About this episode
Rabbi Shulman discusses the significance of gratitude in Tehillim and the inclusive nature of Hashem's goodness as illustrated in a Gemara.
Rabbi Shulman explains a teaching of the Maharal on why Tehillim both opens and closes with “הוֹדוּ לַה׳,” framing the entire chapter as an exercise in הודאה (gratitude). He then traces a Gemara in Pesachim that assigns successive verses to different figures around David HaMelech (David, Yishai, Shmuel, and David’s brothers), showing that the goodness of Hashem is not “mainly” for one person with incidental spillover to others. Rather, every beneficiary is intentionally included in Hashem’s ordered plan, and therefore each one has a distinct obligation to thank—while all ultimately unite in gratitude to the single Source.
