Length: 1 hour 5 minutes Synopsis: This evening (4/17/24), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we concluded our relearning of Tehilim 113 with the commentary of the Abravanel - and boy did he deliver! I think we ended up in a similar place to where the Radak took us last time, but we arrived there through a classically nuanced Abravanelesque reading of the pesukim. With this understanding in hand, we were able to appreciate how this first chapter of Hallel sets the stage for the chapters that follow. ----- מקורות: תהלים פרק קיג אברבנאל - זבח פסח, פירוש לתהלים פרק קיג Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, "Building a Society of Freedom" רמב"ן - שמות ו:ב רד"ק - תהלים קמה:ד ----- The Torah content from now through Pesach has been sponsored by the Koffsky family, in loving memory of Adira (a"h), who loved big ideas and asking big questions. ----- If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
