Study Psalm 104 with Rabbi Shai Held and Shira Hecht-Koller to mark the 929 Project learning the first 100 chapters of Psalms.
Psalm 104 is an impassioned celebration of both God and the world-- and of the world as God's gift to all creatures. Strikingly, the psalmist declares that all creatures, both human and non-human, share a profound dependence on God. Studying the psalm raises a series of fascinating questions, not least about the respective roles of human beings and the rest of creation. Together we will closely read and analyze the psalm, and then discuss different entry points for reflection and examination based on the model and writings of the 929 community.
