  This week the Rabbi chose Psalm 90, an elegiac psalm that examines the impermanence of life and the permanence of the sacred. (In his continuing cinephile style, he *might* give away one of his favorite movies, too.)

  This week the Rabbi looks at Psalm 74, a psalm with questions about its origins, many interesting literary features in Hebrew, and one that appears to include references to Eastern tradition in regard to the creation of the cosmos. (And it even throws in a reference to sea monsters…)
