    Length: 58 minutes
    Synopsis: Tonight (5/7/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we did something experimental. Instead of learning the next perek the way we usually do, entirely from the ground up, we started with the commentary of Sforno (and that of his student, R' Elia di Nola) and focused on THEIR approach. (I explain my reasons for doing this at the beginning of the shiur.) We finished their introduction and got a few pesukim in, and so far, it's exciting! I can't wait for next week!

    The total cost of producing my five podcasts in 2024 came to $1,455—an expense I would have otherwise had to cover myself. I’m deeply grateful to the generous sponsors who helped shoulder that cost and supported my efforts to make Torah ideas available and accessible to everyone.
