You know like life hacks? This thread is for Judaism Hacks.
Tonight’s Judaism Hack is the “correct way to sing Mizmor L’dovid”.
See, the melody was obviously written for this mizmor, which makes it puzzling why the last 3 pesukim are just never ending repetition. Very odd.
Here is the correct way to sing it.
When you get to ????? ???? ????, you don’t repeat any words. Instead, just sing it straight, and have less song.
So the usual way I’ve heard it sung, is that the musical line that starts ????? goes like this:?????? ???? ????, ????? ???? ???????
Then the usual way the next musical line goes:
?????? ???? ????, ??? ?????
Here’s how it should go:
The first musical line of the high part should go:
?????? ???? ????, ???? ??????????
And the next line:
?-?-?-??? ???? ???? ???? ????
Other Judaism Hacks to come. Add your own!
That is how I sing it! I don’t like the “real” way…

Why did the thread title make me think this was another Avi Weiss thread?
Anyhow, major Judaism hack: Mesivta Gemara (although I didn’t see a teirutz to PAA’s kashya there).
Minor Judaism hack: brewed coffee on Shabbos – make cold brew concentrate before Shabbos, or, the lazy, expensive way, use Starbucks Via. It’s better than most brewed coffee. Ask your posek if/how to make it, as it’s not made the same way as regular instant.
Also, popa, don’t mess with Ben Zion Shenker (who is ka’h still going strong, and recently released a beautiful album). The way he composed it was as a waltz with a certain tempo. I don’t either sing it as recorded, but musically, his way is better.
P.S. You could also get drunk every night and you’ll be an oiness for missing shacharis.
“Anyhow, major Judaism hack: Mesivta Gemara (although I didn’t see a teirutz to PAA’s kashya there).”
I feel so famous. This is at least the second time you mentioned my kashya in a totally unrelated thread. You are providing me with motivation to post more kashyas.
At first, I thought this was a thread about Israeli cabdrivers.
oomis is right. No mispronunciations in this thread.
A decent thermos will keep coffee hot from erev Shabbos until Shabbos morning.
You are providing me with motivation to post more kashyas.
My intention was to compliment an excellent kashya, but if it motivates you to ask more, all the better.
I hope the overzealous mod who hacked up this thread doesn’t delete this post. I mean sheesh, popa started the thread and brought in mispronunciations, why are we being so particular?
A decent thermos will keep coffee hot from erev Shabbos until Shabbos morning.
That’s good for my pre-Shacharis coffee, but I still need an eitzah for my Shalashudis coffee.
I have found that a really good thermos works well only when filled just before Shabbos when it starts around 8PM. In the winter months, the coffee is already tepid by morning. I have tried the double strength brewing, and adding boiling water the next morning, as I would do with tea essence. It’s ok.
Nu, popa, any more for us?
In a twisted sort of way.
Kind of like giving yourself a life threatening ulcer so you can eat at McDonald’s.
