The Mishlei Podcast: Recent Episodes
Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss
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 25:28 - Are YOU a Breached City Without a Wall? (Part 2)
עִיר פְּרוּצָה אֵין חוֹמָה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֵין מַעְצָר לְרוּחוֹ:
Length: 39 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/11/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. After reviewing and refining our understanding of yesterday's main peshat, we spent most of the rest of shiur on Saadia Gaon. This led us into a related-but-also-tangential discussion about methodology, some of which was not recorded. We concluded with the Meiri, which included more methodological reflections about teaching.
And with that, we have finished Chapter 25! I have now given shiur on every pasuk in Mishlei Chapters 10-25, and I can't wait to continue our journey, wherever we end up next!

עִיר פְּרוּצָה אֵין חוֹמָה אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר אֵין מַעְצָר לְרוּחוֹ:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/10/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned another "straight-up mashal" pasuk - and a pristine one, at that! The idea we developed is so good and so fitting that I'd consider using this as a "starter pasuk" for Mishlei. As a bonus, this pasuk is eminently (and scarily) practical. I can't wait to see what we come up with when we learn the meforshim tomorrow!

Mishlei 17:28 - How a Fool Can Appear Wise
גַּם אֱוִיל מַחֲרִישׁ חָכָם יֵחָשֵׁב אֹטֵם שְׂפָתָיו נָבוֹן:
Length:
Synopsis: This evening (6/8/26), in our last Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the season, we learned another pasuk about silence - this one seemingly advising a fool how to pass as a chacham or a navon. We raised a ton of questions, developed some excellent ideas and half-ideas, and rounded it out with three meforshim, including a surprisingly counterintuitive read from the Metzudas David. And with that, we have finished our SIXTH year of Monday Night Mishlei, our 17th chapter of Mishlei, and the last pasuk in the "second book of Mishlei." That's right: we've had shiur on every single pasuk in Chapters 10 through 24 (with 25 slated to finish on Thursday). It has been a wonderful ride, especially with our Monday Night Mishlei crew, and I can't wait to resume in the Fall, God willing!

Mishlei 25:27 - Mussar for Winnie-the-Pooh (Part 4)
אָכֹל דְּבַשׁ הַרְבּוֹת לֹא טוֹב, וְחֵקֶר כְּבֹדָם כָּבוֹד:
Length: 29 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/4/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we wrapped up our discussion of this honey-themed pasuk with the Rambam's interpretation in the Moreh ha'Nevuchim, after first briefly discussing the Ralbag's similar approach. We didn't have time to delve TOO deeply into the Rambam - something I plan to do in my women's shiur tonight on the Arbaah Nichnesu l'Pardes - but we still gleaned some insightful and helpful takeaways.

Mishlei 25:27 - Mussar for Winnie-the-Pooh (Part 3)
אָכֹל דְּבַשׁ הַרְבּוֹת לֹא טוֹב, וְחֵקֶר כְּבֹדָם כָּבוֹד:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/3/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued last week's pasuk where we left off: mid-Meiri. We learned through his first derech nistar approach in-depth, which was fantastic, then read through his second one and set it aside because it more-or-less follows the Rambam we plan to do tomorrow, and then we learned through his treatment of the "sugya" of honey in Mishlei - a masterful analysis of the three seemingly contradictory pesukim about honey in chapters 24-25. This, too, was very much in line with the Rambam's approach, which makes me even more excited to take it up tomorrow! (בג"ה)

Mishlei 17:27 - Knowledge, Understanding, and Minimizing Speech
חוֹשֵׂךְ אֲמָרָיו יוֹדֵעַ דָּעַת, (וקר) [יְקַר] רוּחַ אִישׁ תְּבוּנָה:
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (6/1/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we had another "skeleton crew" day with a bunch of regulars absent, but we ALSO had a legendary surprise guest: our "YouTube friends," whose comments and contributions you may have seen on YouTube or heard me quote in shiur. (One of my other talmidim, who wasn't in the shiur, exclaimed, "That's like a YouTube face reveal." Accurate!) Tonight's pasuk was tough: we got at least FOUR half-baked ideas (three of our own, plus Metzudas David) before Rabbeinu Yonah saved the day with a fully baked loaf. And the real question is whether next week's pasuk will shift this week's analysis, seeing as how so many meforshim connect the two. Tune in to find out! It'll be our last Mishlei shiur before we break for the summer.

אָכֹל דְּבַשׁ הַרְבּוֹת לֹא טוֹב, וְחֵקֶר כְּבֹדָם כָּבוֹד:
Length: 29 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/28/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we quickly reviewed yesterday's approach, then learned Saadia Gaon's commentary (which answered a question we raised yesterday) and two approaches from the Meiri. I don't want to say that we got sidetracked, but we did get depthtracked. That's okay, because I want to spend an additional week on this pasuk. Great ideas so far!

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/27/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a cryptic pasuk about eating too much honey - the second instance of this theme in our perek. We came up with four quite different original approaches. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll turn to the meforshim.

Mishlei 17:26 - Not Good Punishing a Tzadik
גַּם עֲנוֹשׁ לַצַּדִּיק לֹא טוֹב, לְהַכּוֹת נְדִיבִים עַל יֹשֶׁר:
Length: 1 hour 29 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (5/25/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we unexpectedly had a skeleton crew, with most of our regulars conspicuously absent. But the shiur must go on! We tackled a pasuk I had never learned before. The syntax was weird and ambiguous - a quality I tried to capture in the title of this shiur. We came up with several good approaches of our own, then learned Metzudas David, and then - huzzah! - the Ibn Kaspi said my approach! We might not have had some of our regulars tonight, but we learned some great Mishlei!

מַעְיָן נִרְפָּשׂ וּמָקוֹר מׇשְׁחָת צַדִּיק מָט לִפְנֵי רָשָׁע:
Length: 51 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/21/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed yesterday's interpretations then focused on two meforshim: Rabbeinu Yonah (excerpted from Shaarei Teshuvah, presumably) and the Meiri, who offered several interpretations. Not only were all the ideas we learned good and practical, but this also provided excellent support for my approach to the Meiri's nigleh/nistar style. We had a nice foray into the Derashos ha'Ran!

Mishlei 17:25 - How a Foolish Son Affects His Parents
כַּעַס לְאָבִיו בֵּן כְּסִיל, וּמֶמֶר לְיוֹלַדְתּוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (5/18/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned one of those pesukim that looked suspiciously like many others we've done — recently, in fact. The challenge was clear: would we be able to discover a new insight? We found a hook right away and came up with a lot of promising approaches — with lots of methodology along the way — but nothing QUITE worked ... that is, until a newcomer to the shiur who had never learned Mishlei saved the day by suggesting an excellent interpretation! We then learned a few approaches from the meforshim, but that one innovative idea is what made the night a real success!

Synopsis: This morning (5/14/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we didn't come up with any earth-shatteringly new approaches, but we refined some points in our understanding from yesterday and we explored a few new angles. It was admittedly a "scraping the bottom of the barrel" type day, since the meforshim didn't have much to say, but still valuable and interesting!

אֶת פְּנֵי מֵבִין חׇכְמָה וְעֵינֵי כְסִיל בִּקְצֵה אָרֶץ:
Length: 1 hour 24 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (5/11/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that looked promisingly rich — and rich it was! We came up with several approaches on our own, then learned the commentaries of Metzudas David, Rabbeinu Yonah, and the Meiri — even taking a brief foray into Rashi for a practical idea that is relevant for all those who aspire to chochmah! It was a great pasuk, as expected!

Mishlei 25:24 - Strife-Wife Gonna Strife ... Again (Part 2)
טוֹב שֶׁבֶת עַל פִּנַּת גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת [מִדְיָנִים] (מדונים) וּבֵית חָבֶר:
Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (4/30/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing our questions on 25:24, but then most of the rest of shiur learning the meforshim on 21:9, where the pasuk first appears, since that's where most of the commentaries can be found. In addition to the Mishleic insights we gained, we also encountered a fair bit of Mishlei methodology. I wish we would have had the leisure to fully unpack the Malbim and Ralbag, but given the time constraints, I'm happy with what we got.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (4/29/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that we already learned over four years ago, when it made its first appearance in 21:9. Fortunately, I don't remember what we said, and was able to go into today's analysis fresh. In contrast to what usually happens, we did NOT end up developing distinct approaches; instead, we explored the phenomenon in the pasuk, suggesting answers and partial interpretations from different angles. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 17:23 - Bribes from Bad Bosoms

Length: 1 hour 28 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (4/27/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that appeared to be obvious that it didn't even sound like it was saying anything at all. But our Monday Night Mishlei crew is fearless when it comes to pesukim like these! Sure enough, we came up with several of our own approaches, then analyzed several approaches from the meforshim. We emerged with a nice selection of clear and practical new insights!

Mishlei 25:23 - The Relationship Between Secretive Speech and Anger (Part 2)
רוּחַ צָפוֹן תְּחוֹלֵל גָּשֶׁם וּפָנִים נִזְעָמִים לְשׁוֹן סָתֶר:
Length: 31 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (4/23/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a quick review of the translation, the questions, and the approaches from yesterday, adding a few points and supports here and there. We then delved into several approaches from the meforshim, nearly all of whom provided new insights and creative readings about various forms of lashon ha'ra. Quite appropriate, given the fact that we're reading parashas Kedoshim this week!

Synopsis: This morning (4/22/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned another cryptic "straight-up mashal" pasuk. Although we weren't quite sure what to assume about the meteorological facts, we did our best and came up with several fruitful approaches which provided insight into how to avoid several categories interpersonal conflicts. We also scoped out the commentaries of Saadia Gaon (in part), Metzudas David, and Ralbag. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the other meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 17:22 - The Relationship Between Physical Health and State of Mind

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (4/20/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that I was worried would be too obvious. But thanks to the Monday Night Mishlei Crew and the meforshim, we were able to come up with around a dozen approaches, each of which had practical applications! If you or a loved one are dealing with a physical illness, you'll find at least half of these approaches beneficial.

Mishlei 25:21-22 - Mishleic Revenge is a Dish Best Served (Part 2)
(כא) אִם רָעֵב שֹׂנַאֲךָ הַאֲכִלֵהוּ לָחֶם וְאִם צָמֵא הַשְׁקֵהוּ מָיִם. (כב) כִּי גֶחָלִים אַתָּה חֹתֶה עַל רֹאשׁוֹ וַיְיָ יְשַׁלֶּם לָךְ:
Length: 31 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/26/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a quick review of the questions, then jumped right into the meforshim. We made it through a surprising number of interpretations in our 31 minutes, both nigleh and nistar. I was initially worried that we wouldn't have enough material for two days of shiur, but it turned out to be quite the opposite! Even well-trodden pesukim are a font of insight.

Synopsis: This morning (3/25/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk I’ve learned and taught DOZENS of times, one of my favorite “introductory pesukim.” It may not follow the structure of a typical Mishlei pasuk, but it exemplifies Mishlei’s approach to decision-making and character development. Today we came up with two approaches of our own and learned two meforshim who share the approach I usually teach. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we’ll be on the hunt for chidushim, especially in the derech nistar.

Mishlei 17:21 - Two Failed Fathers of Two Mishleic Fools
יֹלֵד כְּסִיל לְתוּגָה לוֹ וְלֹא יִשְׂמַח אֲבִי נָבָל:
Length: 1 hour 42 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/23/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which fit squarely into two Mishleic genres: (1) Mishleic parenting, and (2) seemingly obvious pesukim. Once again, I was a bit nervous because of how little the meforshim had to offer, and once again, I was pleased with what we and they came up with! This was also my first time delving into what appears to be a niche Mishleic archetype: the naval. Another nice haul!

Mishlei 25:20 - Is Music an Effective Remedy? (Part 2)
מַעֲדֶה בֶּגֶד בְּיוֹם קָרָה חֹמֶץ עַל נָתֶר וְשָׁר בַּשִּׁרִים עַל לֶב רָע:
Length: 43 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/19/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we covered yesterday, filling in a few more translation nuances. We spent the bulk of our time learning through the three explanations given by Saadia Gaon which, according to him, are all related in their practical application. At the end, we read through part of the Meiri and ventured a guess as to what he might have meant, but didn't have time to give him the attention he deserves. I'm pleased with what we came up with and glad that we only scratched the surface!

Mishlei 25:20 - Is Music an Effective Remedy? (Part 1)
מַעֲדֶה בֶּגֶד בְּיוֹם קָרָה חֹמֶץ עַל נָתֶר וְשָׁר בַּשִּׁרִים עַל לֶב רָע:
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/18/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning another "triple comparison pasuk." This one was made difficult by our lack of knowledge about the second metaphor. Still, we managed to come up with two nice (and somewhat opposite) approaches. I'm very curious to see what the meforshim say about that mysterious mashal tomorrow.

Mishlei 17:20 - Crooked Hearts and Reversed Speech
עִקֶּשׁ לֵב לֹא יִמְצָא טוֹב וְנֶהְפָּךְ בִּלְשׁוֹנוֹ יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָה:
Length: 1 hour 23 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/16/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that felt simultaneously generic and specific. We came up with good approaches, some complete and some on their way there, but then I hit a wall of exhaustion (due to a short, interrupted sleep the night before). We quickly had to deploy my own approach that I developed with my high school students earlier that day. Because my mind was zonked, I don't know if I got it out clearly. We did one more interpretation from the meforshim, then called it a night even without review. Still good Mishlei, even if it wasn't up to par.

Mishlei 25:19 - On Unreliable Teeth, Feet, and Friends (Part 2)
שֵׁן רֹעָה וְרֶגֶל מוּעָדֶת מִבְטָח בּוֹגֵד בְּיוֹם צָרָה:
Length: 29 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/12/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we did a brief recap of yesterday's approaches, then started learning through the meforshim. First, Immanuel ha'Romi supported our take and provided two additional explanations. We speculated about our own derech nistar, but weren't entirely successful. I'm not sure whether we fully grasped Saadia Gaon, but we definitely learned a foundational idea from him. We concluded with the Meiri's derech nistar, which ended with a tzarich iyun. Still, a great haul!

Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the other meforshim have to say!

Mishlei 17:19 - Offense-Lovers, Door-Raisers, and Karens
אֹהֵב פֶּשַׁע אֹהֵב מַצָּה מַגְבִּיהַּ פִּתְחוֹ מְבַקֶּשׁ שָׁבֶר:
Length: 1 hour 58 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/9/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up an unusual pasuk that I had never learned before. Despite the weirdness of the pasuk's formlation, we came up with a nice variety of original interpretations, and then learned two completely different explanations from the meforshim - including the first ever "Mishlei: on Karens" from Ralbag! Yet another example of how Shlomo ha'Melech was familiar with OUR world, despite living thousands of years in the past. "That which was is that which will be, and that which was done is that which will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun" (Koheles 1:9).

Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/26/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we covered yesterday. I then shared my own take on the pasuk, which dovetailed nicely with the interpretation of the pesichta by Rabbi Uzi Kalheim. I had wanted to go over a second explanation from the Maor Einayim (R. Yoshiyahu Pinto - the one who lived from 1565–1648, not the one born in 1973), but we didn't have time. Still, I'm really happy with our approaches to Mishlei AND the fact that we came up with a solid approach for the pesichta, which we can now use to frame our reading of Megilas Esther!

Synopsis: This morning (2/25/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we took a break from our perek to learn a pasuk that we hope will shed light on Megilas Esther. On its surface, the pasuk addresses the effect of evil rulers on destitute people, but Reish Lakish uses it as an aggadic introduction to the Megilah. Today we developed our own approach and examined a few meforshim. Tomorrow, I’m hoping we’ll make headway on the midrash.

Length: 1 hour 27 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (2/23/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that, on its surface, seemed overly specific and rather bland. We didn’t even come up with our usual number of questions or problems. Yet after a few false starts, we developed some genuinely strong ideas and learned a great deal from the meforshim, including a banger of a Rabbeinu Yonah. It was a good reminder that even a “boring”-looking pasuk can contain remarkable insights.

Mishlei 25:18 - False Testimony as Weapon(s) (Part 2)
מֵפִיץ וְחֶרֶב וְחֵץ שָׁנוּן אִישׁ עֹנֶה בְרֵעֵהוּ עֵד שָׁקֶר:
Length: 29 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/19/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. After reviewing our questions and approaches, then speculating about a derech nistar (esoteric approach), we read through several meforshim. While none of them offered anything radically new, we appreciated the nuanced directions they took, which led to a few new insights. We capped it off with the derecho nistar of the Meiri, which (in my opinion) was superior to our approach.

Mishlei 25:18 - False Testimony as Weapon(s) (Part 1)
מֵפִיץ וְחֶרֶב וְחֵץ שָׁנוּן אִישׁ עֹנֶה בְרֵעֵהוּ עֵד שָׁקֶר:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/18/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning either a pasuk which may be characterized as either a very blunt or a very precise mashal. We raised more questions than I expected and came up with some really nice possibilities! Disconcertingly, our go-to meforshim had VERY little to say (unless you count Ralbag on the Aseres ha'Dibros). Hopefully, the lengthier meforshim will provide us with insights tomorrow.

Mishlei 17:17 - Friends vs. Family
בְּכׇל עֵת אֹהֵב הָרֵעַ וְאָח לְצָרָה יִוָּלֵד:
Length: 1 hour 39 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (2/16/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned an interesting pasuk about the difference between the love of friends and the reliability of family. The style of this pasuk was unusual and ... unsettling? We came up with a nice set of our own ideas - so many, in fact, that we didn't have as much time to explore the meforshim before the end of shiur. Even though I liked what we said, I still would have preferred to find a solid chiddush in the meforshim, like we usually do. Oh well! We love our meforshim at all times; they aren't just born for times of adversity.

Mishlei 25:16-17 - Don't Make Your Friend Vomit (Part 2)
(טז) דְּבַשׁ מָצָאתָ אֱכֹל דַּיֶּךָּ פֶּן תִּשְׂבָּעֶנּוּ וַהֲקֵאתוֹ.
(יז) הֹקַר רַגְלְךָ מִבֵּית רֵעֶךָ פֶּן יִשְׂבָּעֲךָ וּשְׂנֵאֶךָ:
Length: 36 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/12/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the main approach from yesterday. We delved a bit deeper into the derech nigleh, trying to understand exactly what makes a person sick of his friend's presence. But our main goal was to focus on the derech nistar, which I WISH we had more time to explore! I'm especially happy with the idea we learned from Zerachiah Chein.
Someone recently asked me whether I find new chidushim in Mishlei. The question had the vibe of, "Don't you get bored?" I answered that we ALWAYS find new chidushim and we rarely get to more than a handful of meforshim before we have to move on. This week was yet another example.

Synopsis: This morning (2/11/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pair of pesukim that might have been the inspiration for Ben Franklin's quip: "Guests, like fish, stink after three days." Shlomo ha'Melech's version, however, employs a gustatory mashal rather than an olfactory one. We developed one approach in-depth and a second approach after that. I'm most curious to see what the meforshim say tomorrow by way of the derech nistar.

Synopsis: This morning (2/5/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned through a TON of different meforshim on our pasuk. Some of them took it in similar directions to what we came up with yesterday. Others surprised us with their creativity. We came away with several nice ideas, but the surprising MVP was none other than Rashi!

We had some fruitful thoughts today, and I'm curious to see where our deeper analysis takes us tomorrow (בג"ה).

Mishlei 17:16 - The Fool Who Attempts to Buy Chochmah
לָמָּה זֶּה מְחִיר בְּיַד כְּסִיל לִקְנוֹת חׇכְמָה וְלֶב אָיִן:
Length: 1 hour 53 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (2/2/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that was NOT so familiar to me. To my surprise and delight, we came up with close to a DOZEN interpretations! We barely had time to learn any of the meforshim, since there were so many original interpretations. I'm sure that if we had time to delve into more meforshim, we'd see them taking similar approaches, but shiur was running late as it is, and we had to stop. At least there's more treasure next time we return to this pasuk!

Synopsis: This morning (1/29/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's ideas, and then we explored three new approaches from the meforshim. I can't say either of them was a qualitatively new idea, but the applications and nuances were different enough for me to feel like this was a good haul.

Synopsis: This morning (1/28/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning a "straight-up analogy" pasuk - one I've taught many times before. I'm already happy that we came up with a second "basic peshat," in addition to the one I usually teach. We also developed a few other approaches on our own and with some of the meforshim. Next time, I hope to discover something radically different. We'll see!

Mishlei 17:15 - A Couple of Abominations of Hashem
מַצְדִּיק רָשָׁע וּמַרְשִׁיעַ צַדִּיק תּוֹעֲבַת יְיָ גַּם שְׁנֵיהֶם:
Length:
Synopsis: This evening (1/26/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that many of our usual commentaries didn't comment on because it was too obvious. A notable exception was the commentary attributed to Radak, which simply said, "This is clear." Nevertheless, we spent a good 30 minutes raising questions and problems, and then we came up with a nice set of really good insights, then learned two additional explanations from the meforshim. I can't speak for others, but I didn't think they were obvious!

Mishlei 17:14 - When to Stop Interpersonal Quarrels
פּוֹטֵר מַיִם רֵאשִׁית מָדוֹן וְלִפְנֵי הִתְגַּלַּע הָרִיב נְטוֹשׁ:
Length: 1 hour 16 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (1/19/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk about interpersonal conflict that initially seemed a bit too obvious and direct. Thankfully, we were able to uncover several deeper insights, some original and some drawn from the meforshim. If you have ever had the displeasure of being involved in a conflict that spiraled in a bad way and want to avoid a repeat, this pasuk is for you!

Mishlei 17:13 - Mishleic Karma
מֵשִׁיב רָעָה תַּחַת טוֹבָה, לֹא [תָמוּשׁ] (תמיש) רָעָה מִבֵּיתוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (1/12/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we revisited a pasuk that I have taught many times in my high school Mishlei classes. As I had hoped, we not only rediscovered the core ideas I had previously emphasized, but also pushed beyond them, uncovering new nuances, fresh perspectives on familiar themes, and entirely new approaches, both practical and philosophical!

Mishlei 25:13 - The Cool Emissary (Part 2)
כְּצִנַּת שֶׁלֶג בְּיוֹם קָצִיר, צִיר נֶאֱמָן לְשֹׁלְחָיו וְנֶפֶשׁ אֲדֹנָיו יָשִׁיב:
Length: 37 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/8/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a quick review of yesterday's approaches, then moved on to the meforshim. We were pleased to see them echo our ideas, and to see how differently they took the central mashal. I'm excited to see how our theory of the "Anshei Chizkiyahu" chapters of Mishlei develops as we learn more from this section.

