    Kabalat Shabbat (Part 1)

    Rabbi Avi Baumol

    The dual nature of Shabbat is presented: Universal - stemming from the creation of the world - and national - stemming from the Exodus from Egypt and the covenant between God and the Jewish People. This dual nature will be evaluated throughout the Mizmorim of Kabalat Shabbat.

    Kabbalat Shabbat (Part 2)

    Rabbi Avi Baumol

    A comparison between Mizmors 96 and 98 mirror the two aspects of Shabbat previously described. Mizmor 96 calls out to the world and to nature to praise God while Mizmor 98 calls out to praise ‘our’ God for the salvation he has brought to the Jewish Nation.

    In this shiur we examine what the fourth section of Tehillim is all about. Along the way, we discuss why we don’t mention Moshe in the Haggada on seder night and we gain insights into the readings of Kabbalat Shabbat. We follow the premise that the five books of Tehillim parallel the five books of the Torah.
