Tehilim 30: Mizmor Shir Chanukas ha'Bayis le'David (Part 2 - Radak's Approach)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 11 minutesSynopsis: This evening (12/17/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began with a quick review, then made it our mission to learn through the entire commentary of the Radak. Thankfully, he states his main idea at the very beginning, so we were able to see how he develops it in his commentary on each pasuk. We went a bit overtime so that we could finish it, and although we didn't quite manage to tie it together in a neat package this time, we DID come away with an insight about the relationship of this perek to Chanukah. Next time (בג"ה), we'll attempt to refine and polish our insights, and "land the plane."-----מקורות:תהלים לרד"קמגילת תענית כג:גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר עבודה, הלכות תמידין ומוספין ג:יגhttps://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/why-do-jews-wear-yarmulkes-----SPECIAL CHANUKAH DISCOUNT: For the eight days of Chanukah, I’m offering 50% off my paid Substack subscription, just $5 per month.