Synopsis: This morning (1/7/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we moved onto a new topic: shlichus! Our pasuk has a weird mashal and is structurally anomalous, but we were able to develop some fruitful approaches right away which coalesced into a unified approach with a couple of readily practical applications. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say!

Mishlei 17:12 - Better an Angry Bear Than a Foolish Fool
פָּגוֹשׁ דֹּב שַׁכּוּל בְּאִישׁ, וְאַל כְּסִיל בְּאִוַּלְתּוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 39 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (1/5/26), in our first Monday Night Mishlei shiur of 2026, we learned a pasuk that was simultaneously easy, fun, and chock-full of ideas. It was in this pasuk many years ago that I discovered an important principle of Mishlei methodology, one that dictated the entire shape of the shiur. But the real benefit of this pasuk is its practicality, which is rooted in a highly memorable mashal.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/25/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we covered yesterday. We found support for one of our approaches in the Ralbag. We then resumed working on Metzudas David and came up with a nice idea that built off of the previous pasuk. We then took up Saadia Gaon, which we found insightful but didn't completely understand. We concluded with the Ri Nachmias - a high-quality commentary that we often overlook. Great ideas, as always! We shall return to Mishlei in 2026 (בג"ה).

SPECIAL CHANUKAH DISCOUNT—EXTENDED THROUGH JANUARY 2026: I originally offered 50% off my paid Substack subscription for Chanukah ($5 per month, or $50 for a full year).

If the free articles, recordings, and shiurim I’ve shared this year have added real value to your learning and your life, and you’d consider them worth at least the price of a latte, this is a simple way to say “thank you.” You’re welcome to sign up, read, listen, or download whatever you’d like from behind the paywall, and then cancel so there’s no ongoing charge.

Mishlei 17:11 - The Fate of a Rebel Without a Cause
אַךְ מְרִי יְבַקֶּשׁ רָע, וּמַלְאָךְ אַכְזָרִי יְשֻׁלַּח בּוֹ :
Length: 1 hour 24 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (12/22/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk I was NOT very familiar with. Despite an unusually complicated-to-translate first half, we were able to develop several beautiful and practical ideas of our own. We were delighted to see connections to our previous pasuk, and even happier to see some of our ideas echoed in the meforshim. This was a rich pasuk which granted new layers of insight into the rebellious personality.

Mishlei 25:11 - Golden "Apples" in Silver Filigree (Part 4)
תַּפּוּחֵי זָהָב בְּמַשְׂכִּיּוֹת כָּסֶף דָּבָר דָּבֻר עַל אׇפְנָיו
Length: 34 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/18/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we spent one more day on this fundamental pasuk. We began with Metzudas David who (ironically!) we understood through the lens of the Rambam in the hakdamah of the Moreh (albeit different part). After going down a little rabbit hole about Chanukah, we did a quick overview of Saadia Gaon's commentary, just to get the flavor, then learned Ralbag and Malbim. I'm sure there's a lot more to cover in this pasuk, but that'll have to wait until next time.

Mishlei 25:11 - Golden "Apples" in Silver Filigree (Part 3)
תַּפּוּחֵי זָהָב בְּמַשְׂכִּיּוֹת כָּסֶף דָּבָר דָּבֻר עַל אׇפְנָיו
Length: 40 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/17/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of this fundamental pasuk. We began by reviewing the Rambam we read last time, using a different translation. We gained some additional clarity, but came away with more questions than answers - particularly with our efforts to square the Rambam's words here with reality AND with his statements elsewhere! We concluded by reading the Metzudas David, whose translation of our pasuk differs radically from any of the translations we've been working with.

Mishlei 17:10 - Frightening Rebuke and Thorough Beatings
תֵּחַת גְּעָרָה בְמֵבִין מֵהַכּוֹת כְּסִיל מֵאָה:
Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (12/15/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned another pasuk that used to be part of my high school Mishlei curriculum. I knew we'd arrive at some solid ideas; the question was whether we'd see any NEW insights. I'm pleased to report that we did! We developed a few approaches of our own and learned some excellent ideas from the meforshim, including a side-idea on the parashah from R. Avraham ben ha'Rambam! As usual, all the ideas we learned were practical, and accompanied by real-world examples. We might even gain some more insight next week, since many meforshim learn 17:10-11 as a pair. I guess we'll see!

Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/11/25), in our shorter-than-usual Morning Mishlei shiur, we spent the first half reviewing and refining yesterday's ideas, and the second half reading through the Rambam's understanding of our pasuk in the introduction to the Moreh ha'Nevuchim. Although we picked up on some nice points over the course of our reading, we didn't have time to analyze it in-depth. That will have to wait until next week (בג"ה).

Length: 4 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/10/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began analyzing what is arguably one of the most important pesukim in Mishlei - at least, according to the Rambam. I've referenced this pasuk dozens of times but haven't yet given a shiur on it. This morning, after a more-extensive-than-usual deep-dive into translation, we began our analysis. We came up with two distinct approaches and didn't even get to the meforshim. Due to the importance of this pasuk, we will likely devote more than one session to it.

Mishlei 17:9 - How to Make, Keep, and Ruin Friendships
מְכַסֶּה פֶּשַׁע מְבַקֵּשׁ אַהֲבָה וְשֹׁנֶה בְדָבָר מַפְרִיד אַלּוּף:
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (12/8/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that featured some bizarre wording. Fortunately for us, this one had a lot of "ins" and we quickly developed several of our own approaches before learning two approaches from the meforshim. Unfortunately, we had to end shiur before learning the many other viable approaches the meforshim had to offer. So much Mishlei to learn, and so little time to learn it.

Mishlei 25:9-10 - Why You Shouldn't Fight Dirty (Part 2)
(ט) רִיבְךָ רִיב אֶת רֵעֶךָ וְסוֹד אַחֵר אַל תְּגָל. (י) פֶּן יְחַסֶּדְךָ שֹׁמֵעַ וְדִבָּתְךָ לֹא תָשׁוּב:
Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/4/25), in our shorter-than-usual Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued reviewing the approaches from yesterday, drawing additional support and nuance from the Rishonim. The only truly new approach we tackled was Saadia Gaon, who begins with a highly structured reading of the pasuk in the nigleh, then turns to the nistar. Since I had not prepared this ahead of time, I may have gotten some points wrong. Still, his approach is intriguing, and there is value in what we covered, even if my presentation was imperfect.

Synopsis: This morning (12/3/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the sequel to the previous pasuk. First, Mishlei told us not to be quick to get into a fight. Now, Mishlei is telling us what not to do once we're in a fight. We came up with several of our own interpretations today, then learned Metzudas David's. Tomorrow we'll see what the other meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/26/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning the pasuk we started last week (but were delayed, no thanks to Sigmund Freud and stowaway sardines). After a comprehensive we review, we started learning through meforshim. No MAJOR breakthroughs, but some nice clarifications and further developments of the approaches we touched on in part 1.

Length: 1 hour 36 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/24/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk I've taught dozens of times. Despite its atypical structure, I consider this to be an excellent "starter pasuk" for people new to Mishlei. I knew we'd come up with great ideas. My only question was how many NEW insights we'd gain. Thank God, we came away with several! The analysis, the insights, and the examples were all great, and I'm confident that if we had more time, we'd learn even more. I guess that'll have to wait until next time!

Synopsis: This morning (11/20/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned another "straight-up advice" pasuk (the genre that seems to pick up in frequency in the final book of Mishlei). Once again, we were pleasantly surprised by how much analysis the pasuk leant itself to, despite being so straightforward. We came up with two approaches today, and I look forward to exploring the meforshim tomorrow (בג"ה).

Mishlei 17:7 - Societal Standing and Speech Incongruity
עֲטֶרֶת זְקֵנִים בְּנֵי בָנִים וְתִפְאֶרֶת בָּנִים אֲבוֹתָם:
Length: 1 hour 41 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/17/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk with distinct translation crossroads. We came up with several nice approaches on our own, then turned to the meforshim who provided us with refreshingly different approaches! All the ideas were practical, and some in a high-stakes way. Great learning as always, even though we were missing some of our usual crew.

Mishlei 25:6-7 - Self-Destructive Self-Promotion (Part 2)
(ו) אַל תִּתְהַדַּר לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ וּבִמְקוֹם גְּדֹלִים אַל תַּעֲמֹד.(ז) כִּי טוֹב אֲמׇר לְךָ עֲלֵה הֵנָּה מֵהַשְׁפִּילְךָ לִפְנֵי נָדִיב אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ:
Length: 29 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/13/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pesukim. After a quick review, we learned through four commentaries. Some of these contributed minor nuances whereas others yielded entirely new approaches. I wish we had more time for even more meforshim, but such are the limitations of my typical Thursday schedule this year.

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/12/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a new genre of Mishlei pesukim which is quite common in Chapters 25-29. I call "straight-up advice." No mashalim, no cryptic wording, no riddles - just proverbs telling you what to do and why. My question going into this was whether there would be any correlation between the style of presentation and the quality or depth of the ideas. Judging by this morning's analysis, the answer seems to be in the negative. We had just as many questions here as we usually do, and the ideas we developed felt completely Mishleic. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 17:6 - Mishlei on Intergenerational Pride (and Ibn Kaspi's Rant About Wanting to Have Kids)
עֲטֶרֶת זְקֵנִים בְּנֵי בָנִים וְתִפְאֶרֶת בָּנִים אֲבוֹתָם:
Length: 1 hour 48 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/10/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we had a WILD RIDE! The pasuk itself was intriguing, and we came up with some nice ideas. But the real shock of the night was one of the most jaw-dropping commentaries I've ever seen from Ibn Kaspi. Even the readers of my substack who are familiar with his acerbic tongue will be flabbergasted by the content and tone of his tirade. I'll say in all seriousness that if you're struggling to have kids, then I honestly don't know whether you SHOULD or SHOULDN'T listen to this shiur. Ditto for those hoping to become grandparents.

Mishlei 25:4-5 - The Silver Refining Principle/Fallacy (Part 2)
(ד) הָגוֹ סִיגִים מִכָּסֶף וַיֵּצֵא לַצֹּרֵף כֶּלִי.(ה) הָגוֹ רָשָׁע לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ וְיִכּוֹן בַּצֶּדֶק כִּסְאוֹ.
Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/6/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we analyzed the couplet of pesukim we only barely touched yesterday (no thanks to of Mamdani). That, combined with the fact that we only had 30 minutes, prompted me to keep the pace moving. Still, we came up with several approaches of our own, and learned a few from the meforshim. I also shared my own approach, which is example of an important principle in Mishlei methodology.

We managed to raise all the major questions on our couplet of pesukim. Tomorrow we'll delve into our own ideas and some of the meforshim.

Length: 1 hours 32 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/3/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned an EXTREMELY rich pasuk, overflowing with ideas. After quickly developing our own approaches, we learned through FIVE ideas from the meforshim. So abundant-in-ideas was this pasuk that I'm considering continuing our analysis of it next week. We'll see!

Synopsis: This morning (10/30/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we quickly reviewed yesterday's three approaches, which we supplemented and developed with words of the meforshim (and with testimony from a NYS government official). We then learned three NEW approaches from other meforshim. All in all, it was a surprisingly rich pasuk, given how straightforward it initially seemed!

Well, according to Shlomo ha'Melech, maybe you're not qualified! We came up with two of our own approaches to our pasuk, then learned Metzudas David's. Tomorrow we'll see what the other meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 17:4 - What the Evildoer and Man-of-Falsehood Listen To

Length: 1 hour 42 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (10/27/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, nearly every word or phrase in our pasuk was unusual. After we got our bearings and asked all the questions, we came up with several really nice ideas (some of which read more naturally than others) and learned two additional great ideas from the meforshim.

Mishlei 17:3 - The Crucible of the Heart
מַצְרֵף לַכֶּסֶף וְכוּר לַזָּהָב וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת יְיָ:
Length: 1 hour 31 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/29/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up another pasuk that formed a core part of my high school curriculum. Like the past two weeks, this made me worried that we wouldn't discover any new ideas. And, like the last two weeks, I was pleasantly surprised! After raising 17 questions on the pasuk, we came up with four theories of our own, then learned three explanations from the meforshim. Many of these happened to be relevant to the period of Aseres Ymei Teshuvah and the upcoming Yom ha'Kippurim. So if you're looking for some Mishlei to get you ready for the ultimate "apex of atonement" (Rambam - Hilchos Teshuvah 2:6), be sure to check out this shiur!

Mishlei 25:1-2 - Kavod Elohim vs. Kavod Melachim (Part 2)
גַּם אֵלֶּה מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה אֲשֶׁר הֶעְתִּיקוּ אַנְשֵׁי חִזְקִיָּה מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה:
כְּבֹד אֱלֹהִים הַסְתֵּר דָּבָר וּכְבֹד מְלָכִים חֲקֹר דָּבָר:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/26/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning the first two pesukim of Mishlei Chapter 25 after a few days off. After reviewing and refining what we came up with last time, we focused on Malbim and Rashi (!), who take this pasuk to be about metaphysics and other areas of Torah that ought to be concealed. We spent the rest of shiur developing these ideas, recruiting other non-Mishlei commentators like the Rambam and Ramban. It'll be interesting to see how "Mishleic" in their subject matter the pesukim in Chapter 25+ feel going forward. Either way, I'm sure the ideas will be good!

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/22/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new chapter AND a whole new section of Mishlei! After briefly getting the peshat of the introductory 25:1, we analyzed 25:2, which is stylistically different from most of the Mishlei we've learned over the past 4+ years (as will be the case for the remainder of the sefer). We came up with a few half-baked approaches, one of which was solid. I shared my own intuition which ended up being supported by Metzudas David, and the other solid approach was similar to what the Ralbag said. I'm curious to see what we find in the other meforshim, but we'll have to wait until after Rosh ha'Shanah for that.

Mishlei 15:33 - Mishlei's Definition of Yiras Hashem (Part 2)
יִרְאַת יְיָ מוּסַר חׇכְמָה וְלִפְנֵי כָבוֹד עֲנָוָה:
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/18/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we ended up going in a different direction than I anticipated. As usual, we started with a review of yesterday's findings, adding some points here and there for clarification. We then took another stab at elucidating Metzudas David, and although we gained greater clarity, we still didn't manage to figure him out. We then read a huge paradigm-proposing peirush from the Malbim which we attempted to work out. This led us to review one of my favorite passages in Saadia Gaon's introduction, which in turn, led to a discussion of what Mishlei is doing, how it's doing it, and what "mussar" and "tochachah" are in Malbim's lingo. Sadly, we didn't have time to complete our analysis of the Malbim. All in all, we had some great ideas, but no conclusions beyond yesterday's excellent ideas.

Mishlei 15:33 - Mishlei's Definition of Yiras Hashem (Part 1)
יִרְאַת יְיָ מוּסַר חׇכְמָה וְלִפְנֵי כָבוֹד עֲנָוָה:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/17/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned what I consider to be one of the most important pesukim in Sefer Mishlei. If I had to name the subject of Sefer Mishlei, I'd say it's yiras Hashem (as indicated in 1:7), and our pasuk defines yiras Hashem according to Mishlei. In elucidating this, we also defined the levels of yirah below and above Mishlei. The main idea we came up with, reflected in Saadia Gaon, presents one of the best arguments for why we all need to learn Mishlei. We even came up with a second interpretation that provides a nice mechanism for taking what comes at you in life and turning it into a source of insight and benefit. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll delve into the meforshim.

Length: 1 hour 42 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/15/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk that I was worried was too obvious. We ended up raising eighteen (!) question on it, then came up with eight approaches on our own and learned four interpretations from the classical commentaries. I was pleased with the diversity of approaches and applications, considering the highly specific scenario described in the pasuk. We even concluded with an idea that will prove instrumental to doing teshuvah!

Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/11/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a quick review of what we covered yesterday, including a more developed analysis of Ralbag, in which we reviewed some fundamental ideas about why perfection of middos is a prerequisite for perfection of intellect. Since my shiur today had to be cut short, we only had time to explore two additional commentaries: Immanuel ha'Romi and Malbim. Even though we didn't get to fully develop those approaches, we still gleaned some nice insights!

Synopsis: This morning (9/10/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that was clearly connected to the theme of the local cluster. On the surface, it seemed obvious, but we soon got a foothold that led to a real chidush in mussar! We then turned to Metzudas David, which we didn't figure out, then Rabbeinu Yonah, where we got another idea, and finally Ralbag, where we saw another path. Tomorrow we'll see what the other meforshim have to say! (בג"ה)

Mishlei 17:1 - A Dry Piece of Bread vs. a House Filled with Meat
טוֹב פַּת חֲרֵבָה וְשַׁלְוָה בָהּ, מִבַּיִת מָלֵא זִבְחֵי רִיב:
Length: 1 hour 42 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/8/25), in the first Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the 2025–2026 season, we began Chapter 17. The challenge was that I’ve given so many classes on so many pesukim in this chapter that I knew it would be hard to find chidushim (new ideas) I hadn’t seen before. Thankfully, we had a powerhouse crew tonight, consisting of longtime Mishlei students alongside new faces, and we managed to come up with nine original interpretations, plus two more from the meforshim. Suffice it to say, it was a good haul, and we learned both great ideas and core Mishlei methodology! If you’re looking to introduce someone to Mishlei, this shiur makes an excellent starting point!

Mishlei 15:31 - How Non-Chachamim Can Get Into the Chachamim Club (Part 2)
אֹזֶן שֹׁמַעַת תּוֹכַחַת חַיִּים, בְּקֶרֶב חֲכָמִים תָּלִין:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/5/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the questions and approaches from yesterday, refining some and discarding others. Then we delved into the meforshim, learning a TON of fundamental ideas: from Rabbeinu Yonah, Malbim, Metzudas David, Ralbag, and our NEW friend, Immanuel ha'Romi! Not only was this shiur an excellent sample of what it's like to learn Mishlei, but it also happened to be a great "advertisement" for WHY we all need to learn Mishlei on a regular basis!

Synopsis: This morning (9/4/25), in our first Morning Mishlei shiur of the 2025-2026 yeshiva year, we picked up where we left off in June. This one happens to be a favorite of my rebbi, Rabbi Moskowitz zt"l. Since my schedule this year necessitates a shorter Thursday shiur slot, we only had time for the questions and initial approaches. Tomorrow we'll delve into the meforshim, בג"ה.

Mishlei 16:1 - From Hashem is the Tongue's Reply (Part 2)
לְאָדָם מַעַרְכֵי לֵב, וּמֵיְיָ מַעֲנֵה לָשׁוֹן:
Length: 1 hour 1 minutes
Synopsis: This afternoon (7/24/25), we continued our analysis of the pasuk we began yesterday. After a quick review and some elaboration on Saadia Gaon, I shared my interpretation, which we examined through three sources: (1) Meiri’s commentary on Mishlei 10:3, (2) the chapter of Moreh ha’Nevuchim that Rambam considered most important to pay attention to, and (3) the commentary of R’ Sheishes ben Yitzchak Gerondi on our pasuk. As usual, we covered some fundamental methodological points along the way and (I hope) walked away with a few eminently practical ideas.

I’ll begin by uploading all 600+ of my Mishlei shiurim, including shiurim on every pasuk in chapters 10–14, 16, and 18–24, as well as most of chapter 15 and assorted other pesukim. After that, I’ll upload my other shiurim. For now, if you—or anyone you know—are interested in my Mishlei shiurim, you can find them at:

Mishlei 16:1 - From Hashem is the Tongue's Reply (Part 1)
לְאָדָם מַעַרְכֵי לֵב, וּמֵיְיָ מַעֲנֵה לָשׁוֹן:
Length: 1 hour 2 minutes
Synopsis: This afternoon (7/23/25), in an unexpected plot twist, I was asked to give a two-part SUMMER Mishlei shiur! I chose the one pasuk from Chapter 16 that we skipped this year. Since this was a special shiur with some Mishleic neophytes, I decided to be a bit more explicit about Mishlei methodology than usual. We began by translating the pasuk, raising all the questions, and then developing our own theories. One of those theories lined up with Saadia Gaon’s commentary, so we pivoted to analyzing that instead. Tomorrow, after a quick review, I’ll share my own interpretation and the meforshim who led me there.

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/12/25), in our last morning Mishlei shiur of the season, we began by reviewing yesterday's approaches, then delved into the peshat approach given by Rashi (!) and the Rid (!!), supported by the Rambam (!!!). After that, we took another swing at Metzudas David, and concluded with a quick read-through of the Malbim and some final words from Aristotle's Metaphysics.
I can't believe it's been FIVE YEARS since I started giving regular post-HS Mishlei shiurim and recording them! Unlike the past few years, I'm going to take a break from Mishlei shiurim over the summer. God willing, we'll resume in September. I hope you keep learning Mishlei on your own, and if you do, I'm always game to discuss a pasuk!

Synopsis: This morning (6/11/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took up a pasuk which I anticipated to be difficult, due to the unfamiliar (and possibly outdated) references in the pasuk. Fortunately, we were able to develop at least one nice approach. We concluded by reading Metzudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah in preparation for tomorrow, which will be our final shiur of the 2024-2025 season.

Mishlei 15:29 - Mishlei's Advice for Getting Your Tefilah Heard (Part 2)

Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/29/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began with my own take on the pasuk, which overlapped several of the explanations from yesterday. We then learned some meforshim which ALSO overlapped yesterday's explanations, before doing a somewhat deep-dive into the Meiri's understanding of the word תפילה. We concluded with R' Sheishes's practical idea about tefilah, paired with an excerpt from R' Eliezer Berkovitz on tefilas shav. All in all, I was delighted to see how my favorite subject of Mishlei was able to shed light on one of my other favorite subjects: tefilah!

Synopsis: This morning (5/28/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took up one of only three pesukim in Mishlei that explicitly reference tefilah. The problem with this pasuk is glaring: it seems SUPER obvious! To my surprise and delight, we came up with a ton of questions, and also managed to develop several fruitful approaches. Looking forward to seeing what the meforshim have to say tomorrow (בג"ה)!

After reviewing the questions and approaches from yesterday, we delved into the meforshim, taking up questions of methodology along the way. Although we didn't FULLY develop any of the new approaches, we discussed them enough to find practical takeaways.

