The Midrash Tanchuma explains that the reason for B’nei Yisrael’s survival through all their numerous troubles and exile is because, unlike the non-Jewish world, B’nei Yisrael recognizes Hashem during good and bad times. David HaMelech understood this when he said, “Sh’foch chamascha el ha’goyim asher lo y’da’ucha – Pour out Your wrath upon the nations that do not recognize You” (T’hilim 79:6). Klal Yisrael, on the other hand, has a completely different reaction. When we are faced with sorrows, we call out and turn to Hashem and His Torah, as David Hamelech stated: “Tzarah v’yagon emtza u’v’sheim Hashem ekra – I will find troubles and sorrows, and I will call out in Hashem’s name” (T’hilim 117:13).
