Chapter 64 Episode 10

This dvar Torah focuses on the “strange” logic of Tehillim 117: why the non-Jewish nations are commanded to praise Hashem specifically because “His kindness overpowered *us*.” Using the Gemara in Pesachim and the Maharal’s framing, the shiur resolves the question by splitting the pasuk’s praises into different categories: the nations praise Hashem for His demonstrations of power in the world (nissim and gevurot), while Israel uniquely praises for chasadim done *to us*. Along the way, it develops a conceptual map connecting nissim to Shem Havayah/rachamim, gevurot to din, and chasadim to chesed, and it critiques an attempted reading that “נבראים” here means specifically Klal Yisrael.

Tanach Study Tanach Study Tanach Study is an initiative to promote the independent study of the books of Tanach‎ (Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim) through a web-based platform and weekly class. Our program aims to provide the Jewish community with immediate access to Torah knowledge in the form of a daily e-mail/podcast to complete and understand Neviim and Ketuvim in just 3 years. Tanach Study hopes to broaden Torah learning, to increase knowledge of our Jewish history, heighten our Yirat Shamayim, Ahavat Hashem, and strengthen our personal as well as our national identity. Machshavah Lab Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss. My goal as a Torah educator is not merely to teach my students my OWN hashkafah. Rather, my goal is to equip them with the foundations, the methodological training, and the tools which will enable them to arrive at their OWN understanding of Judaism and cultivate their OWN relationship with Hashem and His Torah. This podcast is devoted to the shiurim I give which are geared specifically towards that end. As such, the range of topics covered here will be diverse. There will be shiurim on Jewish philosophy, Chumash methodology, aggadic midrashim, maybe even some non-Jewish philosophy as well. Merriam-Webster defines "laboratory" as a place providing opportunity for experimentation, observation, or practice in a field of study. I call this podcast "Machshavah Lab" because this is where we will conduct Torah "experiments" by exploring questions, texts, and ideas in an effort to develop our machshavah in a "hands on," exploratory, firsthand manner. Understanding the Sefiros Rabbi Yossi Michalowicz Understand the Mystical Sefiros and their relevance in developing a deeper relationship with Hashem & Mitzva observance. This series is based on the Sefer "Da'as HaSefiros" which incorporates the teachings of Rabbi Reuven Shlosberg (Jerusalem) which explain the conduct of hashem and recognizing our own human spiritual essence.
