Mishlei 15:22 - [Secret] Counsel and Successful Plans (Part 3) 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!

הָפֵר מַחֲשָׁבוֹת בְּאֵין סוֹד וּבְרֹב יוֹעֲצִים תָּקוּם:

Length: 49 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/19/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we devoted a third day to the pasuk we began last week! This was partially due to the fact that we didn't even get to the meforshim last time, and we also had a smaller crowd today. While I can't say that we arrived at any groundbreaking new peshatim, we did succeed in developing strategies for practical applications. We also learned an important derecho nistar approach from the Meiri. In other words, it was time well-spent!

The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by my friend, Rabbi Dr. Elie Feder. His latest book, Happiness in the Face of Adversity: Powerful Torah Ideas from a Mom's Parting Words, shares the wisdom of Shani Feder a"h, a true Eishes Chayil. This is the kind of Torah I wish more people knew—ideas that directly impact our experience of life. Available now on Amazon.
