According to the Talmud, this psalm is the choicest of all psalms because it includes a sweeping praise of God from ‘aleph’ to ‘tav,’ as well as a reminder of the universal message that God is the sustainer of all. Being a member of the people of Israel means emulating God in all His glory. Just as Hashem supports all His creations, regardless of their financial stature, so too must we help those in need, no matter who they are or what their needs may be. Meir Panim consistently makes every effort to do just this: they feed the hungry, lift the downtrodden, and sustain all those in need. Let us emulate our Creator and support Meir Panim's important work.
