Tehilim 130: A Song of Ascents - From the Depths I Called You, Hashem

Length: 1 hour 9 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (10/25/23), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we learned Tehilim 130, which many of us have been saying in response to the current war between Israel and Hamas. With Hashem's help, we were able to engage in a complete analysis - from translation, to questions, to a comprehensive understanding. I now feel like I understand what I'm supposed to be feeling, thinking, and doing while saying this perek, and I hope that by saying it with this new understanding, we'll be able to move one step closer to the redemption promised at the conclusion.
