Reb Aaron 1/11/11 9am - Pesukei D'Zimra

psukei d'zimra - preparation
■ Few kehillas say korbanot.
■ Consists of tehillim, like poetry, and meant to be expressed and shared (there's a cadence & rhyme). zimra means singing.
■ Mishna Brurah says that mizmor letoda needs to be sung together, however if the kehilla is not interested in singing along with the shaliach tzibur, then perhaps it should not be done, because it is preferable to have a united energy.
■ Psukei Dzimra is necessary because we begin to create a harmonious unity with our voices, then we also come to say Shema and Shmone Esrei united in the minyan - the ULTIMATE purpose of psukei dzimra.
