Tehillim as a Religious Journey: Where Do We Go From Here?
Dr. Beni Gesundheit
Throughout this course of 30 lectures, we have learned how use of contextual interpretation adds to the multi-layered and relevant messages of Tehillim to each of us as individuals, as part of the Jewish people and as citizens of the world, from the early days of Jewish history through the current redemption. Today’s final class will include concluding remarks by Rabbi Dr. Beni Gesundheit and others responsible for the 929 English project, Torah in Motion and additional sponsors who enabled this wonderful opportunity to teach. And finally, there will be some surprises for all attendees.
May we all continue to say Halleluya for many years to come!