Mishlei 15:28 - The Utterances of the Tzadik and Rasha (Part 1)
לֵב צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה לַעֲנוֹת וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יַבִּיעַ רָעוֹת:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/21/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that I've never learned before! We spent a longer-than-usual time trying to pin down the most accurate translation, especially on account of the differences between the Masoretic text and another tradition (reflected in the Targum, Septuagint, and Syriac texts). After raising our usual amount of questions, we spent the rest of the time developing our own theories. Tomorrow, we'll see what the meforshim have to say!

Mishlei 16:33 - Does Hashem Determine Who Wins the Lottery?
בַּחֵיק יוּטַל אֶת הַגּוֹרָל, וּמֵיְיָ כׇּל מִשְׁפָּטוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 18 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (5/19/25), in the last Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the 2024-2025 season, we concluded the 16th perek of Mishlei with a whopper of a pasuk! I was glad to see that I wasn't the only one who was bothered by the anomalous and theologically difficult nature of the statement. We came up with more questions than I anticipated, and more ideas as well. After sharing my own approach which I supported with the Rambam and the GRA, we learned Rabbeinu Yonah's context-based approach, then called it a night. This was a great year of Mishlei learning, and I look forward to resuming towards the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year (בג"ה).

Mishlei 15:27 - One Who Hates [Qatari] Gifts Will Live (Part 2)
עֹכֵר בֵּיתוֹ בּוֹצֵעַ בָּצַע, וְשׂוֹנֵא מַתָּנֹת יִחְיֶה:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/15/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began with an addendum to our translation of yesterday's pasuk. We then reviewed the approaches we took yesterday, learning through similar explanations in the meforshim. I then shared the approach of my rebbi, Rabbi Moskowitz zt"l, based on Rashi. We concluded by raising a question on the approach taken by the majority of the meforshim, but were happily sidetracked by my favorite Rambam in Sefer Zera'im. If you have other thoughts on this fruitful pasuk, please let me know!

Synopsis: This morning (5/14/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a famous pasuk. (Well, the second half, anyway.) Not only that, but I'd bet money on the fact that this pasuk applies to current events involving POTUS. We spent a good deal of time raising over a dozen questions on our pasuk, then developed a few nice approaches. Tomorrow, we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 16:32 - Better Than Strength and the Capture of Cities
טוֹב אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם מִגִּבּוֹר, וּמֹשֵׁל בְּרוּחוֹ מִלֹּכֵד עִיר:
Length: 1 hour 18 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (5/12/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk I have taught many times because it so perfectly embodies Mishlei's fundamental approach to mussar and ethical development. We set out to see if we could find NEW ideas, and we did, but I ended up going over Rabbeinu Yonah's idea just the same. If you'd like to understand why Mishlei is so successful OR if you've ever struggled with anger and vengeance, then this is a pasuk for you.

Mishlei 15:26 - Abominably Evil Thoughts and Purely Pleasant Statements (Part 2)
תּוֹעֲבַת יְ־הֹוָה מַחְשְׁבוֹת רָע וּטְהֹרִים אִמְרֵי נֹעַם:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/8/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued analyzing yesterday's pasuk. Our main focus was on the Malbim's creative read, which led us into a topic in this week's parashah: "Do not hate your brother in your heart" (Vayikra 19:17). After discussing the halachos and applications, as codified by the Rambam, we returned to our pasuk and learned the commentary of two Geronans: Rabbeinu Yonah and Rabbeinu Sheishes ben Yitzchak. Another great haul!

Synopsis: This morning (5/7/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which SOME people thought was obvious. We raised a bunch of questions, came up with several approaches, discussed their real world applications, then read Metzudas David, who seems to support our approaches. Looking forward to seeing what the other meforshim have to say!

Synopsis: This evening (5/5/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned an unusual pasuk - unusual both in its structure and in the specificity of its message. Our analysis flowed smoothly, and we came away with four or five solid ideas. If you plan on getting old - and want it to go well - this pasuk is for you!

Mishlei 15:25 - Haughty Houses and Helpless Widows (Part 2)
בֵּית גֵּאִים יִסַּח יְיָ וְיַצֵּב גְּבוּל אַלְמָנָה:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/1/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we covered yesterday, with some new facts, observations, and insights sprinkled in. After an attempt at a new original interpretation, we turned to the meforshim: first, Metzudas David, then Rabbeinu Yonah, and then the Meiri's derech nistar (which we didn't have time to analyze). Although we got a nice new idea from Rabbeinu Yonah, I think what we came up with yesterday was the ikkar. Great pasuk all around!

Of the many questions we raised on this morning's pasuk, the main ones had to do with the incongruity and the mechanics. We developed some really nice approaches which we fleshed out with real-world examples, and picked up on some nice methodology along the way. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll delve into the meforshim.

The pasuk had some strange words, but we came up with several nice (and integrated!) approaches on our own, then learned two juicy ideas from the meforshim. If you ever face people who plot even OR if you have some not-so-wholesome thoughts yourself, then this pasuk is for you!

The total cost of producing my five podcasts in 2024 came to $1,455—an expense I would have otherwise had to cover myself. I’m deeply grateful to the generous sponsors who helped shoulder that cost and supported my efforts to make Torah ideas available and accessible to everyone.

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (4/3/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed the approaches from yesterday, then started learning through the meforshim. We began with Rashi (oddly enough), who didn't disappoint, then followed our usual pecking order of Metzudas David, Rabbeinu Yonah, Meiri, and R' Sheishes. We didn't get EVERYTHING, but we still learned some nice ideas and practiced some critical methodology.

Length: 43 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (4/2/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a new pasuk - one which is more abstract and more fraught with translation-nuance questions than any in recent memory. After attempting to ask and formulate all the questions (which was a bit more involved than usual), we came up with some nice ideas! I'm really looking forward to seeing what the meforshim say tomorrow (בג"ה).

Length: 1 hour 38 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/31/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, the pasuk we learned yielded a TON of questions. Thankfully, we were able to come up with a number of different approaches, and learned a couple more from the meforshim. Despite the rather extreme subject of the pasuk, the ideas we learned ended up being relevant and practical.

Mishlei 15:23 - The Joy/Trap of Hearing Your Own Voice (Part 2)
שִׂמְחָה לָאִישׁ בְּמַעֲנֵה פִיו וְדָבָר בְּעִתּוֹ מַה טּוֹב:
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/27/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's ideas, adding some examples and methodology points along the way. Then we took up the GINORMOUS Meiri, spanning our pasuk and the previous one, which included several explanations. The interpretations he gave were great, but at the end of the day, ALL the approaches to our pasuk - his and ours - boiled down to the same fundamental insight. Personally, I found that to be rather refreshing!

Synopsis: This morning (3/26/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk about a phenomenon we've all experienced and witnessed: people loving the sound of their own voice. We defined the basic idea, then proceeded to discover application after application, on our own and in the meforshim we consulted. Will we succeed in finding a greater chidush? That remains to be seen tomorrow! (בג"ה)

Mishlei 16:28 - The Complainer and the Apple Man (Yes, I Will Call Him That)

Length: 1 hour 38 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/24/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a VERY difficult pasuk featuring two highly specific Mishleic archetypes which don't get nearly enough coverage: the ish tahpuchos and the nirgan. The questions on the pasuk were deceptively straightforward, but when we attempted to learn it, we got several 80% explanations which we just couldn't develop into full ideas. We finally managed to bring one idea across the finish line, but it was a real work out!

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!

Mishlei 16:27 - The Bliyaal Reexamined
אִישׁ בְּלִיַּעַל כֹּרֶה רָעָה וְעַל [שְׂפָתוֹ] (שפתיו) כְּאֵשׁ צָרָבֶת:
Length: 1 hour 32 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/17/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we revisited one of Mishlei’s lesser-known archetypes: the bliyaal. We had been working with a specific translation for the past few years but discovered a couple more tonight. To our surprise, these turned out to be more unified than they initially seemed. We developed a few ideas of our own and explored a couple more from the meforshim. More work remains to fully comprehend this elusive Mishleic character, but analyses like this advance our understanding.

Mishlei 16:26 - Toiling Soul Something Something Mouth
נֶפֶשׁ עָמֵל עָמְלָה לּוֹ, כִּי אָכַף עָלָיו פִּיהוּ:
Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/10/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up one of the most difficult-to-translate pesukim in recent memory! Even after going through several translations and minimalist meforshim, we felt no closer to forming our own view on how to READ the pasuk, let alone explain it. But this provided us with a unique opportunity to practice learning a pasuk we couldn't confidently read. Miraculously, nearly everyone in the shiur arrived at a similar idea - each with a different nuance - and this enabled us to make sense of what the pasuk was saying. We then learned three additional ideas from the meforshim. All in all, it was a rich yield, considering the difficulty we faced at first!

Mishlei 15:21 - Mishleic Heartlessness, Understanding, and Happiness (Part 2)
אִוֶּלֶת שִׂמְחָה לַחֲסַר לֵב וְאִישׁ תְּבוּנָה יְיַשֶּׁר לָכֶת:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/6/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's approaches, but instead of returning to Metzudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah, we developed an approach I came up with based on Ralbag and Hoil Moshe. After that, we developed another original approach, then learned the Malbim's explanation and concluded with the Meiri. This ended up being a REALLY insightful pasuk with many real-world applications!

Mishlei 16:25 - How to Avoid the Paths of Death ... Again?!
יֵשׁ דֶּרֶךְ יָשָׁר לִפְנֵי אִישׁ וְאַחֲרִיתָהּ דַּרְכֵי מָוֶת:
Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (3/3/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that seems really obvious AND which I've taught many times in my high school Mishlei classes. For these reasons, I was worried we wouldn't come up with any chidushim (new insights) tonight. My worries were compounded when I realized that this exact same pasuk showed up two chapters earlier, and I gave shiur on it on 12/24/23! Thankfully, we came up with some really nice ideas AND reviewed the old ones!

Synopsis: This morning (2/27/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we covered yesterday. Then we learned through the commentaries of Metzudas David, R' Sheishes ben Yitzchak, and Rabbeinu Yonah. We came up with some really nice practical ideas, several of which exemplified Mishlei's unique approach for dealing with counterproductive emotions.

Synopsis: This morning (2/26/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a NEW section in Mishlei (at least, according to R' Sheishes ben Yitzchak). This pasuk bears a striking resemblance to the introductory pasuk of "Mishlei proper," in 10:1. We came up with some nice ideas of our own and read Metzudas David's commentary. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll attempt to define Metzudas David's idea, then see what the other meforshim have to say.

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!

Synopsis: This morning (2/19/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we revisited one of the most important Mishleic archetypes: the atzel (lazy person). After encountering a surprising degree of difficulty in reading and translating the pasuk, we reviewed Saadia Gaon's definition of Mishleic laziness and discussed its implications. We only had time to venture one interpretation of our pasuk before we had to end shiur. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 15:18 - To Stoke or Silence Strife (Part 2)
אִישׁ חֵמָה יְגָרֶה מָדוֹן, וְאֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם יַשְׁקִיט רִיב:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/13/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we had a different kind of "Mishlei Part 2" shiur than we usually do. I was bothered yesterday by the lack of specificity in our approaches. My Mishleic intuition told me that we were hovering around the general topic, but hadn't yet discovered the chidush (novel insight). We engaged in a VERY in-depth review of what we covered and ended up hitting a goldmine of insight into the nature of interpersonal conflict. While I'm still not sure whether we ended up with a complete explanation of the pasuk itself, that's almost unimportant to me. I feel like we really leveled up in our understanding of this (unfortunately) important topic, and I'm already eager for the next pasuk about strife, whenever that may be!

Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/12/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began analyzing a new pasuk on what appears to be a new topic. We quickly encountered the challenge that crops up in Mishlei quite often: a seemingly obvious statement about an exceedingly broad topic. While it was relatively easy to come up with insights about the relevant phenomena, we had difficulty pinning down the scope of the topic in our pasuk, or even the decision-making scenario. We'll attempt again tomorrow with the help of the meforshim (בג"ה).

Mishlei 16:24 - Chochmah as Honeycomb
צוּף דְּבַשׁ אִמְרֵי נֹעַם, מָתוֹק לַנֶּפֶשׁ וּמַרְפֵּא לָעָצֶם:
Length: 1 hour 9 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (2/10/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk featuring a curious metaphor. I was actually surprised by how quickly the idea flowed tonight. We came up with a couple of approaches on our own and learned a few from the meforshim. Many of the practical applications we discussed pertained to pedagogy. Next time, it appears we'll be moving on to an entirely new topic. Hope to see you then!

Mishlei 15:17 - Salad with Love vs. Hate-filled Bull (Part 2)
טוֹב אֲרֻחַת יָרָק וְאַהֲבָה שָׁם מִשּׁוֹר אָבוּס וְשִׂנְאָה בוֹ:
Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/6/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing wand refining what we covered yesterday. We then spent the rest of the time learning the several explanations given by the Meiri - some of which were nigleh and some of which were nistar. We didn't fully develop all the ideas, but we learned enough to make them actionable. Juicy ideas, as always! Felt like more than a humble salad.

We developed a few approaches which focused on enjoyment and a couple more that focused on objective good. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Length: 1 hour 9 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (2/3/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which seemed almost exactly like the one we learned two weeks ago. Much to our delight, we came up with six ideas - three of our own and three from the meforshim! Lots of practical applications all around, all of which have to do with learning and teaching.

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/30/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's ideas and comparing them with meforshim who took similar approaches. I'm glad we spent a good deal of time discussing practical applications. At the very end, we speculated on what the Meiri might say for his derech nistar, and then we read what he actually said. Great pasuk, especially if you're planning on trying to get rich!

Synopsis: This morning (1/29/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which clearly has SOMETHING to do with the relationship between yiras Hashem and wealth. Figuring out what it's talking about and what it's teaching us was a bit trickier. We came up with 2-3 approaches, and (בג"ה) we'll delve into the meforshim tomorrow.

Mishlei 16:22 - How Fools Relate to the Fountainhead of Life
מְקוֹר חַיִּים שֵׂכֶל בְּעָלָיו וּמוּסַר אֱוִלִים אִוֶּלֶת:
Length: 1 hour 23 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (1/27/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a surprisingly difficult pasuk about what seems to be the bread and butter of Mishlei: how fools relate to intelligence and mussar. We came up with three approaches on our own, then learned Rabbeinu Yonah's (after not getting anywhere with Metzudas David). The pasuk ended up being relevant to everyone in more ways than usual, and left us with a useful metaphor which can help apply this idea to our lives.

Mishlei 15:15 - How to Party Constantly (Part 2)
כׇּל יְמֵי עָנִי רָעִים, וְטוֹב לֵב מִשְׁתֶּה תָמִיד:
Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/16/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed the approaches we came up with yesterday, developed one more approach, then got to work on the meforshim. We explored two out of the three "camps": one which held that our pasuk was about sameach b'chelko, and the other which held that it was about wealth and poverty of knowledge. Although our focus was more on a bekius overview of these ideas than our usual iyun, we still came away with some valuable, practical insights.

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).

Mishlei 16:21 - How to Become a Navon

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (1/13/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that was both syntactically awkward and somewhat of a non sequitur. Despite only having a few people in shiur, we managed to come up with some nice approaches. The real shock came when we realized that all three of the "go to" meforshim we learned ended up on the same page with the same takeaway lesson, which is a rarity! I'd tell you what I'm most happy about with this idea, but that would be a spoiler (unless you regard the entire shiur as a spoiler)!

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/9/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the excellent approaches people came up with yesterday, supplying examples which clarified and refined them. We then did a full analysis of Metzudas David, a partial analysis of Rabbeinu Yonah, and a tantalizing read-through of Malbim's. It was a great pasuk with an interesting type of common theme, despite the different ways of reading and translating the pasuk!

Mishlei 15:14 - Seeking Knowledge vs. Snacking on Foolishness (Part 1)
לֵב נָבוֹן יְבַקֶּשׁ דָּעַת [וּפִי] (ופני) כְסִילִים יִרְעֶה אִוֶּלֶת:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/8/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that seemed obvious in its first half and ... strange and ambiguous in its second half. We came up with some nice ideas, and picked up some nice Mishlei methodology along the way! Tomorrow (בג"ה), we'll delve into the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:20 - The Relationship Between Intelligent Planning and Bitachon (Trust in Hashem)
מַשְׂכִּיל עַל דָּבָר יִמְצָא טוֹב, וּבוֹטֵחַ בַּי"י אַשְׁרָיו:
Length: 1 hour 19 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (1/6/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we were down to a skeleton crew - with nearly all of our regulars MIA - but we managed to have a great shiur nonetheless! This was an unusual pasuk: the first half seems way too obvious to even be mentioned, but the second half is about one of the deepest and most important topics in our relationship to Hashem. We managed to come up with some nice ideas on our own and with the help of the meforshim. I'll leave it to viewers/listeners to determine whether these ideas are chiddushim, but the perspectives that emerged were definitely revelatory for me!

Mishlei 15:13 - Happy Faces and Sad Hearts (Part 2)

Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/2/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we did a quick review of yesterday's ideas, then - in an unexpected plot twist - learned RASHI! This led to a discussion of what it means to have a relationship with God. After that, we learned Ralbag, who talked about the importance of our emotional/mental health in our learning, and we concluded with Saadia Gaon (as quoted by R' Yosef Kimchi) who talked about the impact of emotional/mental health on our physical health. Together, these three approaches to our pasuk underscored the importance of our emotions in our avodas Hashem.

Despite having a shorter amount of time for shiur, we were able to come up with several fruitful approaches. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll check out what the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 15:12 - The Leitz's Lack of Love for Rebuke (Part 2)
לֹא יֶאֱהַב לֵץ הוֹכֵחַ לוֹ, אֶל חֲכָמִים לֹא יֵלֵךְ:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/19/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's ideas and coming up with some new approaches. We then delved into the Malbim's commentary here and on the mitzvah of tochachah. I don't know about everyone else in the shiur, but I feel like this is the biggest level-up I've had in my understanding of a leitz in a long time. I now want to learn through ALL the pesukim about leitzim using the Malbim's commentary. Perhaps we'll attempt to do that after my break next week.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/18/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning what looked like a VERY obvious pasuk about a familiar Mishleic archetype. Thankfully, the strange litotes (look it up!) in the first half of the pasuk served as a foothold which enabled us to figure out several fruitful approaches. We began learning the meforshim, but we'll continue tomorrow (בג"ה).

Mishlei 16:19 - The Cost of Doing Business with the Haughty
טוֹב שְׁפַל רוּחַ אֶת [עֲנָוִים] (עניים) מֵחַלֵּק שָׁלָל אֶת גֵּאִים
Length: 1 hour 19 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (12/16/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned the sequel to last week's pasuk about arrogance. Instead of warning about BEING haughty, this one warned about associating with the haughty, even (or especially) if profit is involved. Not only did we come up with some nice ideas, but they ended up being almost exactly what our favorite meforshim came up with! Really important ideas, especially for those who are thinking about joining some venture with an arrogant person (and justifying it because of the gains they think they'll make).

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/12/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing and refining some of yesterday's approaches. We then learned three approaches from the meforshim: Metzudas David, Rabbeinu Yonah, and R' Sheshes ben Yitzchak Gerondi. It was fascinating how their different takes on the first 1st half determined their understanding of the chidush and the practical takeaway.

Synopsis: This morning (12/11/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a strange pasuk which looks like it belongs in Iyov or Tehilim rather than in Mishlei. We came up with a few approaches, some in need of more work than others, and we reviewed some important methodology points. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll try on our own again before delving into the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:18 - Pride Goeth Before Breaking and Stumbling
לִפְנֵי שֶׁבֶר גָּאוֹן, וְלִפְנֵי כִשָּׁלוֹן גֹּבַהּ רוּחַ:
Length: 1 hour 24 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (12/9/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned what is probably one of the most oft-quoted well, oft-paraphrased) pesukim in the world. The main thrust was obvious enough. The trick was to find the chidushim (new insights) - and that's what we did! We came up with several of our own approaches and developed two based on the meforshim, all supported with real-world examples from current events.

Mishlei 15:10 - Bad Mussar (Part 2)
מוּסָר רָע לְעֹזֵב אֹרַח שׂוֹנֵא תוֹכַחַת יָמוּת:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/5/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning yesterday's pasuk and encountered a surprising level of difficulty. Metzudas David didn't give us much to work with. Rabbeinu Yonah was clear, but we couldn't discern a clear and "worthy" chidush. Thankfully, we got a nice idea from the Malbim and another one from the Ri Nachmias, with the help of the Rashbatz on the Arbaah Banim. Warning: if you're a Mishlei learner and you learn this pasuk, you're in for a double-edged sword!

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/4/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning an unusually difficult-to-translate pasuk. It's not uncommon for us to have multiple translations for a given pasuk, but we had SEVEN different ways to translate the first half of this one, and rumor has it that there are more. We came up with a few fruitful approaches and nice ideas. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 16:17 - Mesilas Yesharim According to Mishlei
מְסִלַּת יְשָׁרִים סוּר מֵרָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ נֹצֵר דַּרְכּוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 29 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (12/2/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned the pasuk from which the title of the classic mussar work "Mesilas Yesharim" is derived. We had a surprisingly hard time coming up with ideas of our own. Surprisingly, we found it challenging to generate our own ideas. Thankfully, Metzudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah provided us with two solid and complementary insights.

Mishlei 15:9 - Hashem's Love and Loathing in Mishlei (Part 2)

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/28/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we set out to clarify and develop the different approaches we came up with yesterday. I THOUGHT we were going to learn the meforshim, but the only one we ended up learning was R' Yitzchak ben Sheshes Gerondi. After much discussion, we ended up with six approaches, some of which overlapped. We might not have gotten to learn our go-to meforshim, but we still had some good learning!

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/27/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning a pasuk which appears to be connected to the previous one, which also speaks of an "abomination of Hashem," but we decided to approach this on its own. We quickly uncovered several overlapping possibilities and two distinct ways of framing the opposites within the pasuk and the chidushim. We're going to mull these approaches over and try to clarify them tomorrow before we dive into the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:16 - Forget Gold and Silver; Invest in Chochmah and Binah
קְנֹה חׇכְמָה מַה טּוֹב מֵחָרוּץ, וּקְנוֹת בִּינָה נִבְחָר מִכָּסֶף:
Length: 1 hour 16 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/25/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that - unlike the last six pesukim - was NOT about kings! At least, not according to us. We attempted to learn this pasuk on our own. We didn't realize that so many of our go-to meforshim didn't provide much help. Thankfully, Rashi, R' Avraham ben ha'Rambam (in Parashas Mikeitz), and Malbim, we ended up developing a nice idea! We even got a lesson in economics and finance from the (fake) Radak!

