Tehilim 142: a Maskil Tefilah in a Cave (Part 1)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 3 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/2/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began a FRESH (read: unprepared) analysis of Tehilim 142, which our yeshiva has been saying in response to the current war with Hamas. We spent tonight reading, translating, and raising questions on the text. Next time (בג"ה) we'll try to answer these questions and figure out what this perek means.-----מקורות:תהלים פרק קמבRobert Alter, Tehilim 142מצודת דוד - תהלים קמב:ארש"י שםרד"ק שםמאירי שםאבן עזרא שםספורנו שםר' אליה די נולה שם-----This week's Torah content has been sponsored anonymously in the hope that we will hear less sad news about things we can't control and learn more Torah to bring about change in ourselves, and in those aspects of the world which we can control.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
