Boker tov!

From Sheldon, Made a Matzor Bri

What time is that tonight?

I am a member and didn’t get that email - hope to get the reminder.

I have two of them!

the ipad person didn't want to have their name changed yesterday

iPad is Sherri and Debbie, I believe. It’s provided by work.

the name you see on screen everyone sees?

yes Mickey i see your full name

We will have class April 6,7,8 and April 13 and 14th

Not the other days

the person could make an additional zoom account, and then sign in with a different name (or that is how it works on my chromebook)

And what about the add-on Fridays?

Are we starting this Friday?

People can turn off their video if theyre doing something the rest of us don't need to see.

You can actually change how your name appears. Click on the 3 dots in the corner of your box.

Boker too, everyone!

no Betsy —I think the Rabbi will address this

Egyptian Pharos went even further and considered themselves Gods

Traduttore tradittore.

I'm still confused about who the anointed is in the psalm. It is contrasted with Kings and princes, so who is it?

How do we know these are poems?

Hilary can we look at your question after we read through the Psalm? i think a lot of us are curious!

As opposed to what, Marsha? Great question.

Love these classes....

people plan and G-d laughs

Would you please send it to me again....an unfortunate glitch prevented it landing in my inbox...G-d bless arubyfish@aol.com

Ancient monarchs were not only the select/anointed by gods but were themselves either the chief priest or celebrant and/or a divinity by descent from the ruling god. [Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, etc.] As such, they combined both the temporal and spiritual ruler on earth. The Hebrew kingdoms almost uniquely separated church and state. Kings were anointed but authorities only in temporal affairs. Priests exerted control over ritual intercession.

a private in verse - the internal hebrew has some what we call alliteration but i don.t know enough to discern. was poetry an ancient a biblical form as we understand poetry? or ...

oops - a private journal in verse?

is that always the case

Ellen: That’s my “mantra” these days - how did you know? And is it only me? 🤪😂

Question: are the two phrases before and after each semi colon the “two lines” of poetry?

This is the Sefaria translation. safaria.org

* sefaria.org

Sorry. Tim is right. sefaria.org

Kat, how smart, of course it’s all of us - another way psalm 2 speaks to us now

What is the meaning of the vertical line between certain words?

if psalms mean praises ...is it praises fro god? or praises for us internally?

its steven raphael

Sounds like what the king said in welcoming Esther, a statement of acceptance and generosity

Ki hine kachamer

We seem to have three "Kings"

my translation in v9 says: You, David, will break them with a rod of iron and shatter them like poetry.” David isn’t directly mentioned in the verse - any thoughts why he’s named in my translation?

I like the idea of “a private journal in verse” — a new genre to me(!)

One mention in verse 2. One in verse 6 one in versed 10

Thinking of the shattered pottery image in Unataneh Tokef

discernment

Harold noted that the word Amora is pronounced Gemora in English.

And join the Facebook group: CBST Psalms Class.

In the spirit of no comment or question is dumb, I was thinking this yesterday: While we say shoftei aretz or malchai aretz, we don’t say amei aretz (am ha’aretz, singular, is an individual who we think of as “salt of the earth”.) I wonder when “am ha’aretz” emerged. Probably wasn’t part of ancient Hebrew. There are kings of the land and judges of the land, but not peoples of the land.

Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CBSTPsalms/

(No need to read this aloud. It’s just a musing._

Oops. Tim tactfully reminded me privately, “am ha’aretz” means, ignorant person, rather, and emerged during the Talmud.

a lot of epic poems inn these times

even in the torah - shirat hayam.

The psalms move me so much exactly because they are poetry and very breautiful poetry at that; and I can only relate to religion on the level of feelings and emotions

Papyrus … stone inscriptions. The Rosetta Stone!

and maybe there were editors (!) over time who tweaked/altered the internal structure

thank you Rabbi thank you Sacha thank you Harold

Could someone briefly explain why R Kleinbaum was just singing Sabbath Prayer from Fiddler on the Roof?! I missed it. Thx.

It’s the Priestly Blessing. The oldest written text we have from the Second Temple period.

Blessings to all and infinite gratitude to our rabbi and host mavens!

Thanks for the best part of my day so far.