Mishlei 16:15 - The Nature of the King's Favor

Length: 1 hour 10 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/18/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned the last pasuk in the local cluster of pesukim about kings. Once again, I was worried that we would have difficulty seeing past the cliche surface level - and once again, we did! We ended up with several really nice approaches from the group and the meforshim, most of which had wider applicability than some of the other pesukim about kings. Next week we begin a new topic!

Mishlei 15:8 - Tefilah and Korbanos in Mishlei?! (Part 2)

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/14/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we turned to the meforshim. We encountered some nice ideas, but also found that their approaches overlapped to the extent that it was difficult to tell where one distinct idea ended and another one began. By the end, we pulled together a couple of takeaways. All in all, this was a nice pasuk - though I only realize now that we never addressed the question of what this is doing in Mishlei.

We worked on one approach, then set it aside to review Rabbeinu Yonah's definition of "yashar." Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll attempt our own analysis again before turning to the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:14 - Calming an Angry King
חֲמַת מֶלֶךְ מַלְאֲכֵי מָוֶת, וְאִישׁ חָכָם יְכַפְּרֶנָּה:
Length: 1 hour 28 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/11/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned another pasuk about kings. This one also seemed simple, but we ended up stumbling upon some surprising approaches - especially when we saw meforshim who applied this pasuk to the King of kings! And, not surprisingly - given the recent election - we were able to apply it to our upcoming 47th president as well.

Mishlei 15:7 - The Lips of the Wise vs. the Heart of Fools (Part 2)
שִׂפְתֵי חֲכָמִים יְזָרוּ דָעַת וְלֵב כְּסִילִים לֹא כֵן:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/7/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed and refined yesterday's approaches, which translated יזרו as "spread" or "scatter." Today we focused on two other translations: "winnow" and "crown." Not only did we come up with some nice ideas, but we unwittingly stumbled upon a Grand Theory of how Mishlei uses terms for speech (e.g. lips, mouth, tongue, etc.). I'm happy with the ideas we learned from this pasuk, but even happier about that Grand Theory!

Synopsis: This morning (11/6/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a "classic" sounding Mishlei pasuk about chachamim, ksilim, speech, and knowledge. The pasuk proved to be surprisingly rich in questions and we developed three approaches based on one of the two translations. Tomorrow, we'll see if we come up with our own approaches based on the other translation, and then we'll delve into the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:13 - The Kind of Speaker (that Should Be) Favored by Kings
רְצוֹן מְלָכִים שִׂפְתֵי צֶדֶק, וְדֹבֵר יְשָׁרִים יֶאֱהָב:
Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/4/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned another pasuk about kings. I was a little worried because so many of our go-to meforshim had such little to say, but we ended up developing some nice approaches on our own and we learned a few from the meforshim. Despite being about kings, all the ideas we came up with were widely applicable to our daily lives.

We then learned three new approaches from the meforshim: R' Sheshes ben Yitzchak Gerondi (our newly published friend!), Rabbeinu Yonah, and the Meiri's derech nistar. Great yield, as usual!

We ended up focusing on one translation, and came up with several fruitful approaches. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (10/14/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned another pasuk in this local cluster of pesukim about kings. This one seemed obvious to some, but ended up yielding fruitful ideas about leadership and the relationship between their morality and the morality of the people they rule.

Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

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

Mishlei 16:10 - The Charm on the King's Lips
קֶסֶם עַל שִׂפְתֵי מֶלֶךְ, בְּמִשְׁפָּט לֹא יִמְעַל פִּיו:
Length: 1 hour 37 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/30/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a VERY strange pasuk. It was difficult to translate, difficult to contextualize, but we managed to come up with some really nice approaches and learn a few of them from the meforshim as well! Sadly, we didn't end up getting an idea about Rosh ha'Shanah, which was a possibility in my mind, but the ideas were nice and surprisingly far-ranging in their application.

Mishlei 15:4 - How Speech Can Vitalize or Break a Spirit (Part 2)
מַרְפֵּא לָשׁוֹן עֵץ חַיִּים, וְסֶלֶף בָּהּ שֶׁבֶר בְּרוּחַ:
Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/26/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing and refining what we came up with yesterday. We then learned a completely different approach from Rabbeinu Yonah, another approach from Ibn Ezra, and a radically different approach from the Malbim. This pasuk really exemplified how different readings of the pasuk result in completely different realms of practical application.

Mishlei 15:4 - How Speech Can Vitalize or Break a Spirit (Part 1)
מַרְפֵּא לָשׁוֹן עֵץ חַיִּים, וְסֶלֶף בָּהּ שֶׁבֶר בְּרוּחַ:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/25/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began analyzing an enigmatic riddle-of-a-pasuk. I was pleasantly surprised that we came up with two nice ideas, corresponding to two ways of reading the pasuk, and we ended off with a theory about Metzudas David's approach. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the other meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 16:9 - Man Plans and Hashem ... Prepares Footsteps?
לֵב אָדָם יְחַשֵּׁב דַּרְכּוֹ וַי"י יָכִין צַעֲדוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 39 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/23/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we ended up having a masterclass on how to avoid learning cliché ideas from pesukim that seem like clichés. I was concerned this might happen, especially since this is the third pasuk in this chapter we've encountered along these lines, but we managed to develop several nuanced ideas and subtle Mishleic techniques. The meforshim helped us even more! If you listen to this one, I REALLY encourage you to pause the recording before we start giving answers and see what you come up with on your own.

Mishlei 15:3 - Hashem's Super-Vision (Part 2)
בְּכׇל מָקוֹם עֵינֵי י"י צֹפוֹת רָעִים וְטוֹבִים:
Length: 49 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/19/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by raising a problem we missed yesterday which many of the meforshim grapple with. I shared my own approach to the pasuk in response to that problem, then we learned the (fake?) Radak, Ralbag, and Malbim, all of whom take their own approaches to this problem. We came away with some nice ideas, despite our ongoing uncertainty about how hashgachas Hashem works.

Length: 49 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/18/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk which sounds VERY non-Mishleic, and seems to be more fitting for Tehilim, Koheles, or Iyov. We came up with far more questions than I thought - including one based on a Christmas carol - and explored a variety of approaches. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll take stock of what we came up with, then delve into the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:8 - The Superiority of Small-Scale Tzedakah
טוֹב מְעַט בִּצְדָקָה, מֵרֹב תְּבוּאוֹת בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּט:
Length: 1 hour 39 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/16/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up concise pasuk about tzedakah and mishpat - and boy did we come up with interpretations: thirteen in all! There was some overlap in some of these explanations, but they all had unique angles or applications. And we only looked at one of the meforshim! I guess we ended up with abundant produce after all!

Mishlei 15:2 - The Knowledge-Enhancing Speech of Chachamim and the Babbling of Fools (Part 2)

Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This past Friday morning (9/14/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur (which I forgot to post until now), we refined our analysis of the pasuk from the day before, developing three categories of approaches, each with several variants, and each useful in its own way. I honestly don't remember much of what we covered, so if you happen to listen to the shiur and can tell me what sources I quoted, I'd appreciate it!

Synopsis: This morning (9/12/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began analyzing a "classic" style Mishlei pasuk about the wise, the foolish, and their respective types of speech. The difficulty of such pesukim is to discover the non-obvious, non-cliche ideas therein. We ended up getting a LOT of possibilities onto the table. Tomorrow (בג"הw), we'll refine today's findings under the guidance of the meforshim.

Mishlei 16:7 - How to Recruit Hashem to Make Your Enemies Be At Peace With You
בִּרְצוֹת י"י דַּרְכֵי אִישׁ, גַּם אוֹיְבָיו יַשְׁלִם אִתּוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (9/9/24), in our first Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the 2024-2025 season, we took up a Mishlei pasuk about how to make peace with our enemies. The overarching questions are "What are the parameters of this pasuk?" or, to put it more bluntly, "Under what circumstances is this true?" We ended up with some nice insights into decision-making and some useful strategies for navigating potentially contentious relationships in life. We even learned a nice "derech nistar" (esoteric) idea about how to govern our inner lives!

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/5/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed what we did yesterday and developed a unified approach based on Metzudas David and Aristotle. We emerged with a VERY practical idea for how to respond when someone is angry at you, regardless of why or whether that anger is justified. We also discussed some nice Mishlei methodology along the way.

Synopsis: This morning (9/4/24), in our first morning Mishlei shiur of the 2024-2025 season, we began the 15th chapter. In this first truncated learnings session (on account of Rosh Chodesh davening) we raised a ton of questions on our pasuk, which clearly has to do with responding to anger, and we suggested a few initial approaches, along with a ton of Mishlei methodology. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll develop these approaches, and see what some of the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 16:6 - Attaining Atonement the Mishleic Way
בְּחֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת יְכֻפַּר עָוֺן וּבְיִרְאַת י"י סוּר מֵרָע:
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (8/5/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur before a month-long hiatus, we took up a Mishlei pasuk on what didn't sound like a Mishleic topic: kaparas avon (atoning for iniquity). In fact, there's only one other pasuk in Sefer Mishlei that even mentions "avon." We came up with several of our own approaches, then learned through the commentaries of Metzudas David and Meiri, with lots of help from the Rambam along the way!

Mishlei 16:5 - Hashem Hates Haughty Hearts
תּוֹעֲבַת י"י כׇּל גְּבַהּ לֵב יָד לְיָד לֹא יִנָּקֶה:
Length: 1 hour 19 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (7/29/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we analyzed a pasuk that condemned haughtiness in the harshest terms and followed it up with a perplexing statement whose meaning was not readily apparent. Despite our small crew of only 4-5 Mishlei learners, we managed to come up with some nice ideas - by ourselves and with help from the meforshim. So far, Chapter 16 has been delivering a ton of fundamental ideas!

Mishlei 16:4 - The Rasha's Purpose
כֹּל פָּעַל י"י לַמַּעֲנֵהוּ, וְגַם רָשָׁע לְיוֹם רָעָה:
Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (7/15/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we - another small summer crew - analyzed an anomalous pasuk about (wait for it) the purpose of the universe (maybe?) and the purpose of the rasha. We developed one totally original approach, then learned the commentaries of the Meiri, Rabbeinu Yonah, Rambam (!), and Rav Hirsch. It was quite interesting to see a philosophical/theodical topic taken up in Mishlei, which imbued the practical applications that emerged with a special gleam.

Mishlei 16:3 - How to Achieve Your Goal [to Hashem All Your Actions]
גֹּל אֶל י"י מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וְיִכֹּנוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ:
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (7/8/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we - a small crew this week! - analyzed what appeared to be an extremely fundamental pasuk. Turns out, it was! We ended up learning five solid ideas: three developed by us, one from Rabbeinu Yonah, and another from the Meiri. Every pasuk in Mishlei pertains to decision-making, but this was one of those pesukim which were EXPLICITLY about decision-making as a whole, in addition to being a key pasuk about how to strengthen one's relationship with Hashem.

Mishlei 16:2 - [The Inability to] Know Thyself
כׇּל דַּרְכֵי אִישׁ זַךְ בְּעֵינָיו וְתֹכֵן רוּחוֹת י"י:
Length: 1 hour 36 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (7/1/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we began a new perek! This pasuk seemed intuitive on the surface, but we ended up with a bunch of related yet distinct groundbreaking ideas about everything from self-knowledge to self-confidence to self-improvement and its obstacles. Mishlei certainly has a way of prompting you to take a MUCH closer look at an otherwise well-trodden idea, revealing new depth and layers of application.

Mishlei 13:25 - How Tzadikim and Resha'im Eat
צַדִּיק אֹכֵל לְשֹׂבַע נַפְשׁוֹ, וּבֶטֶן רְשָׁעִים תֶּחְסָר:
Length: 1 hour 36 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (6/24/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned the final pasuk in Chapter 13. This pasuk was incredibly easy to translate, but yielded far more questions than we expected. We came up with several approaches which overlapped with each other and with the meforshim with one approach which was completely different. All of the ideas were practical and shed a new light on an often overlooked quality of Mishleic tzadikim and resha'im. It was a great pasuk to round out another great year of Monday Night Mishlei. Onward to the next perek!

Synopsis: This morning (6/20/24), in our last morning Mishlei shiur of the 2023-2024 season, we continued learning the last pasuk in Chapter 14. After reviewing yesterday's ideas, we then learned two COMPLETELY different explanations - one from Metzudas David and the other from Ralbag, each of whom learned that the pasuk is about a different topic altogether. It's been a great year of morning Mishlei shiur, and I can't wait to resume in the Fall!

Synopsis: This morning (6/19/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning the last pasuk in Chapter 14. We developed one really nice idea which emerged organically from the words in the pasuk and another which is also a nice idea (but whether it is organic or inorganic is questionable). Tomorrow, on the last morning Mishlei shiur of the year, we'll delve into the meforshim (בג"ה).

Mishlei 13:24 - Spare the Rod, Hate the Child
חוֹשֵׂךְ שִׁבְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵא בְנוֹ, וְאֹהֲבוֹ שִׁחֲרוֹ מוּסָר:
Length: 1 hour 41 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (6/17/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we analyzed what LOOKED like it was going to be an easy pasuk, but it turned out to be quick tricky. (Perhaps we were misled by the intuitiveness of the English version of the Proverb: "Spare the rod, spoil the child.") We eventually developed our own approach, then learned pshat from Metzudas David, another from the Meiri, and a bonus derech nistar idea from the Meiri about how to "parent" our own yetzer ha'ra!

Mishlei 14:34 - Mishlei on National Tzedakah and Chesed (Part 2)
צְדָקָה תְרוֹמֵם גּוֹי וְחֶסֶד לְאֻמִּים חַטָּאת:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/6/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing and refining yesterday's approaches. We then spent the rest of shiur learning the main idea underlying the Ri Nachmias's approach. The overall thrust of the statements of Chazal he cited was that non-Jews are incapable of doing tzedakah and chesed lishmah. On the surface, this seems like a rather bigoted statement. But after we analyzed it, we recognized its truth and profundity and we even managed to develop a nice approach to our pasuk on that basis.

Synopsis: This morning (6/5/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk about CHESED! Why is this such a big deal? Because FUN FACT: the term "tzedakah," "tzedek," and "tzadik" appear in Mishlei a total of 93 times, whereas the terms "chesed" and "chasid" appear only 12. In other words, it's not a typical Mishlei topic. With that at the back of our minds, we began analyzing today's pasuk, came up with some nice approaches, reviewed the Rambam's definitions of chesed and tzedakah, and concluding by reading a mystifying Rabbeinu Yonah. We'll begin tomorrow (בג"ה) with that Rabbeinu Yonah, followed by more meforshim.

Mishlei 13:23 - Poor Victims of Injustice or Mishleic Fools?
רׇב אֹכֶל נִיר רָאשִׁים וְיֵשׁ נִסְפֶּה בְּלֹא מִשְׁפָּט:
Length: 1 hour 38 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (6/3/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we analyzed what LOOKED like it was going to be the most difficult pasuk we've learned all year. The questions kept mounting, and I was nervous about whether we were going to emerge with any ideas. Well, much to my surprise, we came away with not one, not two, but ELEVEN interpretations! :O Eight of our own, and three from the meforshim. I believe that's a record ... not that it's a contest. Not only did we strike gold with the quantity of ideas, but also the quality. And we barely even scratched the surface of the meforshim! I'm really pleased with the ideas and the teamwork we engaged in to get there.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/30/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, turned out to be one of the most amazing days of Mishlei learning in recent memory! We spent the first half hour refining each of the already-excellent approaches from yesterday, then we read Rabbeinu Yonah, who gave us three more! Really practical, fundamental stuff and fun discussions!

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/29/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a pasuk filled with "Mishleic knowledge terminology": chochmah, navon, ksil, yediah. I thought we'd get bogged down in the jargon, but instead, we developed several really nice ideas! The biggest question on all of our ideas was: "What is the practical application?" - a question I'd like to return to tomorrow, when we review what we learned, finish analyzing Metzudas David, and move on to the other meforshim.

Mishlei 14:32 - How the Tzadik and Rasha Handle Adversity (Part 2)
בְּרָעָתוֹ יִדָּחֶה רָשָׁע, וְחֹסֶה בְמוֹתוֹ צַדִּיק:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/23/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued analyzing yesterday's pasuk. You know the expression, "you win some, you lose some"? Well, that doesn't apply in Mishlei EVEN when you don't emerge from a learning session with a clear, succinct, satisfactory explanation. Why not? Because so much of the benefit of learning Mishlei comes from the analysis and discussion itself. Today, we pretty much ended up where we were yesterday as far as a conclusive understanding goes. Sure, we made some NICE moves and explored some intriguing possibilities, but this was one of the few Mishlei shiurim (out of the 530+ shiurim I've recorded over the past four years) in which I felt like we NEEDED a third session. Tzarich iyun, as they say!

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/22/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning what initially seemed to be a cryptic pasuk. We quickly developed a few approaches, all of which were fruitful. We began learning the Metzudas David which we'll continue working on tomorrow before learning some other meforshim. Based on what we've seen so far, it looks like this is yet another pasuk which highlights how Mishleic development (or lack thereof) directly affects a person's relationship with Hashem.

Mishlei 13:22 - How to Make Sure Your Grandkids Enjoy Their Money
טוֹב יַנְחִיל בְּנֵי בָנִים, וְצָפוּן לַצַּדִּיק חֵיל חוֹטֵא:
Length: 1 hour 38 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/20/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which fell into three problematic categories: (1) "quasi-non-sequitur," (2) "Is this really true?!" and (3) "Oh no - the meforshim barely say anything!" Thankfully, we were able to come up with one major approach on our own (supported by Metzudas David) and a second approach based on Rabbeinu Yonah and the Meiri. We were even able to crack the Meiri's derech nistar approach!

Mishlei 14:31 - Dissing the Creator by Mistreating the Poor (Part 2)
עֹשֵׁק דָּל חֵרֵף עֹשֵׂהוּ, וּמְכַבְּדוֹ חֹנֵן אֶבְיוֹן:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/16/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we supported yesterday's two approaches with explanations from the meforshim. Next, we learned the Malbim's idea, which took us into my favorite comments from the Malbim on Iyov in which he spells out his views on hashgachah. At the very end, we speculated on what type of derech nistar idea the Meiri might give, but we'll have to wait until next week (בג"ה) because the Meiri learns this week's pasuk as connected to next week's. All in all, we walked away with a LOT of nice ideas this week!

Synopsis: This morning (5/15/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk which exemplifies the interrelationship between mussar and our relationship with God. We developed two approaches, found one of them acknowledged by Metzudas David, and were then blindsided by Rabbeinu Yonah. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll review, learn some other meforshim, and try to understand what made Rabbeinu Yonah explain the pasuk as he did.

Mishlei 13:21 - Self-Punishing Sinners and Their Opposite
חַטָּאִים תְּרַדֵּף רָעָה וְאֶת צַדִּיקִים יְשַׁלֶּם טוֹב:
Length: 1 hour 38 minutes
Synopsis: Last night (5/13/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned an oddly phrased asymmetrical pasuk about the fate of sinners and tzadikim. Using these clues, we were able to develop four approaches, one of which was widely supported and fleshed out by the meforshim. The ideas ended up being practical for decision-makers of all ages, but especially for those who are still young.

Mishlei 14:30: The Effects of Envy/Anger on Mental and Physical Health (Part 2)
חַיֵּי בְשָׂרִים לֵב מַרְפֵּא וּרְקַב עֲצָמוֹת קִנְאָה:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/9/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we had PLANNED to look into other meforshim in search of new explanations of our pasuk. Instead, we ended up going FAR deeper into the approach of the Metzudas David we learned yesterday. This led us from the Rambam to Aristotle, and we spent a significant amount of time delving into a SEEMINGLY unrelated mitzvah in this week's parashah. It ended up being a great shiur, and I'm glad we prioritized depth over breadth.

Length: 40 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/8/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning a mystifying pasuk. Thankfully, we were able to take the ONE hint Shlomo ha'Melech gave us and develop several approaches from that. We then read the Metzudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah, which we will review tomorrow before learning the other meforshim.

Mishlei 13:20 - How We're Affected By Our Peers
הוֹלֵךְ אֶת חֲכָמִים יֶחְכָּם וְרֹעֶה כְסִילִים יֵרוֹעַ:
Length: 1 hour 25 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/6/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a really nice "starter pasuk" which is perfect for both the newcomer to Mishlei and for seasoned veterans. We came up with three approaches, each of which was further developed with the help of the meforshim, and we came up with plenty of real-world examples for each approach. It's great to be back to our regular Mishlei schedule!

Mishlei 14:29: The Relationship Between Anger and Understanding (Part 2)
אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם רַב תְּבוּנָה, וּקְצַר רוּחַ מֵרִים אִוֶּלֶת:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (4/16/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by recapping yesterday's ideas and refining our understanding of Metzudas David. Then we tackled the amazing Rabbeinu Yonah, which was just as good as I remembered it! We concluded with one of my favorite Rambams in the Peirush ha'Mishnayos, plus a tie-in to this week's Monday Night Mishlei pasuk, and even a little Haggadah reference. All in a day's work! This shiur will resume the second week of May (בג"ה).

Mishlei 13:19 - The Psychology of the Pleasure-Seeking Life
תַּאֲוָה נִהְיָה תֶּעֱרַב לְנָפֶשׁ, וְתוֹעֲבַת כְּסִילִים סוּר מֵרָע:
Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: Last night (4/15/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a difficult-to-translate pasuk which was explicitly about the psychology of pleasure-seeking. Despite the difficutlies, we were rewarded (a) with several of our own interpretations of the pasuk, (b) some fundamental but nuanced insights into psychology from Metzudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah, and (c) a guest appearance by Shadal whose commentary dovetailed nicely with one of the major themes of Pesach!

Mishlei 14:28: The Nature of the King's Glory
בְּרׇב עָם הַדְרַת מֶלֶךְ, וּבְאֶפֶס לְאֹם מְחִתַּת רָזוֹן:
Length: 36 minutes (last 9 minutes were spliced off)
Synopsis: This morning (4/11/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began analyzing a pasuk with a famous first half and a difficult-to-translate second half. We came up with some nice ideas, too. Not sure whether a Part 2 of this shiur will be fortcoming or whether this is it for now.
Note: for some weird reason, Zoom split the recording, resulting in the last 9 minutes being made into a separate file. Since I don't know the first thing about video editing, and since the last 9 minutes didn't contain any earth-shattering insights, I'm not even going to upload it. If someone wants to volunteer to stitch the two recordings together, they can let me know and i'll send them the files.

