The Tehillim or Psalms
These beautiful ancient prayers,
that have been recited by our people for
thousands of years, were written by the
greatest poets of Jewish History, including
Adam, Moses, and King David. Our thoughts
take flight as the words of these immortal
poems open our hearts, bring renewal and
strength to life's tragedies, and joyous
gratitude to life's triumphs. Throughout our
history, the recitation of the Tehillim not
only inspire us by accentuating the role God
plays in our lives, but it creates a conduit
of communication with God as we plead for his
merciful intervention.
The Women's Tehillim
Circle is a circle of prayers
for healing created to enable our membership
to help those in need by collectively
engaging in the recitation of the psalms.
Thanks to the efforts of many special women
in our community, the entire book of Tehillim
is recited on a daily basis as well as in a
weekly gathering. They may be recited in any
language for ANYONE in our community or
extended community who has been stricken with
a life-threatening or debilitating illness or
injury. By reciting these immortal words, we
touch the lives of others and touch our lives
as well.
