Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Reads Tehillim
Rabbi Sacks calls the book of Psalms "The greatest religious poetry ever written." It helps us intensify our "encounter with the Divine." Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Reads Tehillim is an online project, facilitated by Sacks-Herenstein Center graduate interns, Netanel Muskat and Shoshana Rockoff, presenting literary and visual interpretations of the chapters of Tehillim by Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» faculty and students. This project is in conjunction with a forthcoming Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» Press book on Tehillim, a collaborative publication of the Straus and Sacks-Herenstein Centers, co-edited by Drs. Shaina Trapedo and Erica Brown with a forward by Dr. Shira Weiss. Check out the website for insightful and creative readings of the chapters of Tehillim:
