Tehilim 119: Part 02 - Aleph, Pesukim 1-4

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This evening (6/9/22), in our Tehilim/Tefilah shiur, we reviewed our approach to Tehilim 119, read the theories of three commentators on what the perek as a whole is about, and then began working on the first four pesukim. The various participants in the shiur ventured their own theories, and we concluded by going over my own theory, which answered all of our questions and explained the flow. Next time we'll aim to understand pesukim 5-8 and attempt to unify the first eight pesukim (בג"ה).----------מקורות:תהלים קיטמאירי - תהלים קיט:א,ד,חספורנו - תהלים קיט:אמיוחס לרשב"ם - תהלים קיט:אר' אברהם בן הרמב"ם - המספיק לעובדי ה' פרק אירמיהו ט:כב-כגרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:נד----------This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Ann, in loving memory of Rabbi Morton Moskowitz zt"l.----------If you missed the crash-course on "How to Learn Tehilim," here are links to the YouTube video, the podcast episode, and the written version.
