Why would a Biblical verse relate the most obvious thing in the world?! Psalms 115:17 reads, “The dead do not praise the Lord…” – a sentiment either blindingly obvious, or else, if referring to the immortal soul, apparently nonsensical (why shouldn’t a soul praise G-d?). Join David Nekrutman and Rabbi Pesach Wolicki for a radical yet textually sound translation of this verse – a translation that will provide insight into the difference between modern pagans and people who are focused upon the Lord.
