Show Notes

(ז) שְׁתַּיִם שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאִתָּךְ אַל תִּמְנַע מִמֶּנִּי בְּטֶרֶם אָמוּת.
(ח) שָׁוְא וּדְבַר כָּזָב הַרְחֵק מִמֶּנִּי רֵאשׁ וָעֹשֶׁר אַל תִּתֶּן לִי הַטְרִיפֵנִי לֶחֶם חֻקִּי.
(ט) פֶּן אֶשְׂבַּע וְכִחַשְׁתִּי וְאָמַרְתִּי מִי י״י וּפֶן אִוָּרֵשׁ וְגָנַבְתִּי וְתָפַשְׂתִּי שֵׁם אֱלֹהָי.

This morning (6/8/21 at YBT) we took a break from our regularly scheduled Mishlei for a special shiur, prompted by my realization that I have given 150 shiurim this year! When reflecting on this fact, I associated to a triad of pesukim towards the end of the sefer. I realized that both the literal and the allegorical interpretations of these pesukim were relevant to the gratitude to Hashem that I felt compelled to express. Although this shiur ended up being different from our usual Mishlei shiur, I felt that it was important for me to publicly express this gratitude, and to convey the practical implications of these ideas to my talmidim.
