Mishlei 18:8 - Mishlei on Complaining (Part 2: Ideas and Answers) 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!

Morning Mishlei shiur given at YBT (10/15/20) on Mishlei 18:8. We came up with a solid explanation of the pasuk which satisfactorily answered all of the questions we raised yesterday, making a solid case for why the act of complaining will make everyone more miserable - including and especially the complainer.
