Description

Class #19 of a series on Sefer Tehillim. In this class, we examine chapter 22 of Tehillim, which is associated with Purim by Sefardic communities (and is the Shir Shel Yom for Purim, according to the Vilna Gaon). We briefly survey the text of the chapter, uncover the early sources which connect this chapter to Purim, and explore three explanations for this linkage.
