Synopsis: What if I told you that we're going to take up TWO perakim of Tehilim, totaling 93 pesukim? You'd probably think, "This is gonna take MONTHS!" Well, I've long said that one of the tricks to learning Tehilim is to not lose the forest for the trees. These two perakim which I learned over Pesach put that principle to the test. They're long but their structure will make it easy for us to separate the details from the big picture. They're clearly meant to be complementary, and I think it'll be best if we learn them together. This evening (4/15/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we read through both of them back to back and raised some initial questions. (I decided to translate them in advance instead of doing it in shiur, which proved to be a good decision!) Next time, we'll tackle one or both in-depth.

Synopsis: This evening (3/25/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began with the Radak's comments on the "ki le'olam chasdo" refrain, followed by a brief comment by Sforno's student on the fine-tuning of the universe, and then spent the rest of the shiur learning the Malbim's approach. We had a brief detour into an angel-related Haggadah topic, but stayed pretty much on track after that. We definitely came up with AN approach. Whether it's what the Malbim had in mind I'll leave for you to decide!

This week's Torah content is sponsored by Seth Speiser, in honor of the yahrzeit of his father, Rabbi George Speiser (Rav Yosef ben Dovid). Rabbi Speiser was a kind and gentle soul as well as an Intellectual and a scholar. He received smicha from Rav Hutner at Chaim Berlin. His love for teaching and making puns was only outweighed by his love of family.

Synopsis: This evening (3/11/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began by reviewing the translation and questions from last time, and then set out to explain the perek. Thankfully, we managed to come up with an excellent approach, inspired in part by Saadia Gaon and Rambam with a minor assist from Radak and Meiri. I'm really happy with what we said, and I'm looking forward to delving into one of the full-length interpretations of the meforshim next time!

This week’s Torah content is sponsored by Rabbi Dr. Ben Aaronson in honor of NYHS (Northwest Yeshiva High School), our alma mater. So many of our friends and classmates — and the two of us — owe our connection to Torah and Judaism to the outstanding education we received there.

NYHS just concluded a successful CauseMatch campaign. If you missed it, worry not! Donations are still more than welcome. If you’ve benefited from me, from past and present NYHS teachers (Rabbi Moskowitz zt”l, Rabbi Fox, and others), or simply want to support an exceptional institution with visionary leadership, consider contributing today at nyhs.org/giving.

The Torah content this week is also sponsored by Avital and Yitzy Richter. May we be zocheh to see Hashem redeem Klal Yisrael and lead us from geulah to geulah!
