Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hourSynopsis: This evening (11/26/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we completed our analysis of Tehilim 97. After reviewing what we covered last time in 97 and the ideas we developed in 96, we focused in on the central problems, all of which were in the last three pesukim. Turns out, they held the key for unlocking the entire thing. Not only did we emerge with a meaningful set of insights, but they even connected to the American holiday of Thanksgiving which we'll be celebrating tomorrow.-----מקורות:תהלים צזרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ב:א-ברמב"ם - אבות א:גספורנו - תהלים צז:ארד"ק - תהלים צז:א,י-יבמאירי - תהלים צז:א,י-יברב הירש - תהלים צז:א, יב-יב-----This week's Torah content, for the week of Thanksgiving, is sponsored by me with gratitude to all my readers, viewers, and listeners — and most of all, my students.

1) Story about the brocho to be said when eating rice:[1]2) For the chapter of Tehilim said according to one's age, what should a Ger do?[2]3) May I call up to the Torah one whose brocho is unintelligible?[3]4) When lighting candles for Shabbos, following the custom of not extinguishing the match directly, may one place the burning match on a flat surface (which will cause the match to go out sooner)?[4]5) What is the earliest time in the morning for reciting the passage of the Tomid? [5]6) When doing the kinyonim before a wedding, common practice is for one of the witnesses to give his cloth to each of the people making the commitments and they lift the cloth. Why does the cloth need to be the property of one of the witnesses?[6] 7) Should I wait to separate Challoh until the dough has risen, or as soon as I finish kneading the dough?[7]8) May one burn the piece of Challoh before shaping the loaves?[8]9) May I use a Menorah whose lamps stand in a slight curve?[9]10) We don't have a minyan of men who fast. May the Chazan say the brocho of Aneinu?[10][1] ראה 'סדור רבנו הזקן עם ציונים מקורות והערות'ח"ג מילואים סי' לז (ע' א'תקפז).

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Tehilim 97: Hashem Malach Tageil ha'Aretz (Part 1: Translation, Questions, and Opening Moves)Length: 1 hour 6 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/12/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began the next perek in (what we're unofficially calling) the "Kabbalat Shabbat series." I don't know about you, but whenever I've read this one in the past, it's kinda felt more or less like a repetition of the previous one. Well, NOT ANYMORE! Even our initial analysis opened my eyes to patterns and themes I had never seen in the perek. It seems like this one is VERY tightly connected to the previous one, so our analysis ended up being built on what we learned over the past three weeks. Next time (בג"ה), we'll aim to discover the core!-----מקורות:תהלים צזArtscrollNeima NovetskyRobert Alterשמות ג:טותהלים יט-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Joey and Estee Lichter in commemoration of the yahrzeits of Joey's mother, Faiga bas Yehuda, and Estee's father, Yisroel ben R' Moshe.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 3 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/5/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we had something of a “do-over” of last week's session, which didn't record because of a hardware failure. Thankfully, this version turned out far better! We managed to explain the entire perek and address all four of our major Tehilim methodology questions. Although we won't get to go through the perek with one of the meforshim this time (since I'd like to move on next week), I'm glad things unfolded the way they did.-----מקורות:תהלים צומאירי - תהלים צו:ארד"ק - תהלים צו:יארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות מלכים ומלחמות יא:א,דרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות ברכות י:כו-----If you're interested in sponsoring my Torah content for one or more weeks this month, please let me know!

Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 2 minutesSynopsis: This evening (10/22/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began the next perek in our "Tehilim we say at Kabbalas Shabbos" series. This one was very ... "Tehilimmy"! As usual, we spent the bulk of the first session translating the perek with all its nuances. I couldn't help but add my commentary as to why this part of the process is so important. We then began our analysis and identified some of the major themes, questions, and problems. Next time (בג"ה), we'll venture a theory of the perek! -----מקורות:תהלים צהמצודת דודבראשית ד:ג-דתרגום אונקלוס - שמות טו:א-----The Torah content for the remainder of October is sponsored by Yael Weiss in honor of her parents, and in celebration of her father's birthday (September 25 / 17 Tishrei). -----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
