  • Tehilim 23 REDUX: The Lord is My Shepherd (Part 2)
    2024/11/07

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 58 minutes
    Synopsis: Tonight (11/6/24), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we quickly reviewed the perek and all the questions from last time. After exploring an approach from one of the shiur attendees, we learned the Radak's commentary which I attempted to elucidate with a little help from the Ibn Ezra. I believe I managed to get everything out on the table, but we'll need to mull it over and come back to it next week to sharpen it up. Still, I'm glad we managed to get two nice approaches (or three, depending on how you count) within the hour!

    Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!

  • Tehilim 23 REDUX: The Lord is My Shepherd (Part 1)

    Length: 58 minutes
    Synopsis: Tonight (10/30/24), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began (re)learning what I believe is the most well-known psalm of them all. The last time I gave shiur on this was WAAAY back in November 2020, and I figured it was time to revisit it, especially now that I have new resources. We translated the perek on our own, then consulted four other translations. We theorized about the pivot point, then raised a TON of questions and problems. Next time (בג"ה) we'll begin with our own theories, and then take up the Radak.

  • Tefilah Reexamined: Part 4 - Six Ways of Understanding Ramban on Tefilah
    2024/09/27

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 27 minutes
    Synopsis: This morning (9/27/24), in our NEW Machshavah Lab series for women called "Tefilah Reexamined," we began with a grand review of the essential ideas in parts 1-3, focusing on the mitzvah de'oraisa of tefilah as explained by Ralbag, Rambam, and Ramban. Picking up where we left off last time, we reviewed the Rav's explanation of the machlokess between the Rambam and Ramban, bringing support from "Rav scholars" for the problems we identified last time. We then read Rav Asher Weiss's analysis of the Ramban's view, as well as the Aruch ha'Shulchan's treatment, and ultimately ended up with our own assessment and hot take. All in all, I believe there were six approaches that were considered for understanding Ramban's view. Let no one say we didn't give it our best shot!

  • Tehilim 24 REDUX: Sunday's Psalm (Shir Shel Yom Rishon b'Shabbos) (Part 4)
    2024/09/26

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 57 minutes
    Synopsis: Tonight (9/25/24), in Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, our goal was "to land the plane" - to distill all of our insights and observations into a unified theory - and land the plane we did! Thanks to Sforno and R' Elia di Nola, we emerged with a powerful understanding of what it REALLY means to want Moshiach and gained clarity on what we're asking Hashem to do in this perek. We even managed to explain how this fits into the davening of Rosh ha'Shanah, and we examined a complementary idea from the Rav. This was a great perek, and I'm glad we spent a month learning it. Now it's time to apply it!

  • Tefilah Reexamined: Part 3 - Ramban's Alternative View of Tefilah
    2024/09/20

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
    Synopsis: This morning (9/20/24), in our NEW Machshavah Lab series for women called "Tefilah Reexamined," we began with a comprehensive review of Parts 1 and 2, then delved into the Ramban's critiques of the Rambam's stance on tefilah. After reading through the Ramban, we compared and contrasted his approach with the Rambam's, which - at this point - seem worlds apart. We concluded by reading the Rav's creative explanation of that machlokess. I say "creative" because I love the idea, but I don't think it's true to the Rambam. Next week, I hope to present an alternative understanding.

    Length: 58 minutes
    Synopsis: Tonight (9/18/24), in Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, I decided not to review and refine the approaches we came up with last time, but instead, to jump right into the Sforno. We learned through his commentary at a leisurely pace, with lots of help from R' Moshe Kravetz's footnotes and R' Elia di Nola's commentary. During the last 15 minutes of shiur we worked on coming up with a unified theory. It feels like we're really close, but not quite there. We have one Wednesday night Tehilim shiur left before Rosh ha'Shanah, so we'll plan to devote that shiur to another attempt, and perhaps we'll see what some of the commentaries on the Mussaf of Rosh ha'Shanah say.

  • Tefilah Reexamined: Part 2 - Rambam on "Avodah" (and the Allegory of the Palace)
    2024/09/13

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 1 hour 38 minutes
    Synopsis: This morning (9/13/24), in our NEW Machshavah Lab series for women called "Tefilah Reexamined," we began by reviewing our questions on the Rambam's initial presentation of the mitzvah of tefilah and the Ralbag's answer. We then delved into the Rambam's Allegory of the Palace in the Guide for the Perplexed, in which he presents his definition of "avodah" (Divine service) and "avodah she'ba'lev" (service of the heart/mind), among other important concepts. We came up with a theory that explains the Rambam's statement in the Sefer ha'Mitzvos that "avodah" encompasses ALL mitzvos in general, as well as tefilah and Torah study in specific. Next time (בג"ה) we'll contrast this model of tefilah with that of the Ramban.

    2024/09/12

    Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!

    Length: 57 minutes
    Synopsis: Tonight (9/11/24), in Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we reviewed our cleaned-up translation of the perek from last time, went over all our questions (raising some new ones in the process), and then we opened the floor for approaches. There were a LOT of great ideas, but three complete theories for the perek, each one good in its own way. I didn't even get to share the approach I'm developing, which worked out, since I didn't have time to prepare as much as I would have liked! Next time (בג"ה), we'll begin with a quick review and refinement, then dive into the explanations of Sforno, R' Elia di Nola, and Rav Hirsch.
