The Book of Psalms is first and foremost a shining example of Biblical
poetry. This genre conveys the word of God in a different medium than narrative;
it focuses not on what one reads or hears but rather on what one feels and
intuits. Moses himself, as seen in today's verse, calls the Torah poetry.
Based on this declaration, the receiver of Torah must not only ‘learn’ the
divine words, but also ‘sing’ the heavenly song. Tap into the inner
emotions of an eloquent and provocative writer with 'There's Jews in Texas' a
collection of poems by Debra Winegarten. Your only complaint will be that it is
too short!
