The Mishlei Podcast

My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, and this is the hub for all of my shiurim (classes) on Sefer Mishlei, a.k.a. The Book of Proverbs! Generally speaking we will follow the approach to Mishlei outlined by Saadia Gaon who views Mishlei as a guide for intelligent decision-making in everyday life with the goal of maximizing long-term pleasure and minimizing long-term pain. Each shiur will typically focus on one pasuk (verse), which we will attempt to analyze on our own before turning to the meforshim (commentators). If you have any questions feel free to email me at rabbischneeweiss at gmail. Thanks for listening!

חָכָם יָרֵא וְסָר מֵרָע, וּכְסִיל מִתְעַבֵּר וּבוֹטֵחַ:

Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (9/4/23), in our first Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the 2023-2024 season, we did a trial run of my introductory Mishlei pasuk - not a full-on Intro to Mishlei shiur, but the first pasuk I typically teach students who are new to Mishlei. I wanted to assess whether I still think this is a good first exposure to Mishlei. The verdict? It most certainly is! We arrived at several great ideas that will serve as a solid foundation for Mishlei, and I'm confident that this is still a mighty fine choice.
