Mishlei 16:7 - How to Recruit Hashem to Make Your Enemies Be At Peace With You 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 16:7 - How to Recruit Hashem to Make Your Enemies Be At Peace With You

בִּרְצוֹת י"י דַּרְכֵי אִישׁ, גַּם אוֹיְבָיו יַשְׁלִם אִתּוֹ:

Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/9/24), in our first Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the 2024-2025 season, we took up a Mishlei pasuk about how to make peace with our enemies. The overarching questions are "What are the parameters of this pasuk?" or, to put it more bluntly, "Under what circumstances is this true?" We ended up with some nice insights into decision-making and some useful strategies for navigating potentially contentious relationships in life. We even learned a nice "derech nistar" (esoteric) idea about how to govern our inner lives!