Synopsis: This morning (4/5/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed yesterday's pesukim and ideas, and then learned the meforshim. Turns out, Rabbeinu Yonah took a similar approach to us. We gleaned insights from the Meiri and Malbim as well. Didn't quite crack the Metzudas David, though. Still, fundamental ideas, as predicted!

Once upon a time, there was a podcast called The Stoic Jew. Its creator made episodes every weekday for the entirety of its first year. The frequency switched to weekly, then monthly, until eventually, the flow trickled to a stop. I know I'm not the only one who has missed this podcast and would like it to continue. I have a modest goal for getting it going again: one episode each week for the month of April. For starters. If you, too, were a fan of TSJ and are willing to be a sponsor, I have a feeling that a sponsorship might provide just the right measure of accountability to help me get the podcast back on its feet.

Mishlei 13:18 - Nuanced Ways to Reject Mussar

Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (4/1/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which seemed like one of those "Shlomo ha'Melecch reached into a bag filled with Mishlei words and randomly picked seven of them to make into a pasuk" pesukim. I had my doubts about what we might learn, but we ended up learning five nuanced ideas about mussar and tochachah! I'm pleased with our haul, and I have a feeling that these ideas will stick with me ... at least, if I implement the pasuk properly!

Synopsis: This morning (3/28/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we came back for another attempt at yesterday's difficult pasuk - and this time, we managed to get ideas! Three really nice ideas, in fact: one original interpretation, one beautiful idea from Rabbeinu Yonah, and one idea inspired by the first half of Metzudas David's commentary. I'm glad we stuck to it and were rewarded!

When I asked the donor what they'd like their dedicatory message to say, they responded: "You can say it was because of your Dennis Rodman breakthrough" (referring to a point I made in a recent Megilah shiur). I love feedback like this because it shows me that people enjoy and gain from the sometimes eclectic Torah I share. Thank you for your support!

Mishlei 14:25 - Saving Lives and Saying Lies (Part 1)
מַצִּיל נְפָשׁוֹת עֵד אֱמֶת, וְיָפִחַ כְּזָבִים מִרְמָה:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/27/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we started a new and difficult pasuk. Not only was it similar to a pasuk we learned earlier this year, but the syntax was awkward and the two halves didn't match up. In what has become a surprisingly rare occurrence, we weren't able to come up with any full explanations today. We got very close - close enough to feel like the ideas are within reach - but didn't quite make it there. We're going to attempt again tomorrow.

Mishlei 29:11 - How a Chacham Handles a Ksil's Anger (Part 2)

Length: 50 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/22/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on the pasuk we started on Wednesday. We spent most of the time developing other ideas in the pshat - which ended up being great! - and then we attempted to understand the midrashic application to Megilas Esther. We came up with an approach, but it still needs work. Something to think about for Purim!

Synopsis: This morning (3/20/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took a break from our chapter to learn a pasuk which is used as an introduction to Megilas Esther. The connection is less obvious than you might think. We came up with an approach (or two) on our own and gave LOTS of examples. Tomorrow we'll check out the meforshim and attempt to understand the midrash.

Mishlei 13:17 - How to Select (or Be) an Agent
מַלְאָךְ רָשָׁע יִפֹּל בְּרָע וְצִיר אֱמוּנִים מַרְפֵּא:
Length: 1 hour 36 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (3/18/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a puzzling pasuk about a niche topic: agents. Like many pesukim, this one was cryptically worded, and the opposite halves didn't quite line up. That, of course, is where the ideas come from! We came up with several approaches ourselves and learned a couple from the meforshim. Now we all have a much better sense of what to look for in selecting (or being) an agent!

Mishlei 14:24 - False or a Tautology?
עֲטֶרֶת חֲכָמִים עׇשְׁרָם, אִוֶּלֶת כְּסִילִים אִוֶּלֶת:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/14/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a VERY strange pasuk. The first half seems false (or, at the very least, misleading) and the second half reads like a tautology. Nevertheless, we were able to come up with several approaches of our own, and we learned through a few approaches from the meforshim. To the surprise of nobody, it ended up being a great pasuk with a lot of practical insight to offer!

Mishlei 14:23 - "No Pain No Gain" According to Mishlei

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/13/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the next pasuk which we rendered into rhyming English as follows: "In every pain there is gain, but speech-of-the-lips is just a miss." We came up with two of our own approaches and learned two approaches from the meforshim. Nice ideas!

Mishlei 13:16 - To Act With Mishleic Cunning
כׇּל עָרוּם יַעֲשֶׂה בְדָעַת וּכְסִיל יִפְרֹשׂ אִוֶּלֶת:
Length: 1 hour 44 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (3/11/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that looked like a ton of Mishlei terms were just randomly tossed together and assembled into a full pasuk. I was a little nervous, since the meforshim didn't seem like they had a lot to say, but we ended up with several ideas - some from us and some from the meforshim - and we refined our understanding of one of the main Mishleic archetypes.

Mishlei 14:22 - Why Plotting Evil is Bad and Plotting Good is Good
הֲלוֹא יִתְעוּ חֹרְשֵׁי רָע, וְחֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת חֹרְשֵׁי טוֹב:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/6/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the next pasuk, which is one of the most symmetrical Mishlei pesukim I've seen ... and yet, not. We utilized this asymmetry-which-was-so-close-to-symmetry to come up with a good pshat which happens to be exemplified in Megilas Esther! We read through some commentaries at the end, but didn't have time to delve into any of them in depth, since we're planning to move on to a new pasuk tomorrow.

Mishlei 13:15 - Don't Force
שֵׂכֶל טוֹב יִתֶּן חֵן וְדֶרֶךְ בֹּגְדִים אֵיתָן:
Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (3/4/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, I was nervous about our prospects. The first half of the pasuk looked easy, but the second half mentioned the elusive Mishleic archetype of the bogeid - a definition that's given us trouble in the past. Thankfully, we came up with four nice approaches on our own, then learned three additional ideas from Metudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah. To my mind, the fact that these ideas share a common denominator is a good sign.

Synopsis: This morning (2/29/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the next pasuk, which some meforshim connect to the previous one. We came up with a few approaches and half-approaches, then learned the Meiri's commentary on both pesukim.

Shlomo Ha'Melech highlights the importance of mental health in Mishlei 18:14: "The spirit of a person sustains him in his illness, but who can lift a broken spirit?" My rebbi, Rabbi Moskowitz zt"l, emphasized that while a person can accomplish much on their own, there comes a point when one should seek professional help. Jonah is a psychotherapist who offers services in person in Upper Manhattan and virtually. For more information, visit his website at mishaanpsychotherapy.com.

Mishlei 14:20 - Fair-weather Friends
גַּם לְרֵעֵהוּ יִשָּׂנֵא רָשׁ וְאֹהֲבֵי עָשִׁיר רַבִּים:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/28/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned yet another full pasuk in one session! It was unclear at first whether this one was about wealth/poverty or love/hate, but it ended up being about the intersection between the two: the effects of a person's success and failure on their relationships. Some meforshim learn that tomorrow's pasuk is connected to this one, so we'll move onto that tomorrow.

This week's Torah content has been sponsored by Jonah Mishaan with appreciation for Rabbi Schneeweiss, who gathers wisdom from various disciplines.
Shlomo Ha'Melech highlights the importance of mental health in Mishlei 18:14: "The spirit of a person sustains him in his illness, but who can lift a broken spirit?" My rebbi, Rabbi Moskowitz zt"l, emphasized that while a person can accomplish much on their own, there comes a point when one should seek professional help. Jonah is a psychotherapist who offers services in person in Upper Manhattan and virtually. For more information, visit his website at mishaanpsychotherapy.com.

Mishlei 13:14 - How to Benefit from the Fountain of Life
תּוֹרַת חָכָם מְקוֹר חַיִּים לָסוּר מִמֹּקְשֵׁי מָוֶת:
Length: 1 hour 32 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/26/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that seemed a bit trite or bland with relatively few meforshim. Our two leads were a syntactical quirk and the fact that the Rambam inexplicably used this as the "crowning pasuk" of Sefer Nashim in the MIshneh Torah. Thankfully, we were able to work out several ideas - and several more from Rabbeinu Yonah and the Meiri!

Mishlei 14:19 - Do the Wicked Bow Before the Good?
שַׁחוּ רָעִים לִפְנֵי טוֹבִים, וּרְשָׁעִים עַל שַׁעֲרֵי צַדִּיק:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/22/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned another full pasuk in one session! We were immediately confronted with the classic "Is this really true?" question, and it was that question which dictated the various directions our analyses took. We came up with several ideas on our own, then learned several from the meforshim, some of which connected back to yesterday's pasuk. Really nice ideas, once again!

Mishlei 14:18 - Inheriting Foolishness
נָחֲלוּ פְתָאיִם אִוֶּלֶת, וַעֲרוּמִים יַכְתִּרוּ דָעַת:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/21/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned another fundamental pasuk about how the pesi makes decisions. Since we had a smaller crowd than usual, we were able to proceed through our analysis quickly. We came up with seven approaches, depending on how you count. Nice ideas, if I may say so myself!

Mishlei 13:13 - Scorned Things and Revered Mitzvos
בָּז לְדָבָר יֵחָבֶל לוֹ, וִירֵא מִצְוָה הוּא יְשֻׁלָּם:
Length: 1 hour 18 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/19/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that seemed all over the place at first glance. What followed was one of the smoothest Mishlei analyses in memory: three of our own interpretations followed by three interpretations of the Meiri, all of which are critical for strengthening our decision-making and our relationship with the observance of halacha. The Meiri's second explanation, in particular, stands out to my mind for its revolutionary advice on how to solve a certain species of religious crisis to which certain types of people are prone. If you're looking for six practical and powerful ideas, then this pasuk is for you!

Mishlei 14:17 - When Deliberate Thinkers Are Hated
קְצַר אַפַּיִם יַעֲשֶׂה אִוֶּלֶת וְאִישׁ מְזִמּוֹת יִשָּׂנֵא:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/7/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a perplexing pasuk which seemed to issue a warning of a negative consequence for a positive Mishleic archetype. We came up with several approaches on our own, then read Saadia Gaon's commentary which supported the way we were thinking. Unfortunately, I realized that we might only be able to spend one day on this pasuk, so we didn't have time to go through our usual meforshim. Still came away with some nice ideas, though!

Mishlei 13:12 - Since When is Taavah is a Tree of Life?!
תּוֹחֶלֶת מְמֻשָּׁכָה מַחֲלָה לֵב, וְעֵץ חַיִּים תַּאֲוָה בָאָה:
Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/5/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that, on the surface, seems to advocate the pursuit of תאוה (desire, lust, instinctual pleasure) and goes so far as to refer to it as an עץ חיים (tree of life). What could Shlomo ha'Melech possibly mean? We came up with two of our own approaches, and then learned a nice approach from the combined forces of the Malbim and the Meiri.

Mishlei 13:10 - The Secret to Teamwork, Leadership, and Communication
רַק בְּזָדוֹן יִתֵּן מַצָּה וְאֶת נוֹעָצִים חׇכְמָה:
Length: 1 hour 28 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (1/22/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk I had never learned before. The syntax of this pasuk was somewhat odd, as was the juxtaposition of seemingly disparate topics - yet, we were able to learn three nice ideas: one which we developed on our own, and two from the meforshim. I was pleased to see how universally applicable two of the three ideas are, as you can tell from the title. As always, I'm interested to hear any other approaches you have to the pasuk!

Length: 1 hour 29 minutes

Unlike most of our Monday Night Mishlei shiurim, when we typically come up with 6-10 approaches to the pasuk, tonight we only came up with 2-3. They ended up being good, but it took a while to get there!

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/10/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's (MANY) questions and two approaches. We then learned a bunch of meforshim and gained a bunch of new insights into the pesi and the arum. This just goes to show that even a well-trodden pasuk still has the potential to yield chidushim.

פֶּתִי יַאֲמִין לְכׇל דָּבָר, וְעָרוּם יָבִין לַאֲשֻׁרוֹ:
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/9/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the quintessential pasuk about the pesi and the arum. It's always a unique challenge to learn pesukim which define the classic Mishleic archetypes which are so much a part of our Mishleic vocabulary. I was worried we would have a difficult time coming up with new insights, but even our first day brought us new insights, so I'm optimistic about tomorrow when we consult the meforshim!

Mishlei 13:8 - Those Poor People Who Don't Listen to Rebuke
כֹּפֶר נֶפֶשׁ אִישׁ עׇשְׁרוֹ וְרָשׁ לֹא שָׁמַע גְּעָרָה:
Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (1/8/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which seemed quite difficult to understand on the surface - especially because it seemed to criticize poor people for something they shouldn't automatically be criticized for. Nevertheless, we ended up with some great ideas. As a bonus, we even heard a good idea from the (relatively new) ChatGPT voice interface, which we were able to extract after a brief conversation.

Mishlei 14:14 - The Hazard of the Soog Lev (Part 2)
מִדְּרָכָיו יִשְׂבַּע סוּג לֵב וּמֵעָלָיו אִישׁ טוֹב
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/4/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed yesterday's ideas, then learned two amazing and practical interpretations from the Metzudas David and the Rabbeinu Yonah. I was particularly happy that the Rabbeinu Yonah introduced us to a totally new Mishleic archetype - one which (unfortunately) many of us contend with at some point in our lives.

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/3/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began working on a pasuk that is so ambiguously worded that we were forced to contend with SIX different translations! Despite that obstacle, we were able to develop several fruitful approaches which we will attempt to refine tomorrow before delving into the meforshim.

Mishlei 13:7 - Thirteen Ways to Make Yourself Rich or Poor
יֵשׁ מִתְעַשֵּׁר וְאֵין כֹּל, מִתְרוֹשֵׁשׁ וְהוֹן רָב:
Length: 1 hour 43 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (1/1/24), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, I predicted that our pasuk would be fairly easy to learn and that we'd get lots of ideas. Looks like I was right! By my count, we came up with thirteen different explanations (seven from us and six from the meforshim), which I believe is a record for us! We also picked up some key methodology pointers along the way.

Mishlei 14:13 - When Laughter Ends in Sadness (Part 2)
גַּם בִּשְׂחֹק יִכְאַב לֵב וְאַחֲרִיתָהּ שִׂמְחָה תוּגָה
Length: 43 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/21/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's pasuk and ideas, then we consulted the meforshim. Although we were able to get some nice insights from all of them, we didn't really get a fully new idea until the very end, when we learned Rashi. All in all, great pasuk (or pair of pesukim)!

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/20/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning a pasuk which is clearly connected to the pasuk we learned last week (12/14/23), but we decided to analyze it on its own and we came up with some nice ideas! Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll learn the meforshim, many of whom connect the two pesukim.

Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (12/19/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we analyzed a pasuk which looked like it was going to be really difficult, since the translation was really messy. Turns out, we came up with several overlapping good ideas on a topic that turned out to be more practical for us than many of the other pesukim which utilize these terms.

Mishlei 13:5 - The Tzadik's Attitude Towards Falsehood
דְּבַר שֶׁקֶר יִשְׂנָא צַדִּיק, וְרָשָׁע יַבְאִישׁ וְיַחְפִּיר:
Length: 1 hour 41 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (12/11/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we skipped the next pasuk we were slated to do (13:4) because I gave shiur on it back in June 2022. Instead, we learned the next pasuk, which was a doozy to translate (because of the multiple legitimate grammar variations). We developed several ideas of our own and then learned Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation.

Synopsis: This morning (12/7/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed the ideas from yesterday, supporting some of them from the meforshim. I then shared my own original interpretation, after which we attempted to understand Rabbeinu Yonah's approach as well as the Meiri's derech nistar interpretation. I say "attempted" because we didn't feel like we grasped the entirety of what they wrote, but we did walk away with some insights.

Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 13:3 - Lips of Self-Destruction
נֹצֵר פִּיו שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ, פֹּשֵׂק שְׂפָתָיו מְחִתָּה לוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (12/4/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned another pasuk about speech. I suspected this one would be easier than last week's, and it was! We came up with two approaches of our own, and then learned two approaches from the meforshim. This is definitely one of those "easier said than done" pesukim, but saying it is the first step to doing it - even when the "doing" in this case involves NOT saying things!

Mishlei 14:10 - Mishlei's Take on Empathy (Part 2)
לֵב יוֹדֵעַ מָרַּת נַפְשׁוֹ, וּבְשִׂמְחָתוֹ לֹא יִתְעָרַב זָר:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/30/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we had one goal: to find chidushim on our pasuk ... and chidushim we found! We began with a second original interpretation, followed by an idea from the Metzudas David (which will be of interest to anyone who struggles in their learning), followed by two ideas from the Meiri. Always great to gain new insight into an otherwise familiar pasuk!

Length: 42 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/29/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned one of the most memorable pesukim (based on anecdotal evidence) which constitutes part of my high school Mishlei curriculum. For better or for worse, this means that I know the idea REALLY well, and had a hard time seeing this pasuk with fresh eyes. After a few attempts at interpretation from the guys in the shiur, I shared my understanding. Tomorrow we'll see if we can get new insights from the meforshim.
If you're interested in the written version, which quoted from in shiur, here's the link.

Mishlei 13:2 - Fruitful vs. Traitorous Speech
מִפְּרִי פִי אִישׁ יֹאכַל טוֹב וְנֶפֶשׁ בֹּגְדִים חָמָס:
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (11/27/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up a difficult pasuk - the 1st half of which was nearly identical to a pasuk we learned last year, and the 2nd half of which dealt with a difficult-to-define Mishleic archetype. We struggled, but eventually developed our own interpretation of the pasuk. After that, we learned Rabbeinu Yonah's take, followed by the Ralbag. We ended up learning three completely different ideas, all of which were practical in their own way.

Mishlei 14:9 - The Role of Guilt Among Mishleic Fools (Part 2)
אֱוִלִים יָלִיץ אָשָׁם וּבֵין יְשָׁרִים רָצוֹן:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/23/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk, attempting to refine some of yesterday's ideas, and then delving into the Radak who gave us a really good explanation. I'd say we got 90% of the way there, but we were on the right track. In the last minutes of shiur we read through the Malbim, whose interpretation also looks like it has potential, but we didn't have time to figure it out. Tzarich iyun!

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/22/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning an extremely cryptic and difficult-to-translate pasuk having something to do with guilt, eveelim (Mishleic fools), and yesharim (the upright). Thankfully, we were able to develop several fruitful approaches. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Synopsis: This morning (11/16/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we delved into the meforshim on our pasuk, where we discovered some overlap between the approaches we developed yesterday. Ultimately, we arrived at two "main idea"-level interpretations: that of the Rabbeinu Yonah, which dovetailed what one of the guys in the shiur said, and that of the Malbim. Both approaches were insightful and practical!

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/9/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, I had PLANNED to cover a variety of meforshim. Instead, we ended up reading Metzudas David - whose explanation was the most similar to what we came up with yesterday - and spent the rest of the time developing approaches along that track. We didn't even get to the other ways of reading the pasuk! In any event, we had some nice, practical insights, and I'm happy with how we spent our time.

Mishlei 12:28 - Mishleic Immortality
בְּאֹרַח צְדָקָה חַיִּים, וְדֶרֶךְ נְתִיבָהֿ אַל מָוֶת:
Length: 1 hour 30 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (11/6/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk that somehow managed to be overly generic but frustratingly specific. We came up with a few approaches on our own, then learned through several of the meforshim. We walked away with some nice ideas, and with that, we finished Chapter 12. Over the course of our three years and three months of Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we've covered 91 pesukim one pasuk at a time! God willing, we'll learn many more in the future!

Mishlei 14:6 - How the Leitz and the Navon Seek Knowledge (Part 2)
בִּקֶּשׁ לֵץ חׇכְמָה וָאָיִן, וְדַעַת לְנָבוֹן נָקָל:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/2/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on the pasuk we started yesterday and encountered a whole lot of difficulty. Rabbeinu Yonah's approach definitely has potential, and we know this because we learned this pasuk according to him last year. For some reason, we couldn't quite tie it all together. Meiri gave us another approach, which rang true, but didn't really shed light on why the pasuk focuses on a leitz, which was our main question. We summarized our takeaways at the very end, but more work remains to be done.

Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/1/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk which discusses a very strange phenomenon: a leitz seeking chochmah! This is juxtaposed with a statement about a navon's easy attainment of knowledge. We worked out a nice approach today which seems fruitful. Tomorrow we'll refine it and then delve into the meforshim.

Mishlei 12:27 - Too Lazy to Roast Your Catch
לֹא יַחֲרֹךְ רְמִיָּה צֵידוֹ, וְהוֹן אָדָם יָקָר חָרוּץ:
Length: 1 hour 21 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (10/30/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we tackled a pasuk which proved to be VERY difficult to read, given the variety of permutations. I was pleased and surprised that we were able to develop two distinct clusters of approaches, each of which had a couple of variations. Things got more difficult when we learned through the meforshim: the Rabbeinu Yonah (which I mistakenly labeled as Metzudas David), followed by the regular Metzudas David, followed by the Malbim. We ended up understanding our own approaches better than the meforshim. If anyone has any insights into what they meant, please let me know!

Mishlei 14:5 - A Liar is a False Witness ... Really? (Part 2)
עֵד אֱמוּנִים לֹא יְכַזֵּב וְיָפִיחַ כְּזָבִים עֵד שָׁקֶר:
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (10/26/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of what initially appeared to be an extremely obvious pasuk. We learned explanations from a whopping SEVEN commentaries - some of which we managed to develop better than others. The overall takeaway is that even if a pasuk LOOKS obvious, it still has the potential to yield abundant insight.

Synopsis: This morning (10/25/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning what may very well be the most obvious sounding pasuk I've ever seen. Robert Alter comments: "This is one of those proverbs that verges on tautology." Accordingly, we had to make an extra effort to find chidushim (novel insights) - and chidushim we found! Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Synopsis: This morning (10/19/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. Our focus today was on finding chidushim (new insights), and chidushim we found! We managed to walk away with a handful of practical ideas, which goes to show that even if you have an interpretation of a pasuk which is prominent in your mind, you can usually find a chidush if you look hard enough.

Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/21/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk which - for better or for worse - I have learned and taught MANY times. Not only that, but I've even coined a phrased based on it which I regularly use. For this reason, I knew the challenge would be to learn the pasuk through fresh eyes and uncover new ideas. This morning we developed a couple new approaches, and then I shared my understanding, which still holds up. Tomorrow, we'll delve into the meforshim and try to find new insights.
If you'd like to read a written version of my take on this pasuk, it's one of the few I've written up for my substack. Click here for the article.

Mishlei 12:26 - Tzadik, Rasha, Fellow, Spy
יָתֵר מֵרֵעֵהוּ צַדִּיק, וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּתְעֵם:
Length: 1 hour 21 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (10/16/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk with two radically different translations: one which seems to point out the obvious fact that a tzadik is better than his fellow, and the other which makes the scandalous statement that a tzadik spies on his fellow. (Pardon my pathetic attempt to capture the elements of this pasuk in a forced reference to a movie title.) We ended up with six really nice ideas - four from our group and two from the meforshim!

Synopsis: This morning (9/21/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a review of the questions and ideas from last time. Unfortunately, this wasn't recorded. We then learned different approaches from different meforshim, most of which revolved around the same ideas we discussed yesterday, but with intriguing nuances.

Mishlei 14:2 - The Relationship Between "Uprightness" and Fear of Hashem (Part 2)
הוֹלֵךְ בְּיׇשְׁרוֹ יְרֵא י"י, וּנְלוֹז דְּרָכָיו בּוֹזֵהוּ:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (9/14/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed yesterday's ideas and then learned a whopping three more approaches, each of which was radically different from the next! I really liked the ideas in this shiur, and thought that the ideas were especially timely going into Rosh ha'Shanah and the Aseres Ymei Teshuvah.

Synopsis: This morning (9/13/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk which appeared to be filled with Mishleic jargon, but ended up being rather straightforward to analyze. We ended up with two beautiful ideas which happened to be somewhat contrary, and a third idea which we will attempt to develop more tomorrow before turning to the meforshim.

Mishlei 14:16 - Mishleic Wisdom and Foolishness 101

Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (9/4/23), in our first Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the 2023-2024 season, we did a trial run of my introductory Mishlei pasuk - not a full-on Intro to Mishlei shiur, but the first pasuk I typically teach students who are new to Mishlei. I wanted to assess whether I still think this is a good first exposure to Mishlei. The verdict? It most certainly is! We arrived at several great ideas that will serve as a solid foundation for Mishlei, and I'm confident that this is still a mighty fine choice.

Synopsis: Have you been what I'll be up to this coming year? Have you heard me allude to a MAJOR update that I said I'd announce about my professional life in the near future? Are you aware of one of these updates, but not the other? Well, if none of this interests you, then by all means, feel free to skip this. But if you are at all curious about my exciting plans for 2023-2024, then here is the FULL story. I intended to make this short, but failed miserably because there's just so much to update you on! If you want a tl;dr or a teaser, here it is:
Update #1 (0:00 - 26:00): I will be switching from full-time rebbi and administrator at YBT to part-time rebbi in order to explore and expand my own Torah content creation horizons.
Update #2 (26:00 - end): I will be returning to the high school classroom … sort of!

Despite our smaller-than-usual crowd, we emerged with a practical insight with is sure to yield success wherever we implement it.

Length: 1 hour 29 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (8/7/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur (which I decided to give even though I'm sick, since there's no medicine like Mishlei!), we learned a pasuk about when to share your knowledge and when not to. We developed several different approaches from different angles. I hope we all walk away from this shiur thinking twice before sharing what we know!

Mishlei 28:14 - Mishlei on the Events of Tishah b'Av
אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם מְפַחֵד תָּמִיד, וּמַקְשֶׁה לִבּוֹ יִפּוֹל בְּרָעָה:
Length: 1 hour 40 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (7/24/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we decided to pause our learning of chapter 12 and learn the pasuk cited by Chazal to explain how the Beis ha'Mikdash was destroyed. The pasuk seemed like it would be relatively straightforward, but we ended up getting a lot of nice, nuanced ideas. Hopefully, this will shed a new light on our Tishah b'Av experience as well.

Mishlei 12:22 - Why Hashem Hates Liars and Favors Truth Doers
תּוֹעֲבַת י"י שִׂפְתֵי שָׁקֶר וְעֹשֵׂי אֱמוּנָה רְצוֹנוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 14 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (7/17/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned the LAST pasuk in the thematic unit we've been learning about lying and truth-telling. The pasuk was simple to read and the questions were clean - as were the ideas we came up with! It was a fitting conclusion to this cluster of pesukim.

Mishlei 12:21 - Righteous Resilience vs. Rasha Reactions
לֹא יְאֻנֶּה לַצַּדִּיק כׇּל אָוֶן וּרְשָׁעִים מָלְאוּ רָע:
Length: 1 hour 10 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (7/10/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we were down to a skeleton crew, with close to ten of our regulars missing! Still, we persevered, tackling a difficult-to-think-about pasuk and emerging with three or four practical ideas (one, I might add, which would make a good episode of The Stoic Jew Podcast, if only that guy would get his act together and start making episodes again).

Mishlei 12:20 - Plotters of Evil vs. Advisors of Peace
מִרְמָה בְּלֶב חֹרְשֵׁי רָע וּלְיֹעֲצֵי שָׁלוֹם שִׂמְחָה:
Length:
Synopsis: Tonight (7/3/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a deceptively difficult pasuk - not so much because it was difficult to read or even to answer our questions, but because it was difficult to discern the Mishleic symmetry. Nevertheless, we developed several partial approaches 2-3 complete (or near-complete) explanations, and learned some ideas from the meforshim as well. And even in those approaches which didn't pan out, we got some nice ideas.

Mishlei 12:19 - The Intrinsically Unstable Nature of Lies
שְׂפַת אֱמֶת תִּכּוֹן לָעַד וְעַד אַרְגִּיעָה לְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר:
Length: 1 hour 44 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (6/26/23), in our first Monday Night Mishlei Shiur of the summer session, we learned a pasuk that presented itself as quite straightforward ... a little TOO straightforward, or so we initially feared. Thankfully, we ended up developing 5-6 approaches, and got some nice methodology refreshers along the way!

Mishlei 24:30-34 - How to Learn Mishlei from Anything (BONUS SHIUR)
(ל) עַל שְׂדֵה אִישׁ עָצֵל עָבַרְתִּי וְעַל כֶּרֶם אָדָם חֲסַר לֵב. (לא) וְהִנֵּה עָלָה כֻלּוֹ קִמְּשֹׂנִים כָּסּוּ פָנָיו חֲרֻלִּים וְגֶדֶר אֲבָנָיו נֶהֱרָסָה. (לב) וָאֶחֱזֶה אָנֹכִי אָשִׁית לִבִּי רָאִיתִי לָקַחְתִּי מוּסָר.(לג) מְעַט שֵׁנוֹת מְעַט תְּנוּמוֹת מְעַט חִבֻּק יָדַיִם לִשְׁכָּב. (לד) וּבָא מִתְהַלֵּךְ רֵישֶׁךָ וּמַחְסֹרֶיךָ כְּאִישׁ מָגֵן:
Length: 53 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/12/23), we had a BONUS shiur, which was unplanned! This allowed us to complete Chapter 24, and with it, the core of Sefer Mishlei! (Full disclosure: we've learned from Chapters 10 until two thirds of the way through Chapter 12, and Chapters 18-24, but there's still another 5.5 chapters to go!) We were delighted to find that this idea was a fitting idea for the end of the section and the end of the year. I'm really grateful we had the opportunity to learn Mishlei today!

Mishlei 24:28-29 - Retributive, Unwarranted, Seductive Testimony (Part 2)
(כח) אַל תְּהִי עֵד חִנָּם בְּרֵעֶךָ וַהֲפִתִּיתָ בִּשְׂפָתֶיךָ.
(כט) אַל תֹּאמַר כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לִי כֵּן אֶעֱשֶׂה לּוֹ אָשִׁיב לָאִישׁ כְּפׇעֳלוֹ.
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (6/6/23), in our final morning Mishlei shiur of the season, we began by reviewing and refining some of the approaches we came up with yesterday, which ended up being a great use of time. We then learned Rabbeinu Yonah's idea, which was specific and practical. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to learn the Ralbag, but if you've made it this far, I encourage you to check it out.
Thus concludes my 109th and final (as far as I know?) Mishlei shiur of the 2022-2023 academic year. Stay tuned for a survey about our summer Mishlei sessions!

Mishlei 12:18 - Stabby vs. Salutary Speech
יֵשׁ בּוֹטֶה כְּמַדְקְרוֹת חָרֶב וּלְשׁוֹן חֲכָמִים מַרְפֵּא:
Length: 1 hour 44 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (6/6/23), in our last Monday Night Mishlei Shiur of the season, we learned another pasuk about speech - one which was relatively simple to read, but difficult to decode. We came up with a few approaches, the most complete of which was an old interpretation I came up with years ago (which I dug up in my notes). We ended with a nice nigleh/nistar pairing from the Meiri, and concluded the shiur by reflecting on what emerged from each of our three years of Monday Night Mishlei. Until next time! (Stay tuned for the survey about a summer session of Mishlei, beginning in July.)

Synopsis: This morning (6/5/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began working on a pair of pesukim which describe an enigmatic scenario. After formulating a litany of questions, we were able to develop several fruitful approaches. We'll see what the meforshim have to say tomorrow (בג"ה).

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/30/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing and refining some of yesterday's approaches, then segued into the explanations of the meforshim. The Ralbag's commentary sparked a meta-meta-rant on people who learn Torah but don't care about the accuracy of the texts they use. We concluded by reading Chazal's interpretations of our pasuk, but didn't have time to analyze them.

Length: 1 hour 44 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/29/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned another pasuk which initially seemed cliche and obvious, but once we asked our questions, we knew there had to be new insights to be discovered, and discover them we did! We came up with several ideas on our own and went over a few more from the meforshim. One more Monday Night Mishlei shiur next week before we wrap up this semester.

Mishlei 24:27 - Favoritism in Judgment and Kissy Rebuke (Part 1)
הָכֵן בַּחוּץ מְלַאכְתֶּךָ וְעַתְּדָהּ בַּשָּׂדֶה לָךְ אַחַר וּבָנִיתָ בֵיתֶךָ:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/29/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a straightforward, standalone pasuk. This posed a boon and a challenge: on the one hand, we were able to come up with a number of original approaches; on the other hand, the simplicity of the pasuk led us to question whether we were projecting ideas onto the words or actually discerning Shlomo ha'Melech's intent. My hope is that the meforshim will help us to determine we were on target or not. I guess we'll find out tomorrow (בג"ה)!

Mishlei 24:23-26 - Favoritism in Judgment and Kissy Rebuke (Part 2)
(כג) גַּם אֵלֶּה לַחֲכָמִים הַכֵּר פָּנִים בְּמִשְׁפָּט בַּל טוֹב.
(כד) אֹמֵר לְרָשָׁע צַדִּיק אָתָּה יִקְּבֻהוּ עַמִּים יִזְעָמוּהוּ לְאֻמִּים.
(כה) וְלַמּוֹכִיחִים יִנְעָם וַעֲלֵיהֶם תָּבוֹא בִרְכַּת טוֹב.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/23/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the pesukim, the questions, and the ideas from yesterday. Thankfully, we were able to develop the partial approaches into full ideas. We then read the Meiri and learned his derech nigleh approach to the whole cluster, and a standalone interpretation of the final pasuk.

Mishlei 12:16 - The Fool Broadcasts His Anger, But the Cunning Conceal Their Disgrace
אֱוִיל בַּיּוֹם יִוָּדַע כַּעְסוֹ וְכֹסֶה קָלוֹן עָרוּם:
Length: 1 hour 57 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/22/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned an easy-to-read pasuk carrying a wealth of ideas about how to deal with anger and how to deal with an angry person. We even learned the Meiri's derech nistar approch about what to do and what not to do when you have doubts or problems with the fundamentals of Judaism - from a Mishlei standpoint.

Synopsis: This morning (5/22/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we tackled a tough cluster of pesukim. It took us a while to get all the facts (which involved some Rambam Bekius - not that I'm complaining!) and we had to keep our questions more general than usual to avoid getting bogged down. We explored a few avenues and ideas towards the end of shiur, and we'll see what the meforshim say tomorrow (בג"ה).

One summer in the mid-2000s, Rabbi Moskowitz zt"l and I (and the other students who attended those shiurim during those weeks) worked out an approach to Eishes Chayil (a.k.a. Mishlei 31:10-31). This morning (5/21/23), in honor of his first yahrzeit, I presented his approach and our ideas on the entirety of Eishes Chayil.

Mishlei 24:21-22 - Fear Hashem AND the King (Part 2)
(כא) יְרָא אֶת י"י בְּנִי וָמֶלֶךְ עִם שׁוֹנִים אַל תִּתְעָרָב.

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/16/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed and refined yesterday's approach, and then we did something a little ... different. I can't tell whether it was just taking the practical application farther than usual, or whether we strayed into mental health territory, or religious existentialism, or what. I think it was a productive discussion, and I know that it enhanced MY understanding of the pasuk. We concluded by reading through the Meiri's unexpected derech nistar approach, but didn't have time to analyze it.

Mishlei 12:15 - The Opposite Paths of the Eveel and the Chacham
דֶּרֶךְ אֱוִיל יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְשֹׁמֵעַ לְעֵצָה חָכָם:
Length: 1 hour 57 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/15/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we took up a pasuk which I feared would be too simple or obvious. Thankfully, I was proven wrong! We came up with a good 4-5 beautiful ideas, on our own and based on the meforshim, and delved quite a bit into the practical applications. I thought I'd have to cut shiur short, but we ended up going for almost two full hours - and there was still a lot more to discuss! This was yet another example of how much depth Mishlei packs, even when things appear to be elementary on the surface.

Mishlei 24:21-22 - Fear Hashem AND the King (Part 1)
(כא) יְרָא אֶת י"י בְּנִי וָמֶלֶךְ עִם שׁוֹנִים אַל תִּתְעָרָב.

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/15/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning the final two pesukim in this section. Every time I see this pasuk, I'm bothered by the juxtaposition of the injunction to fear Hashem with the injunction to fear a human king. To my mind, the litmus test of our interpretation of these pesukim is whether or not we can find a satisfactory answer to that major question. Today we developed a nice idea based on Metzudas David. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll check out the other meforshim.

Synopsis: This morning (5/9/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we had a VERY fruitful learning session! We began by refining yesterday's idea and coming up with our own derech nistar interpretation, which - oddly enough - was supported by Hugh Jackman and Henry Cavill. Next, we learned a beautiful and practical idea from Rabbeinu Yonah about how fantasy works and how to combat it. We ended with the Malbim's interpretation, which answered some of the questions we were unable to answer ourselves. Great haul!

מִפְּרִי פִי אִישׁ יִשְׂבַּע טוֹב וּגְמוּל יְדֵי אָדָם [יָשִׁיב] (ישוב) לוֹ.
Length: 1 hour 45 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/8/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a tough pasuk featuring a bizarre-sounding mashal. We came up with several approaches - at least two of which were complete and viable - and then found some approaches from a few meforshim which we were able to get partial ideas from, but nothing definitive. I'm happy we came up with SOME good ideas, but man - was this one difficult!

Mishlei 24:19-20 - Don't Jealously Compete with Evildoers (Part 1)
(יט) אַל תִּתְחַר בַּמְּרֵעִים אַל תְּקַנֵּא בָּרְשָׁעִים.
(כ) כִּי לֹא תִהְיֶה אַחֲרִית לָרָע נֵר רְשָׁעִים יִדְעָךְ.
Length: 40 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/8/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we revisited a pair of pesukim we learned back in Decemeber 2020 (because they were vaguely Chanukah-themed). According to the shownotes on the podcast, I wasn't satisfied with what we came up with then. Thankfully, I have no memory of what we said! Today we outlined several fruitful approaches, and ended up with at least one which seems like a good pshat. Tomorrow we'll see what the other meforshim have to say (בג"ה).
Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!

Mishlei 24:17-18 - When Your Enemy Falls Do Not Rejoice (Part 2)
(יז) בִּנְפֹל אוֹיִבְךָ אַל תִּשְׂמָח וּבִכָּשְׁלוֹ אַל יָגֵל לִבֶּךָ.
(יח) פֶּן יִרְאֶה י"י וְרַע בְּעֵינָיו וְהֵשִׁיב מֵעָלָיו אַפּוֹ.
Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/2/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we found ourselves confronted with a WEALTH of ideas on yesterday's pair of pesukim. After a brief review, we jumped right into the meforshim. With their help, we learned several different ideas AND managed to develop both of our approaches from yesterday. Very nice haul! I can see why Shmuel ha'Katan always quoted these two pesukim!

Mishlei 12:13 - Ensnaring Lips
בְּפֶשַׁע שְׂפָתַיִם מוֹקֵשׁ רָע וַיֵּצֵא מִצָּרָה צַדִּיק:
Length: 1 hour 45 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (5/1/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which I have often used in my introductory presentations of Mishlei, due to its accessibility. This was vindicated tonight by the fact that we came up with nine different interpretations of our pasuk! Since the crowd was also bigger than normal (15 participants instead of the usual 6-8), I made an effort to bring out as many methodology points as I could. It was an enjoyable and enlightening shiur, if I do say so myself!

Synopsis: This morning (4/25/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we revisited yesterday's pasuk and fleshed out both of the approaches we started developing yesterday - with several different avenues for the nigleh, and one corresponding approach for the nistar. It LOOKED like we weren't going to answer one of our main questions, but we came up with an answer in the last minute of shiur. All in all, I'm happy with how our analysis turned out!

Length: 1 hour 26 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (4/24/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a new pasuk I had never seen before. We came up with couple ideas of our own and a developed a couple with help from the meforshim. Once again, Shlomo ha'Melech refined our understanding of tzadikim vs. resha'im, and we walked away from the pasuk with some juicy ideas which are also practical.

Synopsis: This morning (4/24/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which - to my mind - stands out as one of the most "inspiring" pesukim in Mishlei. However, I had never analyzed this pasuk in context, and the context complicates things to a surprising degree. We managed to sketch out two approaches - one literal and one metaphorical - and although we checked out three meforshim towards the end, but they didn't provide us with much to work with. Tomorrow we'll look at more meforshim and attempt to develop both of today's approaches.

Mishlei 24:10-12 - Using "We Didn't Know" as an Excuse Not to Save Others (Part 2)
(י) הִתְרַפִּיתָ בְּיוֹם צָרָה, צַר כֹּחֶכָה. (יא) הַצֵּל לְקֻחִים לַמָּוֶת, וּמָטִים לַהֶרֶג אִם תַּחְשׂוֹךְ. (יב) כִּי תֹאמַר הֵן לֹא יָדַעְנוּ זֶה הֲלֹא תֹכֵן לִבּוֹת הוּא יָבִין וְנֹצֵר נַפְשְׁךָ הוּא יֵדָע, וְהֵשִׁיב לְאָדָם כְּפׇעֳלוֹ:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/28/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we came up with yesterday on our trio of pesukim, then we explored another approach, and then we delved into the meforshim. These meforshim didn't exactly teach us new APPROACHES, but they did expand our understanding of these pesukim based on what they chose to emphasize.

Mishlei 12:10 - The Mercies of Tzadikim and Resha'im
יוֹדֵעַ צַדִּיק נֶפֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּוֹ, וְרַחֲמֵי רְשָׁעִים אַכְזָרִי:
Length: 1 hour 27 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (3/27/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned another refreshingly accessible pasuk. Not only did we learn three nice ideas, all backed by the meforshim, but we also managed to expand our understanding of Mishleic tzadikim and resha'im beyond what we had learned in the previous chapters. This was a nice idea to end with before our nearly month-long break for Pesach.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/27/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a trio of pesukim which included last week's pasuk (which we reviewed) and the two pesukim that followed. It took us quite a while to translate the pasuk and ask all the relevant questions, but we still had time to develop one or two approaches. Tomorrow, in our last scheduled Morning Mishlei shiur before Pesach, we'll see what the meforshim have to teach us (בג"ה).

Mishlei 24:10 - How to Sabotage Yourself on a Day of Adversity (Part 2)
הִתְרַפִּיתָ בְּיוֹם צָרָה צַר כֹּחֶכָה:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/21/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the three approaches we came up with yesterday, and then spent the bulk of the shiur refining our understanding of the distinction between laziness and laxity, which brought yesterday's ideas to a new level of clarity. We ended by briefly attempting to explain the alternative reading of our pasuk according to Rashi and Metzudas David. All in all, this was a great pasuk with beautiful and practical ideas!

Length: 1 hour 33 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (3/20/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a fairly straightforward pasuk which led to a BUNCH of nice ideas - some from us, and some from the meforshim. God willing, none of us should have to utilize this pasuk in its most literal application, but it is still quite applicable in many other areas of life.

Synopsis: This morning (3/15/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned one of the most difficult-to-translate Mishlei pesukim I've ever seen. There must be at least a dozen ways to translate it (hence, my extremely non-committal title). Still, we managed to develop a couple of viable approaches, and we'll see what the meforshim say tomorrow (בג"ה).

Mishlei 25:21-22 - Mishleic Vengeance: Against Your Enemy, Against Amalek, and Against Haman
(כא) אִם רָעֵב שֹׂנַאֲךָ הַאֲכִלֵהוּ לָחֶם וְאִם צָמֵא הַשְׁקֵהוּ מָיִם.
(כב) כִּי גֶחָלִים אַתָּה חֹתֶה עַל רֹאשׁוֹ וַי"י יְשַׁלֶּם לָךְ.
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/6/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we decided to take up a topic related to Purim. The Gemara in Megilah 15b cites a number of reasons why Esther invited Haman to her private parties. One answer is based on a couplet of pesukim in Mishlei about taking revenge. First we learned that couplet on its own, then we raised a problem with how the Gemara applies this. I then did a nearly full recap of the women's Machshavah Lab shiur I gave this Friday morning entitled "Mechiyas Amalek: Emulating a Vengeful God," with which we attempted to answer our question on the Gemara. If you missed that Friday shiur and want to listen to a version which is only half that length, then you're in luck!

The Torah content for the rest of Adar has been sponsored by my friend and chavrusa Zack, with the following dedicatory message: When asked, "Who is a leader you greatly admire?" my grandfather z”l immediately comes to mind. Each person who entered his presence was brought closer to a better version of themselves. This was due to his staunch belief in people and his uncompromising values. Knowledge is similar — it is indiscriminate and uncompromising in its power to help us become our best selves. Thank you Rabbi Schneeweiss for spreading knowledge, and may the memory of my grandfather, Naftali ben Tzvi, be a blessing.

