Tehilim 12: Against Treacherous Speakers (Part 1)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!This evening (4/19/23), in our Wednesday night shiur, we returned to Sefer Tehilim! Since I'm giving a few other shiurim on lashon ha'ra, I decided it would be apropos to learn "the lashon ha'ra perek." This enigmatic, Mishleic, difficult-to-translate chapter proved to be quite the challenge, but I think we've set up our questions pretty well, and I'm excited to see what ideas we can uncover next time (בג"ה)!-----מקורות:תהלים פרק יבספורנו יב:אתרגום כתובים יב:ה,טרש"י יב:טמצודת ציון יב:טמאירי יב:טירמיהו ט:א-ח-----The Torah content from now through the end of the month of Nisan has been sponsored by Michal Zoldan, who reached out to me over Pesach to let me know that she listens to my podcasts.
