perek shira:
song of nature
Shalom my dear Chaverim, Talmidim, v' Rabbanim, friends, students, and fellow rabbis. An oneg, joy-filled, Shabbat this coming weekend to all.
For this series, we are studying Perek Shira. It will be fun and light and short for those that wish it to be, as well as deep and involved from those who like to delve into our traditions texts.
Perek Shira is 6 chapters long with verses of various heavenly and earthly bodies, plants and creatures singing praises to God. If you would like, consider the phrase the entity is singing, and ascribe to it what the entity is trying to teach us... about what traits to mirror and what traits to avoid. More on the text is found in the first class.
''The SECOND of Eight ROOSTERS sings: 'Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? God strong and mighty, God mighty in battle!' (Ps. 24:7-8) [Perek Shira 4:2, Nature's Song]. What can one learn from a ROOSTER? Boker TovAdoodledoo!!