Mishlei 12:8 - To Be Praised for Intellect
לְפִי שִׂכְלוֹ יְהֻלַּל אִישׁ וְנַעֲוֵה לֵב יִהְיֶה לָבוּז:
Length: 1 hour 45 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/27/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned one of the most fruitful pesukim we've ever learned. Going in I knew we were going to be treated to an abundance of ideas, and I wasn't disappointed! We (i.e. the people in the shiur) came up with seven approaches, and we had time to learn a few more approaches from the meforshim.

Mishlei 24:8 - How to Earn a Reputation as a Schemer (Part 1)
NOTE: I make a mistake when reading and translating this pasuk at the beginning of shiur (incorrectly placing the asnachta). The mistake is pointed out to me in the early part of shiur.
מְחַשֵּׁב לְהָרֵעַ לוֹ בַּעַל מְזִמּוֹת יִקְרָאוּ:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/27/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began an interestingly ambiguous pasuk about planning and plotting. We developed a few approaches - at least some of which are likely to be reflected in the meforshim we learn tomorrow (בג"ה).

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/21/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis on what has proven to be an AMAZINGLY rich and practical pasuk - especially for those who feel self-conscious about their ignorance in Torah (whether real or perceived), and for those who refrain from speaking up and asking questions or offering ideas in shiur and other learning situations.

Mishlei 12:7 - When Resha'im and Tzadikim are Overturned
הָפוֹךְ רְשָׁעִים וְאֵינָם וּבֵית צַדִּיקִים יַעֲמֹד:
Length: 1 hour 10 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/20/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned another pasuk which seemed super obvious. Even the Meiri said, "This is obvious" and didn't explain it! Nevertheless, we were able to get a nice idea out of it. It did have a sort of "vintage Mishlei" feel, but there was enough nuance to feel like it was a worthwhile discovery.

Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/20/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk about the relationship of the eveel (Mishleic fool) to chochmah. The strange thing is that the pasuk makes it sound like a positive relationship. We came up with three or four nice ideas on our own, with some help from the Meiri on Mishlei 1:7, and tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim on our pasuk have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 24:5-6 - Mishleic Machismo (Part 2)
(ה) גֶּבֶר חָכָם בַּעוֹז וְאִישׁ דַּעַת מְאַמֶּץ כֹּחַ. (ו) כִּי בְתַחְבֻּלוֹת תַּעֲשֶׂה לְּךָ מִלְחָמָה וּתְשׁוּעָה בְּרֹב יוֹעֵץ:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: Today (2/14/23) was a BIG day in Mishlei. I almost don't want to title this Day #2 of yesterday's pasuk, but I will because that's technically what it is. We began by reviewing yesterday's many translations, questions, and approaches. We then learned Rabbeinu Yonah whose masterful commentary FURTHER elucidated the definitions of chochmah, tevunah, and daas from the previous two pesukim. There remains a lot of work to be done, and it's possible we'll revisit this on Friday, but for now, I'm just thankful that we were able to gain such clarity from this gem of a Rabbeinu Yonah.

Length: 1 hour 12 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/13/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned yet another pasuk which appeared simple but raised LOTS of questions. Thankfully, we came up with three approaches which ended up being supported by the meforshim and one approach which has merit but still needs a little work.

Synopsis: This morning (2/8/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on Monday's pesukim. After reviewing the approach we came up with last time, we delved into Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary here, and in Chapters 2 and 3, in an effort to grasp his definitions of chochmah, tevunah, and daas. We plan to continue refining our understanding on Friday, and (בג"ה) arrive at an understanding of our pasuk on that basis.

Synopsis: Tonight (2/6/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we began with a little methodology discussion. I was asked the question: Do you ever get tired of approaching topics in the same formulaic way? After explaining this question, I deconstruct it, and explain why I do what I do.

Mishlei 12:5 - The Thoughts of Tzadikim vs. Resha'im
מַחְשְׁבוֹת צַדִּיקִים מִשְׁפָּט תַּחְבֻּלוֹת רְשָׁעִים מִרְמָה:
Length: 1 hour 12 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (2/6/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk that looked obvious - especially in light of the many similar pesukim we've learned in chapters 10 and 11. Not gonna lie: I was a little worried we wouldn't come up with anything. Thankfully, we came up with a good 6-7 ideas!

Mishlei 24:3-4 - Building a House with Chochmah, Tevunah, and Daas (Part 1)
(ג) בְּחׇכְמָה יִבָּנֶה בָּיִת וּבִתְבוּנָה יִתְכּוֹנָן: (ד) וּבְדַעַת חֲדָרִים יִמָּלְאוּ כׇּל הוֹן יָקָר וְנָעִים:
Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/6/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we tackled a difficult pasuk which seems to either require or teach us an understanding of the three terms: chochmah, tevunah, and daas. After outlining all the questions, we developed a basic approach which DOESN'T require a fluent understanding of the nuanced differences between these three terms. Next time we'll see if we can find any meforshim who can help us understand this pasuk in light of these terms.

Mishlei 24:1-2 - A Subtle Strategy for Not Being Jealous of Bad People (Part 2)

Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/3/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing and refining our approach from yesterday and explored some new angles with the help of some of our more underused meforshim. We then went back to the Rabbeinu Yonah to understand his seemingly "out of left field" explanation, which we were able to understand in light of our discussion.

Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (2/2/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new perek with a new couplet of pesukim. This pasuk ended up being surprisingly cryptic, but like many cryptic pesukim, the mystifying elements served as footholds which propelled us towards a nice idea. After we developed our idea, we checked out the Metzudas David, who seemed to take a similar approach, and the Rabbeinu Yonah, whom we'll revisit tomorrow.

Mishlei 12:4 - Malignant Marriages
אֵשֶׁת חַיִל עֲטֶרֶת בַּעְלָהּ וּכְרָקָב בְּעַצְמוֹתָיו מְבִישָׁה:
Length: 1 hour 12 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (1/30/23), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a new pasuk on a new topic featuring the first appearance in Mishlei of the famous "Eishes Chayil" archetype. The challenge of tonight's pasuk was in the analogies and the fact that the two halves didn't seem like they were opposites. Thankfully, Rabbeinu Yonah gave us what we needed to supplement our own ideas and develop a nice explanation.

Mishlei 23:29-35 - Mishlei's Discourse on Wine (Part 3) Derech Nistar
(כט) לְמִי אוֹי לְמִי אֲבוֹי לְמִי [מִדְיָנִים] (מדונים) לְמִי שִׂיחַ לְמִי פְּצָעִים חִנָּם לְמִי חַכְלִלוּת עֵינָיִם. (ל) לַמְאַחֲרִים עַל הַיָּיִן לַבָּאִים לַחְקֹר מִמְסָךְ.

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/11/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we attempted to learn our cluster of pesukim in a derech nistar fashion. The "bad" news is that the meforshim didn't provide us with much help. The good news is that we were able to develop our OWN derech nistar approach, based on what the Meiri gave us for Mishlei 23:20-21. If you listen to this shiur, my advice is to skip to the 21 minute mark which is when the ideas started flowing.

Synopsis: This morning (1/10/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we set out to discover a Mishleic chidush in this cluster of pesukim which lends itself to cliche ideas ... and we succeeded! We also learned Metzudas David and Rabbeinu Yonah, but our main idea came from our own thinking. Tomorrow we'll check out the Meiri and/or other derech nistar approaches.

Mishlei 12:3 - The Immovable Roots of Tzadikim
לֹא יִכּוֹן אָדָם בְּרֶשַׁע וְשֹׁרֶשׁ צַדִּיקִים בַּל יִמּוֹט:
Length: 1 hour 23 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (1/9/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned the next pasuk in our perek. This one initially seemed like a "cliche Mishlei pasuk," but ended up yielding profound insights: one in a more philosophical realm than we're used to, and another which helped us appreciate a new dimension of an old Mishleic idea. All in all, it was a fruitful pasuk!

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/9/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we tackled the WHOLE cluster of six pesukim about wine. Technically speaking, this is a continuation of last week's shiurim on Mishlei 23:29-30, but since we only have this one week left before break, we figured it would be best to get everything out on the table. After working through the translations, we developed a couple of promising approaches which we hope to continue developing tomorrow.

Mishlei 23:29-30 - Six Signs of a Mishleic Drinking Problem (Part 2)
(כט) לְמִי אוֹי לְמִי אֲבוֹי לְמִי [מִדְיָנִים] (מדונים) לְמִי שִׂיחַ לְמִי פְּצָעִים חִנָּם לְמִי חַכְלִלוּת עֵינָיִם. (ל) לַמְאַחֲרִים עַל הַיָּיִן לַבָּאִים לַחְקֹר מִמְסָךְ.
Length: 40 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (1/5/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took another stab at yesterday's pair of "riddle pesukim." We developed two approaches - one based on what we came up with yesterday, and another approach I came up with years ago. We poked around in some of the other meforshim afterwards, but most of them require the context of the remaining pesukim in the cluster. We DID, however, manage to find a commentary from an illustrious Rishon whom we have never learned on Mishlei before: the Ramban! He even gave us insight into the etymology of the English word "alcohol."

Synopsis: This morning (1/4/23), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began working on this "Mishleic riddle" which kicks off the final cluster of pesukim in the perek. We made some initial moves and read Metzudas David, but we ended by keeping things open. We'll see what the other meforshim have to say tomorrow, and it's possible we'll take three days on this couplet instead of the usual two.

NOTE: I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE! Towards the end of today's shiur, I accidentally said "Shadal" when I really meant "Shagar," and I didn't realize it until after the recording stopped. (I think the slip of tongue had something to do with the fact that I'm in the middle of writing a Shadal-based article.) Because of this error, I gave the erroneous impression that Shadal is associated with post-modernism, which is NOT true. Shagar is the one who is associated with post-modernism. I hope this clears things up.

Synopsis: This morning (12/28/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we reviewed Mishlei 23:26-27, we initially THOUGHT formed an independent unit, but subsequently realized should include 23:28 as well. After including pasuk 28 in our analysis we attempted to understand the trio of pesukim in accordance with the derech nigleh approach - first on our own, and then with Rabbeinu Yonah. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll try to understand them according to the derech nistar.

Synopsis: This morning (12/22/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning what I THOUGHT were the last two pesukim in the local cluster. Turns out, there's at least one more pasuk! This ended up working out: we decided to devote this morning to the derech nigleh approach, and next week (בג"ה) we'll incorporate pasuk 28 and take this up in the derech nistar.

Synopsis: This morning (12/21/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took up the last two pesukim in "the local cluster." These pesukim mention one of Mishlei's major tropes: guarding oneself against "strange women," which (obviously) is meant to be understood on both a literal (silver/nigleh) level and a metaphorical (gold/nistar) level. We raised the various questions and problems and started developing an approach today. We'll see what the meforshim say tomorrow.

Recap of Last Night's Findings on Rabbeinu Yonah's Definition of Chacham (vs. Tzadik)

Length: 42 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/20/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, I made a last-minute decision to recap last night's findings on Rabbeinu Yonah. The recap ended up taking up most of shiur, and - to be honest - I think last night's version is better to listen to, and I'm only uploading this in case someone wants a 42 minute version instead of an 82 minute version. We ended with a teaser for Rabbeinu Yonah's approach to Mishlei 2:1-5, which he understands to be a step-by-step guide for acquiring chochmah. We decided that we'll devote the rest of the week to finishing the "local cluster" sugya in 23, then devote next week to "Rabbeinu Yonah on Chochmah."

Rabbeinu Yonah's Definition of Chacham (vs. Tzadik)

Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: Last night (12/19/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we were down to a skeleton crew. Instead of continuing in our chapter, we decided to examine Rabbeinu Yonah's definition of chacham, in light of his commentary on this morning's pasuk (23:24). We began with a review of OUR definitions of chacham vs. tzadik, which have been developed over the past two decades of Mishlei learning and are rooted in Rabbi Moskowitz's approach. We then read Rabbeinu Yonah's commentaries on Mishlei 23:24 and Avos 4:1 and attempted to synthesize a unified definition. We managed to do so, with the exception of one sticky point which we left aside. All in all, it was a productive evening, and I'm confident that this will prove to be a good investment for our future learning of Rabbeinu Yonah.

Mishlei 23:24-25 - Joyous Parents of Righteous and Wise Children

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/19/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we encountered yet another pair of generic sounding "parents directing their kids to mussar" pesukim. After raising our questions as usual and exploring a few avenues, we decided to jump into the meforshim today. Several of the approaches we read didn't look particularly fruitful, but we encountered what seems to be a fundamental Rabbeinu Yonah. Tomorrow we'll revisit that Rabbeinu Yonah before moving on to the next set of pesukim.

Mishlei 23:23 - The Most Valuable Investment Advice EVER (Part 2)
אֱמֶת קְנֵה וְאַל תִּמְכֹּר, חׇכְמָה וּמוּסָר וּבִינָה
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/15/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we spent nearly all our time developing one of the approaches we raised yesterday which we augmented with the Metzudas David's halachic approach. Thankfully, it finally came together in the end. We also gave a nod to Rabbeinu Yonah's approach, which was just as valuable, but which we didn't have sufficient time to explore.

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/14/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began our analysis of a pasuk about investment advice - that is, investment in truth, wisdom, discipline, and understanding. We came up with four approaches, and didn't even have time to check out the meforshim. We'll see where they take us tomorrow.

שְׁמַע לְאָבִיךָ זֶה יְלָדֶךָ וְאַל תָּבוּז כִּי זָקְנָה אִמֶּךָ
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/13/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we had an EXTREMELY productive learning session. Our review of yesterday's approaches brought out new insights and avenues of application and our exploration of the meforshim led to even more. I was delighted by how fruitful this seemingly generic pasuk proved to be.

Mishlei 12:2 - Goodness vs. Scheming
טוֹב יָפִיק רָצוֹן מֵי"י וְאִישׁ מְזִמּוֹת יַרְשִׁיעַ:
Length: 1 hour 26 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (12/12/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we tackled a VERY difficult pasuk, in terms of the translation and the analysis. Thankfully, we quickly developed several approaches which merged into a general approach which we then developed into a new insight into Mishleic development! Afterwards, we checked out a handful of explanations from the commentaries, and then called it a night. This was another reminder that you really can't predict where any given pasuk will take you.

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/12/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk which at the very VERY first glance seemed to be one of those generic "listen to your parents" pesukim. We quickly discovered that there were LOTS of nuances and footholds for us to work with. We developed around 2.5 approaches and didn't even have time to check out any of the meforshim, which is a step that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Length: 40 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/8/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we gained a TON of amazing insights into yesterday's pesukim. Not only did we refine our understanding of the derech nigleh approach, but we also learned the derech nistar approach of the Meiri and the GRA who apply these pesukim to bad habits in learning. (And if you are interested in the part we didn't record, ask me, and if you're included in that intended audience, I'll share it.)

Mishlei 23:19 - How to Straighten Your Heart, and Why (Part 2)
שְׁמַע אַתָּה בְנִי וַחֲכָם וְאַשֵּׁר בַּדֶּרֶךְ לִבֶּךָ.
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/6/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we came up with yesterday. After giving Rabbeinu Yonah another try, we found other meforshim who supported the approach we took. We then attempted to learn the Malbim's approach to this cluster of pesukim. Lastly, I shared an important idea from last night's Monday Night Mishlei shiur, since we had extra time and I thought that the idea was really important.

Mishlei 12:1 - What it Takes to Be a True Philosopher
אֹהֵב מוּסָר אֹהֵב דָּעַת, וְשׂוֹנֵא תוֹכַחַת בָּעַר:
Synopsis: Tonight (12/5/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we began a new chapter of Mishlei ... not that there's any significance to the chapter numbers. This pasuk proved to be SUPER fundamental, not only to the subject matter of Mishlei, but to life itself. We came up with 4-5 approaches, then briefly consulted two meforshim before bringing the shiur to a conclusion.

Mishlei 23:19 - How to Straighten Out Your Heart, and Why (Part 1)
שְׁמַע אַתָּה בְנִי וַחֲכָם וְאַשֵּׁר בַּדֶּרֶךְ לִבֶּךָ.
Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/5/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned one of those pesukim which seems hopelessly generic at first glance. Thankfully, we quickly found inroads and - thanks to the Metzudos - we were able to develop an idea which naturally flowed from the sequence of pesukim in the local cluster. We ended by reading Rabbeinu Yonah, which we didn't understand. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll give him another try and see what the other meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 23:17-18 - Envy of Sinners and Fear of Hashem (Part 2)

Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/1/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took another crack at yesterday's pair of pesukim. Although we made headway in understanding the first pasuk and managed to get a general approach to the main idea, we didn't find any satisfactory explanations for the questions we had on the second pasuk. C'est la vie.

Mishlei 23:17-18 - Envy of Sinners and Fear of Hashem (Part 1)
(יז) אַל יְקַנֵּא לִבְּךָ בַּחַטָּאִים כִּי אִם בְּיִרְאַת י"י כׇּל הַיּוֹם:
(יח) כִּי אִם יֵשׁ אַחֲרִית וְתִקְוָתְךָ לֹא תִכָּרֵת:
Length: 45 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/30/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began another couplet of pesukim on the theme of a father's mussar to his son. This one featured a strange juxtaposition and an even stranger benefit/consequence. We toyed with several approaches and read the Metzudas David, but we'll check out the other meforshim tomorrow (בג"ה).
Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!

Mishlei 23:15-16 - Happy Hearts and Jubilant Kidneys (Part 2)
טו) בְּנִי אִם חָכַם לִבֶּךָ יִשְׂמַח לִבִּי גַם אָנִי).
(טז) וְתַעְלֹזְנָה כִלְיוֹתָי בְּדַבֵּר שְׂפָתֶיךָ מֵישָׁרִים:
Length: 46 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/29/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on yesterday's set of pesukim. The good news is that we got more intel on Chazal's view of what the kidneys do and how their function relates to that of the heart. The "bad" news is that we weren't able to come up with an approach based on that data. We dabbled in three other approaches: that of the GRA, the Metzudos, and the Rid, and felt most comfortable with that of the Metzudos, even though we weren't entirely satisfied.

Mishlei 11:31 - The Tzadik, Rasha, and Chotey Will ALL Be Punished
הֵן צַדִּיק בָּאָרֶץ יְשֻׁלָּם אַף כִּי רָשָׁע וְחוֹטֵא:
Length: 1 hour 47 minutes
Synopsis: Tonight (11/28/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned the last pasuk in chapter 11. This was an interesting one which gave rise to lots of juicy ideas (in addition to my "hishtadlus rant"). Thanks to peer pressure, I even recapped all the ideas at the very end of the shiur. Next week we shall begin chapter 12 (בג"ה)!

Synopsis: This morning (11/28/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new set of pesukim which continue the theme of fathers facilitating the self-improvement of their sons. This is one of those "generic"-sounding Mishlei messages, which pose a unique interpretive challenge. We came up with some partial approaches and glanced at the Metzudas David. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll consult the other meforshim.

Mishlei 11:30 - Tzadikim vs. Chachamim in the Realm of Teaching and Learning
פְּרִי צַדִּיק עֵץ חַיִּים וְלֹקֵחַ נְפָשׁוֹת חָכָם:
Tonight (11/21/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which - in a rare Mishleic move - compares a tzadik with a chacham! We came up with two fully developed ideas on our own, learned one idea from Rabbeinu Yonah, and took a wild ride down a road I can only describe as "phantasmagoric Proverb peirush."

Synopsis: This morning (11/17/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took another swing at yesterday's pesukim and had to pull out all the stops to find something. After refining yesterday's idea, we partially developed another pshat approach and fully developed a derech nistar approach.

Synopsis: This morning (11/16/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new set of pesukim which begin much like a pasuk we learned at the end of Chapter 22. The challenge here was to figure out which scenario(s) is being discussed. We came up with a nice approach, and then read Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation (which was a bit too brief for our tastes, compared to his commentary on 22:28). Tomorrow we'll check ou the other meforshim.

Mishlei 23:9 - Don't Speak in the Ears of a Ksil (Part 2)
בְּאׇזְנֵי כְסִיל אַל תְּדַבֵּר כִּי יָבוּז לְשֵׂכֶל מִלֶּיךָ.
Synopsis: This morning (11/15/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's developed idea (which we supported with the Malbim) and developing yesterday's undeveloped idea. We then came up with two more approaches and two more meforshim. In other words, it was a really fruitful morning!

Mishlei 11:29 - The Conflicts and Complications of Corrupt Home Economics
עֹכֵר בֵּיתוֹ יִנְחַל רוּחַ וְעֶבֶד אֱוִיל לַחֲכַם לֵב:
Tonight (11/14/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which I had never learned before. Man, was it tough! We came up with a few good approaches for the first or second halves of the pasuk, but couldn't develop them into a full idea. We then read Metzudas David's approach, which gave us a full explanation, but left us scratching our heads as to why any single pasuk would combine such a weird variety of particular points. That question led us to grasp the REAL chidush of the pasuk, which ended up being central to Mishlei methodology.

בְּאׇזְנֵי כְסִיל אַל תְּדַבֵּר כִּי יָבוּז לְשֵׂכֶל מִלֶּיךָ.
Synopsis: This morning (11/14/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new pasuk which feels like "classic Mishlei" - and therein lay the challenge! After reviewing two definitions of ksil (Rabbeinu Yonah's and mine) we developed an approach to the pasuk. We then read Saadia Gaon's commentary, which took a very different track. Tomorrow we'll try to refine that idea, and then see what the other meforshim have to say.
Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!

Mishlei 23:6-8 - The Hidden Costs of a Miser's Bread (Part 2)
(ו) אַל תִּלְחַם אֶת לֶחֶם רַע עָיִן, וְאַל תִּתְאָו לְמַטְעַמֹּתָיו. (ז) כִּי כְּמוֹ שָׁעַר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ כֶּן הוּא, אֱכוֹל וּשְׁתֵה יֹאמַר לָךְ וְלִבּוֹ בַּל עִמָּךְ. (ח) פִּתְּךָ אָכַלְתָּ תְקִיאֶנָּה, וְשִׁחַתָּ דְּבָרֶיךָ הַנְּעִימִים:
Synopsis: This morning (11/10/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the Metzudas David's approach to our trio of pesukim which we developed yesterday, which led to a new point in Mishlei methodology. Next, we learned the Rabbeinu Yonah's take on our pesukim, which yielded a sharp insight into Mishlei methodology. After that we learned the Meiri's derech nistar approach, which (unfortunately) will resonate with far too many people. Last, we quickly read through the Ri Nachmias to see if he had anything else to offer. All in all, it was a really bountiful set of pesukim!

