Mishlei 15:15 - How to Party Constantly (Part 1) 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 15:15 - How to Party Constantly (Part 1)

כׇּל יְמֵי עָנִי רָעִים, וְטוֹב לֵב מִשְׁתֶּה תָמִיד:

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/15/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which, on its surface, seems to provide a strategy for how to experience life as a perpetual party. What this means, how to do it, and why Mishlei is telling us this is a more complicated story. We started coming up with some approaches today, but we're anticipating a flood of good ideas from the meforshim tomorrow (בג"ה).

It’s a new year on the Gregorian calendar, a new year of my life (I turn 41 on January 10th), and a new opportunity for sponsorships! I currently don’t have any sponsorships lined up for 2025, so I’d like to try an experiment: for every week you sponsor, I’ll include a free month of paid subscriber access to the Rabbi Schneeweiss Substack! If you’ve been curious about my writing that’s too controversial, too personal, or too speculative to publish publicly, this is a great way to gain access while supporting my Torah endeavors!
