Mishlei 15:19 - The Thorn Fenced Way of the Mishleically Lazy (Part 2) 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 15:19 - The Thorn Fenced Way of the Mishleically Lazy (Part 2)

דֶּרֶךְ עָצֵל כִּמְשֻׂכַת חָדֶק וְאֹרַח יְשָׁרִים סְלֻלָה:

Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/20/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a quick review and refinement of what we covered yesterday. After a few additional ideas from the group, we delved into the meforshim and we were rewarded not only with excellent ideas about our pasuk, but huge methodological insights for how to approach Mishlei as a sefer, thanks to R' Sheshes. I went into this pasuk hoping for chidushim in Mishleic laziness, and we got plenty of that and more!
