Tehilim 145: "Ashrei" (Part 5 - Radak on 145:1-9)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Tonight (2/15/21) in our Tehilim/Tefilah shiur we continued our analysis of Ashrei with the aid of the Radak's commentary. We began with a methodology point about how to approach texts like this, which the chachamim acknowledge are deeper or more important than most. We then reviewed pesukim 1-7 to refine some of our previous ideas, note some new ones, and to grasp the flow and unity of the section. We concluded by going over the facts of 8-9 to set up for next time. Buckle in, boys and girls, because it looks like we're going to take our sweet time on this perek!----------מקורות:רד"ק - תהלים קמה:א-ט----------The Torah content for the remainder of February has been sponsored by Jeremy Gelbart of Boca Raton, FL, in gratitude for Rabbi Schneeweiss's teaching.----------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.
