WINTER PSALMS

During the winter months, there is a Jewish tradition of studying a special set of psalms, "tehilim," on Shabbat afternoons. Each week, we are going to present one of these psalms as we go through the (relatively) cold portion of the year. When you have some free time, read the psalm, and consider how it affects your thoughts and your feelings, both the rational and emotional sides of your being.

PSALM 122

This psalms describes how a Jew might feel on making a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, which we are directed to do for each of the three harvest festivals (Pesach, Shavuot and Sukkot), and climbing up to the Temple to make a sacrifice.
