Mishlei 16:6 - Attaining Atonement the Mishleic Way 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 16:6 - Attaining Atonement the Mishleic Way

בְּחֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת יְכֻפַּר עָוֺן וּבְיִרְאַת י"י סוּר מֵרָע:

Length: 1 hour 34 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (8/5/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur before a month-long hiatus, we took up a Mishlei pasuk on what didn't sound like a Mishleic topic: kaparas avon (atoning for iniquity). In fact, there's only one other pasuk in Sefer Mishlei that even mentions "avon." We came up with several of our own approaches, then learned through the commentaries of Metzudas David and Meiri, with lots of help from the Rambam along the way!
