What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Lazer Brody’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Amuna [singing] my Lord. [music] Amuna, it's from you my Lord. It's [music] all [singing] good, my Lord. Oh [music] Lord, [singing] we're learning tonight about divine direction and war and hostility and Sh's loving grace. The lesson is entitled Defying the Odds, the Jewish people's turbulent history. It's one continuous story of divine direction and it transcends all logic, military and otherwise.

They have nothing to do because it's all above nature." And this is something we knew. But uh these are the analysts, the nations of the world, they understand this is something we all need to understand that we are above nature and we're connected to a muna and amuna is above nature.

So our holidays and our celebrations of Hashem's miraculous divine direction. Uh that's what they are. The holidays everyone is a a celebration of Hashem's divine direction.

And in Khanekica the uncanny miraculous defeat of the Greeks against all odds and pur commemorates our salvation from anna from annihilation at
