Psalms are an integral part of davening, but we don’t often having the opportunity to really dig into and reflect on the themes of these holy texts. In this three part series with Hadar DC, we’ll explore the language of key psalms and learn midrashim that will help us uncover themes and expand our understanding of this rich liturgy.
Tehillim (Psalms) are an integral part of davening, although davening often doesn’t provide the space to really dig into and reflect on some of the themes of these holy texts. In this three part series, we’ll spend time in havruta (paired learning) exploring the language of key psalms from davening as well as learn together midrashim from Midrash Tehillim that will help us uncover key themes and expand our understanding of this rich liturgy. You’ll come away with new insights into tehillim and a deeper relationship to the text.
This class is held in person at the Edlavitch DCJCC on Thursday evenings, May 15-29. Free to attend, but registration is required.
