Psalms. It refers both to the content and purpose of this
book. King David gives expression to the whole range of
human emotion and thought as it relates to G-d through
his book of Psalms. Through poetry and song, King David
expresses the praise of the soul for G-d in all situations,
both pleasant and difficult.
They form a central part of the Jewish prayerbook (Siddur) and were
sung by the Levites in the Holy Temple. King David's Psalms are a pure
expression of Divine Light as expressed in Holy speech and are used
to purify the world and the Jewish people. They are one of the most
powerful weapons of the Jewish people. When we recite them, we
create a straight connection to the Almighty for our prayers and
deepest desires for good to ascend.

The power of a community reciting Tehillim together
is immense. In times of trouble, the first defense of
the Jewish people is to say selected Psalms together,
or to divide the Book of Psalms amongst a community
so that the whole Book is recited.
As the situation grows more acute in Israel and
around the world, a call has been issued calling
for the daily recitation of Tehillim (Psalms) by every
Jew, of every background and affiliation.
Specifically, Jews are urged to devote at least
fifteen minutes a day to this form of prayer and
to recite Psalms 20, 83,121,130 and 142 during that
time. In order to facilitate these meaningful prayers

each new month with blessing, to ask G-d to grant a refuah shelaima
(complete healing) to those who are gravely ill, to help the souls of the
departed to ascend, and to bless those who are in a difficult situation with
success.

How to say Psalms
The most powerful way to say Psalms is out loud, or by at least moving your lips. If you read them silently they remain in the realm of thought. We want them to affect the world of action which is the world we live in. Before reciting them, ask G-d in your own words to have mercy on the people of Israel and Jews around the world. You do not have to be Jewish to pray on behalf of the Jewish people. The righteous of all nations are part of our redemption.
