Egyptian labor is difficult before the place of every slave in the world. A slave or slave Ben Horin never left Egypt but only Hagar said (Genesis 2: 2) and Pharaoh would go on him and send him and his wife and all that he had: Merom and he would talk to Moshe out of the bush as long as Israel was in such trouble

The Gemara further asks: And why do they cover themselves in sackcloth? Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said: This is as though to say: We are considered before You like animals, which are likewise covered with hide. And why do they place burnt ashes on top of the ark? Rabbi Yehuda ben Pazi said: This is as though to say in God’s name: “I will be with him in trouble” (Psalms 91:15). Reish Lakish said that the same idea can be derived from a different verse: “In all their affliction, He was afflicted” (Isaiah 63:9). By placing burnt ash on the ark, which is the symbol of the Divine Presence, it is as though God Himself joins the Jews in their pain. Rabbi Zeira said: At first, when I saw the Sages place burnt ashes upon the ark, my entire body trembled from the intensity of the event.

And let us first explain "is there Ad-nai among us, or isn't? And Amalek came." (Exodus 17:7-8) And the famous question is what is the connection between the issues. And it seems to me that it is known what the rabbis said (Sotah 31a) "in all their troubles He is troubled" (Isaiah 63:9) is written and the reading is with an alef [making in all their troubles He was not troubled." And a sage and smart person will pay attention and understand that suffering for a human being is a suffering for the Shechinah, as it is written (Sanhedrin 6:5) "My head hurts, My arm hurts", and so the person will pray over the distress of the Shechinah, and immediately the distress of the human will pass, and this is what [I say] if a person understands that in all their sufferings God suffers, then there is no suffering. This is what the verse says "Isn't it because Ad-nai is not in me that all these evils befell me?" (Deut. 31:17)- if I had paid attention that this is suffering for the Shechinah then Ad-nai would be in me, and then those evils would not have befallen me. And this is easy to understand. And through this we can understand "because they tested, is there Ad-nai among us or isn't?" and then "Amalek came", since once my God is not in me, this event happened to me. And this is easy to understand.

Master of the Universe! just as our father, Abraham suppressed his compassion to do Your will with his whole heart, so may your compassion suppress your anger against us; and may your compassion prevail over your [other] attributes. Act with us Adonoy, our God, kindly and with compassion. In your great goodness turn away your fierce anger from your people, and from your city, from your land and from your territorial heritage. Fulfill for us, Adonoy, our God, the promise you made in your Torah, through your servant, Moses, as it says, I will recall my covenant with Jacob, also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I recall; and I will recall the land. And it is said: "And even then when they are in the land of their enemies I will not abhor them nor sparn them to destroy them— to annul my covenant with them; for I am Adonoy, their God." And it is said: And I will recall for them the covenant with their ancestors whom I took out from the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God, I am Adonoy. And it is said: "And Adonoy, Your God, will return your exiles and have compassion upon you, and will again gather you from [among] all the nations where Adonoy, your God, has scattered you. Even if your dispersed will be scattered to the ends of the world, from there Adonoy, your God, will gather you, and from there He will fetch you. And it is said: And Adonoy, your God will bring you into the land your forefathers inherited. And you will inherit it; And He will do good to you and multiply you more than your forefathers. And it is said by Your prophets: Adonoy, be gracious to us, [for] we put our hope in You; be their strength every morning; also our deliverance in time of distress. And it is said: It is a time of trouble for Jacob, but he will be delivered from it And it is said: In all their affliction, He is afflicted, and the angel of His Presence delivered them; in His love and in His pity, He redeemed them, and bore them and carried them forever. and it is said: Who is an Almighty like You, forbearer of iniquity and forgiver of transgression for the remnant of his heritage? He does not maintain His wrath forever, for He desires to do kindness. He will again show us compassion, He will suppress our iniquities; And you will cast into the depths of the sea all their sins. You will grant truth to Jacob, kindliness to Abraham as You swore to our fathers from the days of old. And it is said: And I will bring them to My holy moutain; and make them joyful in My House of Prayer; their burnt-offerings and sacrifices will be accepted with favor on My Altar, for My House will be called a House of Prayer for all peoples.
