or rash

Rav Zalman Schachter-Shalomi also does not do all of them

Can get Levy as a Kindle

Harold can you send the booklist, Thanks

I saw somewhere in my reading yesterday that there are more psalms. I think it was on wikipedia in the Dead Sea Scrolls entry. Rabbi, what’s the story?

I will send everyone the book list again later.

good sound!

good introduction about this in the Alter book

can you suggest any texts that discuss the poetic forms? ( asking as a poet)

Alter’s book does that

And Richard Levy

The Hebrew Preposition “l’” alto means “to” or “for” as in given to David or dedicated to David. How does this comport with tradition?

i can’t see anything on harolds screen - can others?

how about the expression zichrona le brachia?

Is everyone seeing this on my screen?

Yes, can see Harold's screen

not me

I see it

yes

yes, Harold

I can see everything

must be just me

Great. Thanks all.

can you make it larger, Harold?

also the Hebrew word Yeshiva, salvation, is literally the Hebrew name for Jesus.

I would love to have a discussion about the name - yud he vav he - and its relationship to the Hebrew parallel of the verb "to be" : haya/hove/yihye/havaya.

Why isn’t glory capitalized?

Sarah, it’s name and pronouns - He/Who/His

my translation doesn’t even include selah

Betsy, which translation?

Thanks, Harold.

Psalms That Speak to You, Yitzchok Leib Bell

To figure out what selah means can we look at its shoresh?

published by Tehillim Today, in Israel

JPS has selah in italics

Shep. Look at the Wikipedia article and Alter’s notes. he says that there is no way to determine the etymology.

v 6 transl. 1st clause in past tense, what is the tense in Hebrew?

as a musician the selah seems to divide sections of the psalm, almost suggesting a musical ‘rest’

Ve-ata yarum roshi al oyvai sevivotai., pslam 27I suddenly remembered this

reversing vov

it is past tense

because of vov

And I, remembered while we did 8/Chet: Kumah hashem v’yanusu(sp?) oyvechah — during Torah service if I remember correctly

Judy, not so simple, as far as I understand. The tenses in English and Hebrew are not parallel.

I know

but the vov changes the tense

I checked the translation that is used by the Bulgatrian Orthodox Church and they have just got rid of the Selah.

So, Darina, it’s like my translation

the tenses are strange in that phrase

I speak Russian

I majored I Russian in college and it has present, past and future tenses

We can ask Yelena

Levy is more literal in his translation

Only the word Ishana has the vav

Go, Judy!

(You pointed that out above.)

And he said

Said

Why is HIs in His son capitalized?

For those who are interested in Russian verbs:http://www.russianforeveryone.com/Rufe/Lessons/Course1/Grammar/GramUnit13/GramUnit13_1.htm

Marilyn, I think it’s because each line has initial caps.

thanks

Synoptically! I’m on it.

What is spiritual message of R. Levy?

I am that I will be.

Oops. Misremembered.

Jerry Herman…I am what I am.

So y - h - v - h is "a being".

marian, email me at judith.hollander@gmail.com

Marilyn

will do, Judy

Please email me at hslevine@gmail.com if you have NOT been getting my emails. I have almost all of you in my database, but it seems like some of you aren’t getting my emails. You may also want to check your “spam” and “promotion” files.

whose was the last translation on the screen?

Norman Fisher

Norman Fischer is wonderful as a humanist. If we have trouble with god issues, he is a good alternati

alternative

Selah - It's a very beautiful word.

I like it best as a homonym. In Hebrew “selah” can be spelled differently and when it is, it means stone.

sol=basket?

(As shores/root)

No, that’s wrong. A shoresh needs three letters, not two, samech and lamed.

The word Academy does not have a Hebrew version

Machshave

Selah may mean forever

Machshev

(From thinking)

I think there’s an academy word for Radio in Hebrew, but everybody uses Radio

Could Selah, if musical, be more like a Greek chorus in the background?

Thank you for more fun.

thank you everyone. such a good class

Thank you everyone - love this class!!

Thank you everyone!

I suddenly remembered that "electricity" is a made-up word from a Greek root because no lnaguage had a word for it before it was discovered, so most modern languages now have some version of that same word - but for some reason they wanted an entirely separate word in Hebrew.

another meaning for selah is to lift up or to exalt

such a gift, thank you
