Show Notes

In tonight's Tehilim shiur (3/18/20 at YBT) we learned the entirety of Tehilim 117 - the shortest perek in the entire sefer, consisting of only two pesukim. Our analysis began flowing from the text itself (which we analyzed like a Mishlei pasuk, since it was so short), and was strengthened by the Radak's commentary. We then went back and reviewed the sequence of Hallel from 113 through 117 and arrived at a pretty good understanding of the progression. We concluded with a review of 116 in an effort to review and refine our ideas from last time. Unfortunately, we won't be able to learn the final chapter of Hallel together before Pesach (nor will we be able to learn the chapter of Hallel ha'Gadol). That will have to wait until after Pesach.

If you're interested in our shiurim on all the other parts of Hallel, here are the links:
