 The Tehillim That Speak to Us

In honor of Shavuot and the yahrzeit of King David, community members will share brief 3–5 minute reflections during Kiddush on a passage from Tehillim that has personally inspired, strengthened, comforted, or stayed with them over the years.

Join us as we explore how the timeless words of David HaMelech continue to give voice to our own experiences, struggles, hopes, and relationship with Hashem.

Presented during the first day Kiddush of Shavuot.
