The Living Tehillim series
Mrs. Rivka Segal is known for a single, sustained project: "Living Tehillim with Rivka Segal," a series that works through the psalms one mizmor at a time. Rather than treat Tehillim as a book to recite quickly in times of need, she takes it chapter by chapter — Mizmor 1, 2, 3, and on — giving each psalm the attention to be understood on its own terms.
The series title captures the aim. This is Tehillim meant to be lived, not only said: she brings out the meaning behind the words so a woman reciting them can connect to what she is actually expressing. For anyone who has turned to Tehillim without fully following the Hebrew, a guided walk through the perakim opens the sefer in a new way.
Making the psalms personal
Her approach is to make the psalms personal. Tehillim gives voice to the full range of human experience — gratitude and fear, hope and heartbreak, praise and plea — and she draws out those emotions so listeners can find their own feelings inside the ancient words. The result is that a familiar chapter can suddenly feel written for the moment a person is in.
This emotional accessibility is much of the series' value. Many women say Tehillim regularly, especially in difficult times, and understanding the perakim transforms that practice from recitation into genuine tefillah. Her teaching helps a listener mean the words, which is, after all, what the psalms were given for.
Tehillim and the Jewish month
Her teaching also touches Rosh Chodesh and the rhythm of the Jewish month. Rosh Chodesh has long carried particular meaning for Jewish women, and she connects its themes of renewal and beginning to the spirit of her Tehillim study. Both subjects share an inward, reflective quality that suits her calm, thoughtful style.
Taken together, her catalog offers women a steady companion for prayer and reflection. Whether following the Living Tehillim series from the first mizmor or turning to a specific chapter, a listener gains a deeper relationship with a sefer that sits at the heart of Jewish devotion. It is teaching built for the quiet, personal side of avodas Hashem.
