Description

Class #33 of a series on Sefer Tehillim. In this class, we examine chapter 137 of Tehillim, Al Naharot Bavel, which is printed before Birkat HaMazon in many bentchers. We discuss the setting of the mizmor, read through it carefully for its literary effect, discuss the overarching structure of the chapter, and address the morally challenging issue of the final verse, which calls for vengeance against the children of our enemies.
