Mishlei 16:10 - The Charm on the King's Lips 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 16:10 - The Charm on the King's Lips

קֶסֶם עַל שִׂפְתֵי מֶלֶךְ, בְּמִשְׁפָּט לֹא יִמְעַל פִּיו:

Length: 1 hour 37 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/30/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a VERY strange pasuk. It was difficult to translate, difficult to contextualize, but we managed to come up with some really nice approaches and learn a few of them from the meforshim as well! Sadly, we didn't end up getting an idea about Rosh ha'Shanah, which was a possibility in my mind, but the ideas were nice and surprisingly far-ranging in their application.
