[HANASHIR:6603] Re: Ki Va Moed

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

I would like to have a fuller understanding of the text of Ki Va Moed
before teaching it to our Rosh Chodesh group.   I have noted the reference
of Psalms, chapt. 102, vs. 13-14:

> 13. But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever;
>     Your fame endures throughout the ages.
> 14. You will surely arise and take pity on Zion,
>     for it is time to be gracious to her;
>     the appointed time has come (Ki va Moed)

However, I can think of differing interpretations and possibly layers of
meaning to the last line, which seems to be stressed by the repetition of it
in the song.  Has the appointed time come for Gd, for the poet or for Zion,
and what is to be done at this appointed time?  Is it a line we should apply
to our personal life changes?  Scholars, what would you say?

Thanks,
Rachelle Shubert
