Mishlei 16:11 - Hashem's Scales of Justice 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!

פֶּלֶס וּמֹאזְנֵי מִשְׁפָּט לַי"י, מַעֲשֵׂהוּ כׇּל אַבְנֵי כִיס:

Length: 1 hour 29 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (10/7/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a difficult pasuk that just didn't seem to fit the Mishlei mold. We tackled it anyway, hoping we'd be rewarded with a timely idea for Aseres Ymei Teshuvah, and we ended up working out THREE such ideas, plus a couple from the meforshim. If you're looking for a Mishlei pasuk that will help you prepare for Yom ha'Kippurim, this one fits the bill!
