Tehilim 99: Hashem Malach Yirgezu Amim (Part 1 - Translation and Questions)

Length: 1 hour
Synopsis: This evening (1/7/25), in our first Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of 2026, we commenced our analysis of the next perek in our "Kabbalas Shabbos" series, which also happens to be the last perek in the 95-99 cluster before the minhag takes us back to 29. As usual, we spent the first two thirds of shiur translating the perek and the last third raising all the questions and problems we could. Next time, we'll attempt to come up with our own answers and theories before seeing what the meforshim have to say!
