Tehillim 124

Thank you for studying l'ilui nishmot Helen Moskovits and Fannie Lehmann. Their legendary kindness supported hundreds of World War 2 sh'erit ha'pleyta. Their profound connection to Tehillim is inspirational to this day. Sponsored by their grandchildren Yitzchok and Barbie Lehmann Siegel.

Baruch Hashem!

David says that if it hadn’t been for G-d, we’d have been swallowed whole when our enemies rose up against us. (The Talmud in Megilla says this refers to Haman because it says “adam” – a common person, as opposed to a king.)

When the anger of other nations was directed at us, it would have washed us away like the waters of a flood. We would have been overcome by waters of evil. Blessed be G-d (“Baruch Hashem!”) who did not let us become their prey; instead, we escaped like a bird from a trap.

Our help comes from G-d, Who made Heaven and Earth.
