Join Orot for 6 weeks of Psalms where we explore how the human soul extends itself beyond its confining, sheltering, impermanence.

In his commentary on Psalms Nahum Sarna writes: “ In the Law and the Prophets God reaches out to [hu]man[s]…In the Psalms, human beings reach out to God….In Psalm, the human soul extends itself beyond its confining, sheltering, impermanen[ce]….

The biblical psalms are essentially a record of the human quest for God…[and] constitute a revealing portrayal of the human condition.” (Sarna, On the Book of Psalms: Exploring the Prayer of Ancient Israel).

The Book of Psalms continues to inspire in every generation.
