Tehilim 137: Al Naharos Bavel (Part 3)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 58 minutesSynopsis: This evening (12/13/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we reviewed what we did last time, took a couple of hesitant steps to explain the perek on our own, and then decided to let me Malbim "spoon-feed" us. We read through his commentary, then stepped back to analyze it, and BAM - we came up with a theory for the main idea and the purpose of the perek based on the Malbim's approach! We even came full circle and shed a new light on the minhag to recite Al Naharos Bavel before birkas ha'mazon. I'm really happy with the insights we gained!-----מקורות:תהלים פרק קלזתענית דף ל עמוד במלבי"םHayyim Angel, "Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi: Prophecy in an Age if Uncertainty"-----The Torah Content for Chanukah has been sponsored by Malky M. with gratitude for introducing her to a new way of thinking and learning.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
