Mishlei 14:32 - How the Tzadik and Rasha Handle Adversity (Part 2) Artwork

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!

Mishlei 14:32 - How the Tzadik and Rasha Handle Adversity (Part 2)

בְּרָעָתוֹ יִדָּחֶה רָשָׁע, וְחֹסֶה בְמוֹתוֹ צַדִּיק:

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/23/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued analyzing yesterday's pasuk. You know the expression, "you win some, you lose some"? Well, that doesn't apply in Mishlei EVEN when you don't emerge from a learning session with a clear, succinct, satisfactory explanation. Why not? Because so much of the benefit of learning Mishlei comes from the analysis and discussion itself. Today, we pretty much ended up where we were yesterday as far as a conclusive understanding goes. Sure, we made some NICE moves and explored some intriguing possibilities, but this was one of the few Mishlei shiurim (out of the 530+ shiurim I've recorded over the past four years) in which I felt like we NEEDED a third session. Tzarich iyun, as they say!
