Dear Rabbi, thank you very much. I can speak the Psukei d'Zimra in the mornings and something is different now. It feels as if my (inner) voice could raise much higher than it could before. Really really thank you very much and thanks H'
I have a question watching this: when we say: "שמך לעד מלכנו" does refer with the letters "ש,ל,מ" to the name of Shlomo hamelech, how can we read the text then? Does this point to the coming of Moshiach, who will be a descendent of David and therefore, probably Shlomo as well? As a king who will bring us closer to Gd.? And we even, as you mentioned, find the name of Avraham avenu, so then we have the whole linage.
