This past week, Klal Yisrael shared a collective heartbreak and horror over the unfathomable events in Israel. In the midst of despair and uncertainty, Jews from around the world shed light on the power of unity. Tears of sorrow melded with tears of wonder at how quickly people mobilized to help in every way imaginable. In this new reality, deciding what step to take first was a challenge. At Emet, the first step was tefilah.
Our Sages teach us (see Talmud Bavli, Bava Basra 14b) that King David wrote the Psalms (T’hilim) based on his own experiences, along with the contributions of other great Jewish figures. While the Book of T’hilim was composed mainly by King David, the Gemara (Bava Basra 14b) enumerates ten authors who composed psalms other than King David.
