Scroll up, Marsha

Just follow along with Judith for now. It’s only a few words.

if you hold down the space bar you can unmute yourself for a moment to speak and then when you let go it goes back to mute - I've found this feature particularly helpful

In memory of my friend Emil Cohen. I discovered Judaism while I was trying to figure out how to mourn him.

Anointed in Greek is “Christos,” or Christ in English.

Is the rabbi reading the 2nd verse as if it, too, started with 'why'?

to designate as if by a ritual anointment

Nice hair cut, Randi

There is anointment as part of the baptism ritual in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, after the washing in holy water.

And I mentioned in response yesterday that in my experience at a Modern Orthodox Jewish day school from grades 1-8, we were taught to refer to Jesus only as Jesus, since to refer to Jesus as Christ was to acknowledge him as the Messiah.

That's a nice things about working from home

In honor of my dear college prayer partner and fellow traveler Jane Redmont. Different religions, same faith.

is the Hebrew word for counsel in psalm 1 the same as

the word for take a stand in psalm 2? Thank you.

I’m looking at Notes on Psalm 2 by Blaine Robison. He writes: The psalm is written in the form of a dramatic poem, in four stanzas of three verses each. Henry Morris suggests that the first stanza reflects David's perspective; the second stanza gives the viewpoint of the God the Father; the third is a statement by God the Son, and the fourth stanza would come from God the Holy Spirit (110). A trinitarian interpretation has value, but it is somewhat arbitrary and fails to recognize the significance of the Son in the context of the psalm and Hebrew theology.

Mashiach in Hebrew literally means smeared with oil, which in fact kings and the high priests were

Which is certainly a Christian point of view!

My cup runs over, you anoint my head with oil.

the earthly rulers

the kings of earth

the rulers

My translation from R. Zalman says "You" want to throw off His moral precepts

In both psalms we’ve looked at so far, there seems to be a lot of wishing harm upon those in power. The tone often feels vindictive to me. I’m curious in general if that is something the rabbis are uncomfortable with or comment on.

According to Ibn Ezra, Saadia Gaon interprets "laugh" to mean that God will make them (i.e. the kings of the earth) objects of laughter and scorn.

Fischer omits anything about “the one who sits in heaven”. He begins the verse with “You laugh at them …”

god is speaking

is it “the anointed” who are speaking?

israel

ki mitzion teitzei Torah

Is this just Tzion in general or anything to do with Har Tzion?

Fathered you

rabbi ..is Theology the "idea" of g-d in the world or is it actually "g-d in the world?

Alter: “…it was commonplace in the ancient Near East….to imagine the king as God’s son.”

There was a mt. In Wisconsin, where we used to ski, “Devil’s Head.” (The opposite of holy.)

Sharon & Sherri have their hands raised

That's what I thought too of the Greek gods :)

Jonathan Baron has their hand raised

ziggurats, Mayan pyramids, etc. - attempts of to recreate the mountain dwellings of their gods.

The ground swells a mountain is a summary of that. The earth gives us life

i think the Grand Canyon also inspires holiness.

We are all so fortunate to have this time with Rabbi and each other to study together. Thank you.

Ps 121 As we sang last week: I LIFT UP my eyes to the MOUNTAINS, from where my help comes.

Alter: “…it was commonplace in the ancient Near East….to imagine the king as God’s son.”

Sasha can do that

Thank you Harold and Sasha!! Having TAs is so helpful! Thank you for volunteering!
