Synopsis: This evening (2/18/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we resumed our analysis of this perek after a little break. After reviewing the translation, our pivot point theories, and the questions, we came up with an original approach which ended up being fantastic! After that, we ventured into the unknown by reading the commentary of the Sforno. Next time, the plan is to read the extended version of Sforno's commentary, as written by his student R. Elia di Nola, and attempt to understand the perek according to that reading.

Synopsis: This evening (2/4/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we continued in our learning of the so-called "Kabbalas Shabbos" perakim, jumping back to 29. As usual, we devoted this first session to translating the perek and raising a bunch of questions. Does this have any thematic connection with 95-99? On the surface, it doesn't seem so, but we'll have to wait until next time to find out!

Synopsis: This evening (1/28/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we took a brief detour from our we've so-called "Kabbalas Shabbos" perakim of Tehilim. We recently finished 95-99, and although the next perek according to the mainstream Ashkenazi minhag is 29, we unanimously decided to (re)learn 100, since it's part of the same series (a.k.a., "Moshe Rabbeinu's Tehilim") and we wanted to attempt to learn it in the context of the Yemos ha'Moshiach theme we've been developing. Plus, there ARE some Sephardim who say this in Kabbalos Shabbos. Thankfully (ha!), we were able to start AND finish it all in a single night, and man what a great perek it was! If you're looking to level up in how you relate to gratitude, you're in for a treat!

If anyone happens to (re)listen to the shiur I gave on this perek in 2022, let me know what we said, and if the ideas still hold up!
