Tehilim 27 REDUX: Hashem Ori v'Yishi (Part 1)

Length: 1 hour 10 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/6/23), in our first Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of the 2023-2024 season, we decided to revisit the same perek we learned in Elul of last year - this time, through one of my new favorite commentators whose name nobody will have heard of: R' Elia di Nola, student of the Sforno. Because we learned the perek so recently, we deviated from our usual procedure. We relied on the translation and questions from last time, and we didn't attempt to figure out the main idea on our own, but instead, we jumped right into the commentary. We read and translated the whole thing and set up the main questions, which we'll attempt to answer next time.
If you prefer a slower and more organic analysis, I recommend checking out the three-part shiur on this perek from September 2022.