Synopsis: This morning (11/9/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a trio of pesukim which are remarkably similar to 23:1-3. We developed a solid approach which was strengthened by Metzudas David. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll check out some other meforshim, and - hopefully! - explore a derech nistar approach.

Synopsis: This morning (11/8/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the two approaches we had yesterday, and then developed them into full ideas through the meforshim. We ended with a derech nistar approach from the Meiri and Rashi which applies our pasuk to bekius learning.

Mishlei 11:28 - Trusting in Wealth vs. Blossoming Like ... A Leaf?
בּוֹטֵחַ בְּעׇשְׁרוֹ הוּא יִפּוֹל וְכֶעָלֶה צַדִּיקִים יִפְרָחוּ:
Tonight (11/7/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk with a strange sounding, underwhelming, mixed metaphor. It was that sense of strangeness which fueled our analysis. We ended up with around 80% of a complete idea, but I think it's too rough around the edges to be deemed "complete." If you have anything to contribute to our understanding, I'm all ears!

Synopsis: This morning (11/7/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned through a couplet of pesukim which, on the surface, seem to discourage the pursuit of wealth, and maybe even the utilization of binah. Needless to say, this goes against a number of other pesukim in Mishlei. We developed two approaches today - one on our own, and one based on the Metzudas David - and we'll continue to develop our understanding tomorrow.

Mishlei 23:1 - The Dangers of a Ruler's False Delicacies (Part 3)

Synopsis: This morning (11/4/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we learned through the first derech nistar approach in the Meiri, which applied our pesukim to the relationship between a talmid and a rav. The Meiri suggested a number of interpretations within this general approach, but we focused on getting the main idea.

Synopsis: This morning (11/3/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by developing one of our own ideas which bridged nicely into Saadia Gaon's explanation. We then read Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary and compared and contrasted the two approaches in terms of methodology. Lastly, we took a shot at our own derech nistar approach, which the Meiri endorsed.

What that danger is, who Mishlei is talking to, and why this warning is necessary - these and other questions were the focus of our analysis. That, and some tips about how to improve one's translation skills.

Synopsis: This morning (11/31/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on yesterday's pasuk. Although we didn't manage to develop yesterday's approach much further, we did develop three nice ideas, thanks to the meforshim.

Mishlei 11:27 - The Investment of Seeking Good
שֹׁחֵר טוֹב יְבַקֵּשׁ רָצוֹן וְדֹרֵשׁ רָעָה תְבוֹאֶנּוּ:
Tonight (10/31/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we tackled a pasuk that looked obvious, and therefore, difficult. Personally, I wasn't sure we'd manage to come up with ANY ideas. With Hashem's help, we were able to come up with three or four, depending on how you count - ideas which yielded new insight and sharpened our understanding of previous pesukim. It turned out to a good haul!

We developed a nice approach, but felt it was still a little rough around the edges. We'll revisit it tomorrow (בג"ה) and then consult the meforshim.

Mishlei 22:28 - Don't Mess With the Fence (Part 2)
אַל תַּסֵּג גְּבוּל עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ אֲבוֹתֶיךָ.
Synopsis: This morning (10/27/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing and expanding upon the explanation we gave for Rabbeinu Yonah yesterday focusing on the halachic example of why a person shouldn't talk between netilas yadayim and ha'motzi EVEN IF such speech is halachically justifiable. We then examined some meforshim who more or less agreed with Rabbeinu Yonah, with slight variations. Next, we learned two Derech Nistar approaches from the Meiri. Lastly, we attempted to understand the idea according to those who take the pasuk at face value. We concluded with a real-world Mishleic test I faced involving the desolation of Wyoming, a state park official, and a lone red light.

Synopsis: This morning (10/26/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a new pasuk - one with the clean, simple-to-read style of Mishlei's later chapters. We quickly mapped out a few promising approaches, one of which was endorsed by Rabbeinu Yonah. We were well on our way to developing a full explanation of Rabbeinu Yonah's idea, with abundant examples, but we had to end shiur, so as not to move the long-standing boundary of morning seder.

Mishlei 11:26 - Resource Management at a Time of Societal Scarcity
מֹנֵעַ בָּר יִקְּבֻהוּ לְאוֹם, וּבְרָכָה לְרֹאשׁ מַשְׁבִּיר.
Tonight (10/24/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned yet another pasuk which looked like the idea would be obvious. Once again, we were led to a nuanced idea - several, in fact. We even managed to learn a derech nistar application.

Mishlei 22:24-25 - The Snare of a Hotheaded Friend (Part 2)
(כד) אַל תִּתְרַע אֶת בַּעַל אָף וְאֶת אִישׁ חֵמוֹת לֹא תָבוֹא: (כה) פֶּן תֶּאֱלַף אֹרְחֹתָו וְלָקַחְתָּ מוֹקֵשׁ לְנַפְשֶׁךָ:
Synopsis: This morning (10/4/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, began by reviewing and refining the approaches we took yesterday, venturing into some important side topics - such as the lo taaseh of lo tisna es achicha bilvavecha and the importance of choosing good friends. We then learned Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary which not only provided a beautiful expalanation of our pesukim, but also shed light on other bad middos as well. All in all, it was a great set of Erev Yom ha'Kippurim ideas to think about.

Mishlei 11:25 - The Benefits of Giving When You Have Little to Give
נֶפֶשׁ בְּרָכָה תְדֻשָּׁן וּמַרְוֶה גַּם הוּא יוֹרֶא:
Tonight (10/3/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which was deceptively simple on the surface, then surprised us by yielding lots of questions, then led us to think that the idea was obviously, only to surprise us by leading to a nuanced idea in tzedakah and teaching. Suffice it to say, it was a roller-coaster of a pasuk, and in the best way!

Mishlei 22:24-25 - The Snare of a Hotheaded Friend (Part 1)
(כד) אַל תִּתְרַע אֶת בַּעַל אָף וְאֶת אִישׁ חֵמוֹת לֹא תָבוֹא: (כה) פֶּן תֶּאֱלַף אֹרְחֹתָו וְלָקַחְתָּ מוֹקֵשׁ לְנַפְשֶׁךָ:
Synopsis: This morning (10/3/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new couplet about the detrimental influence of angry people on their friends and those in their vicinity. After identifying all the questions and discussing some Mishlei methodology, we came up with a few approaches on our own. Tomorrow we'll give it another try before consulting the meforshim.

Mishlei 22:22-23 - Robbing the Poor Because They Are Poor (Part 2)
(כב) אַל תִּגְזׇל דָּל כִּי דַל הוּא וְאַל תְּדַכֵּא עָנִי בַשָּׁעַר.
(כג) כִּי י"י יָרִיב רִיבָם וְקָבַע אֶת קֹבְעֵיהֶם נָפֶשׁ:
Synopsis: This morning (9/29/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's idea in an attempt to refine it and to explore variants. Then we learned the Meiri's derech nistar approach, which we applied to the practical case of sleep and selichos, followed by the R' Yosef Kimchi's similar allegorical approach - both of which were fascinating.

This morning (9/28/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we analyzed an odd couplet of pesukim. The hava amina in the first pasuk is exceedingly strange, as is the reason given in the second pasuk. We developed our own approach which was similar enough to an approach I wrote up in 2018, based on Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary. We read through both and ended up with a nice idea, but there's still a lot more to explore tomorrow.

Mishlei 22:17-21 - An Enigmatic (Egyptian?) Exordium (Part 2)
(יז) הַט אׇזְנְךָ וּשְׁמַע דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים וְלִבְּךָ תָּשִׁית לְדַעְתִּי׃ (יח) כִּי נָעִים כִּי תִשְׁמְרֵם בְּבִטְנֶךָ, יִכֹּנוּ יַחְדָּו עַל שְׂפָתֶיךָ׃ (יט) לִהְיוֹת בַּי"י מִבְטַחֶךָ, הוֹדַעְתִּיךָ הַיּוֹם אַף אָתָּה: (כ) הֲלֹא כָתַבְתִּי לְךָ [שָׁלִשִׁים] (שלשום) בְּמֹעֵצוֹת וָדָעַת. (כא) לְהוֹדִיעֲךָ קֹשְׁטְ אִמְרֵי אֱמֶת לְהָשִׁיב אֲמָרִים אֱמֶת לְשֹׁלְחֶיךָ.
This morning (9/22/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we set out to understand the main idea of this confusing cluster of pesukim - and we succeeded! We began with one of our own insights, which we developed and supported with ideas from the meforshim. This ended up providing a really nice insight into one of the hitherto underappreciated objectives of Mishlei, namely, to cultivate bitachon in Hashem (in a Mishleic way).

This morning (9/21/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we tackled a confusing cluster of five perplexing pesukim. Because I knew we'd only have two days to work on these this week, and we wouldn't be back until Tzom Gedaliah, I thought it best to focus on the MAJOR questions and the MAIN idea without getting bogged down in the details. Before our analysis got underway, we got involved in an important tangent in answering the question: What do we make of the fact that the 30 pesukim beginning with Mishlei 22:17 bear an uncanny resemblance to the Egyptian wisdom literature text known as "Instruction of Amenemope," which seems to have been composed over a century before Shlomo ha'Melech wrote Mishlei? After that tangent, we managed to formulate three major questions, which we will endeavor to answer tomorrow (בג"ה).

Mishlei 22:16 - The Bad Investments of Extorting the Poor and Giving to the Rich (Part 2)
עֹשֵׁק דָּל לְהַרְבּוֹת לוֹ, נֹתֵן לְעָשִׁיר אַךְ לְמַחְסוֹר:
This morning (9/20/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we revisited yesterday's pasuk. I worried that we wouldn't come up with anything, but we ended up arriving at three complete interpretations: one of our own, one based on Rashi, and one based on Ralbag. I'll add that if anyone is struggling with an uncontrollable taivah (desire/addiction), then I highly recommend listening to this shiur - or at least the last 20 minutes, where I delve into some of the best strategies I've learned for how to deal with the yetzer ha'ra in such situations.

Mishlei 11:24 - Why You Should Scatter Your Money and Your Knowledge
יֵשׁ מְפַזֵּר וְנוֹסָף עוֹד וְחֹשֵׂךְ מִיֹּשֶׁר אַךְ לְמַחְסוֹר
Tonight (9/19/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which was both vague and tricky to read. After a rocky start, we ended up developing five different approaches, augmented by three meforshim! Not only were these ideas eminently practical, but they happen to be the perfect Mishlei idea to prepare us for the Aseres Ymei Teshuvah, when tzedakah-giving is valued at a premium.

This morning (9/15/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we spent a fourth and final day on our pasuk. We began by reviewing my Mishlei s-tier rankings, to explain why I don't typically use the GRA and the Malbim. We then spent the bulk of shiur trying to understand the GRA, and then did the same for the Malbim. Although we didn't succeed in fully developing either approach, we did come away with some new insights.

This morning (9/14/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's idea, after recapping the "Standard Assignment" I regularly employed in my high school Mishlei curriculum. Next, we learned Saadia Gaon's interpretation, which has a completely different focus than ours. Last, we learned Ralbag's commentary and endeavored to understand how it fits in line with Saadia Gaon's. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll tackle an entirely different approach in the Malbim, assited by the Gra.

Mishlei 22:15 - The Knotty Challenge of Disciplining a Youth (Part 2)
אִוֶּלֶת קְשׁוּרָה בְלֶב נָעַר שֵׁבֶט מוּסָר יַרְחִיקֶנָּה מִמֶּנּוּ:
This morning (9/13/22), in our (truncated) morning Mishlei shiur, we fully developed our ideas from yesterday. I'd say that we came up with one approach with a few variations and nuances that are all possibilities. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll learn the meforshim.
Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments!

Mishlei 11:23 - The Lusts of the Righteous and the Hopes of the Wicked
תַּאֲוַת צַדִּיקִים אַךְ טוֹב, תִּקְוַת רְשָׁעִים עֶבְרָה:
Tonight (9/12/22), in our first Monday Night Mishlei Shiur of the 2022-2023 yeshiva year, we learned a seemingly counterintuitive pasuk about tzadikim and reshaim. We came up with four explanations of the pasuk on our own, before turning to the meforshim, who furnished us with one support, one new idea, and one inspiration for a fifth approach. We also discussed a lot of Mishlei methodology and - more importantly - had a really enjoyable time!

This morning (9/12/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a new pasuk which proved difficult to read, due to the ambiguity of its pronouns. We developed several approaches, all of which still need some work, but we definitely made headway into the main ideas of the subject matter, which is promising for tomorrow when we learn the meforshim.

Mishlei 22:14 - The Pitfall of the Strange Woman's Rhetoric (Part 2)
שׁוּחָה עֲמֻקָּה פִּי זָרוֹת, זְעוּם י"י [יִפׇּל] (יפול) שָׁם:
This morning (9/8/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's pasuk, dividing it into three clear readings, and then attempting to uncover an idea from each. We developed an idea about the literal reading (i.e. that it's talking about an actual woman) based on Rabbeinu Yonah, and rushed through an idea about the allegorical reading (i.e. that it's talking about heretical philosophy) based on Metzudas David and Malbim, but we didn't have time to get to the third approach. There's a possibility we'll spend a third day on this, but most likely, we'll do Q&A tomorrow.

This morning (9/7/22), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we picked up where we left off last year. Today's pasuk contains at least one mashal, if not two. Our time was a little cut short, due to our dwelling on some methodology points and due to our limited Zoom account, but we still managed to suggest a few approaches. Tomorrow we'll turn to the meforshim.

Mishlei 13:4 - The Souls of the Lazy and the Diligent
מִתְאַוָּה וָאַיִן נַפְשׁוֹ עָצֵל וְנֶפֶשׁ חָרֻצִים תְּדֻשָּׁן:
This morning (6/16/22), in our last Morning Mishlei shiur of the season, we took up another pasuk about laziness. This one seems obvious at first, but the pasuk includes a nuance that points to something more profound. We might not have succeeded in extracting the full chidush from that nuance (since we only had one day instead of our usual two) but I think we got around 90% of the way there. If you come up with anything, please let me know!

This morning (6/15/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by revisiting the pasuk we had been working on for the past two sessions - and we came up with an idea! Next, we tackled one of my favorite pesukim about laziness and arrived at some really nice insights. Tomorrow (בג"ה) will be our last Morning Mishlei shiur of the season. Not sure what we're going to do, but I hope we go out with a bang!

Mishlei 22:12 - How Hashem Thwarts Traitors (Part 2)
עֵינֵי יי נָצְרוּ דָעַת וַיְסַלֵּף דִּבְרֵי בֹגֵד:
This morning (6/14/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we took another pass at yesterday's pasuk. I'm not gonna lie: today was the most frustratingly difficult day of Mishlei learning all year. For me, at least. I've given 140 recorded Mishlei shiurim this year alone, and never once have we failed to arrive at least ONE solid idea - until today. We had half-baked ideas, intuitions, and even solid leads from the meforshim, but nothing that made me feel like I can say, "Here's a good explanation of this pasuk." I'm going to try to see if I can find SOMETHING promising for tomorrow. Either way, we'll move on to the next pasuk. If you think of anything, please let me know.

Mishlei 11:22 - Like a Golden Ring in the Snout of a Pig
נֶזֶם זָהָב בְּאַף חֲזִיר אִשָּׁה יָפָה וְסָרַת טָעַם:
This evening (6/13/22), in our final Monday Night Mishlei Shiur of the year, we learned a very straightforward pasuk - but such straightforwardness can make things deceptively nuanced. We ended up arriving at several different approaches. We concluded the shiur with a reflection on how our year of Monday Night Mishlei went, and - at the request of one of our regular participants - we talked about how everyone either can improve or has improved. It's been a great year, and I can't wait to resume, whenever that may be!

This morning (6/10/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning yesterday's tricky pasuk. After a semi-successful review, we learned Saadia Gaon's idea, followed by Rabbeinu Yonah, followed by the Meiri. NONE of these approaches had anything to do with how we learned the pasuk yesterday, but they still gave us plenty of nice insights to think about, along with a little methodology as well.

This morning (6/9/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we started learning a pasuk which proved difficult to read. The only thing we know for sure is that it's about the relationship between speech and a king - hence, the title of this shiur, which also happens to be an excellent movie. Beyond that, questions abound. We developed a few approaches to day and we ended off reading Saadia Gaon's interpretation. Tomorrow we'll see what the other meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 22:10 - The Only Way to Deal with a Leitz (Part 2)
גָּרֵשׁ לֵץ וְיֵצֵא מָדוֹן וְיִשְׁבֹּת דִּין וְקָלוֹן:
This morning (6/8/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a trio of commentators who interpreted the words in the pasuk similarly, although they diverged in the particulars. In light of their ideas, we reconsidered the pasuk in light of our own approaches from yesterday and emerged with a greater understanding of the practical insights that the pasuk has to offer, even if we didn't quite put a bow on the pasuk itself.

This morning (6/7/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we started a new pasuk on a topic we discussed at length earlier this year: the leitz (scoffer). We quickly developed a few approaches to the pasuk as a whole, but it seems that the devil is in the details. Tomorrow we'll revisit the pasuk and see if we can get clean answers to the questions we raised today, and then see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 22:9 - True Blessing Comes from Splitting Sandwiches (Part 2)
טוֹב עַיִן הוּא יְבֹרָךְ כִּי נָתַן מִלַּחְמוֹ לַדָּל:
This morning (6/2/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the two approaches we took yesterday, the first of which was bolstered by Saadia Gaon's commentary. We were about to start learning the meforshim when one of the guys reminded me of an unanswered question we left off with. That led to a HUGE discussion about the relationship between knowledge, middos, and actions. While we might not have arrived at a consensus, we definitely gained clarity. Tomorrow we'll see what the OTHER meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

This morning (6/1/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we resumed our Mishlei shiurim with a simple-to-read and fun-to-analyze pasuk about "giving from your bread to the poor." After proposing a few different approaches, we found one which answered all of our questions and led to a beautiful and fundamental idea. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

I'm sharing this recording on all five of my podcasts, regardless of their subject matter, because Rabbi Moskowitz is responsible for all the Torah I learn and teach. But we all know that this IS appropriate for my Mishlei podcast.
This is the audio of the eulogy I gave for my beloved rebbi, Rabbi Morton Moskowitz zt"l on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5782 (May 30th, 2022). For the video, click here.
I plan on typing up the transcript of the abridged version of the eulogy (which is the one I gave), as well as the full version of the eulogy (which I haven't yet completed). I'll post links here once they're complete.
If you're interested in the video of the full levaya, which includes the other six incredible and moving eulogies that were given, contact me and I'll send you the link. (I'm not posting it here because I haven't yet asked Mrs. Moskowitz whether she wants the video of the levaya shared publicly on YouTube.)

We raised numerous questions and proposed numerous approaches, but if you ask me (and some of the guys in the shiur may beg to differ) we were unable to develop a full and satisfactory explanation. We'll take another crack at it tomorrow (בג"ה), and hopefully the meforshim will be able to help us.

Mishlei 22:7 - Mishlei on Hierarchical Socioeconomic Relationships (Part 2)
עָשִׁיר בְּרָשִׁים יִמְשׁוֹל וְעֶבֶד לֹוֶה לְאִישׁ מַלְוֶה:
This morning (5/24/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with my grateful acknowledgement that this is my 300th Mishlei shiur, which I paired with an idea about the benefits of learning Mishlei every day. After that, we reviewed the four approaches we came up with yesterday. Then, in a surprise twist, we went straight to "derech nistar" approaches. We developed a few on our own and then read through the Meiri's commentary ... which we didn't understand. It remains to be seen whether we spend a third day on this pasuk or whether we move on.

Mishlei 11:21 - Mishleic Hand to Hand Combat ... In a Manner of Speaking
יָד לְיָד לֹא יִנָּקֶה רָּע, וְזֶרַע צַדִּיקִים נִמְלָט:
This evening (5/23/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned one of those pasuk that makes you go, "What the WHAT?!" I was worried about whether we would be able to figure out even ONE idea, but we walked away with five: three of our own, and two from the meforshim. We concluded with an idea about Mishleic thinking in general. All in all, it was a very fruitful pasuk!

Mishlei 22:6 - Mishlei's Approach to Chinuch ... Whatever That Term Means (Part 2)
חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ גַּם כִּי יַזְקִין לֹא יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה:
This morning (5/19/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning yesterday's pasuk - and boy did we get a TON of ideas about teaching and parenting! After reviewing what we came up with yesterday, we learned the commentaries of Saadia Gaon, Meiri, and Rabbeinu Yonah, all of which were supplemented with ideas from Rabbi Chait's NR Parenting shiurim (a.k.a. the most important recorded shiurim I've ever listened to). I'm sure there's much more to unpack here, but we certainly came away with a good haul this time!

Mishlei 22:6 - Mishlei's Approach to Chinuch ... Whatever That Term Means (Part 1)
חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ גַּם כִּי יַזְקִין לֹא יָסוּר מִמֶּנָּה:
This morning (5/18/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning one of the most frequently quoted pesukim in all of Mishlei. Because this pasuk lends itself to "fire from the hip" interpretations, we had to make a concerted effort to slow down and really LISTEN to what the pasuk has to say - and it paid off! We came up with several approaches that have potential. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 22:5 - The Perilous Path of the Crooked (Part 2)
צִנִּים פַּחִים בְּדֶרֶךְ עִקֵּשׁ שׁוֹמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ יִרְחַק מֵהֶם:
This morning (5/17/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning yesterday's pasuk. After reviewing what we did yesterday, we were delighted to see that Rabbeinu Yonah said almost EXACTLY what we said. After refining yesterday's idea, in light of the meforshim and in light of last night's pasuk (which also involved the "crooked" individual), we suggested a pseudo-Meiri application and then proposed an explanation for the Gemara we referenced yesterday. It was a fruitful morning!

Mishlei 11:20 - Hashem Hates Crooked Hearts
תּוֹעֲבַת י"י עִקְּשֵׁי לֵב וּרְצוֹנוֹ תְּמִימֵי דָרֶךְ:
This evening (5/16/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a difficult pasuk which several of our "go to" meforshim deemed to be so obvious that they felt they didn't need to comment. Thankfully, we were able to arrive at one complete idea and several other strong approaches. As it so happens, one of the terms in our pasuk also showed up in the pasuk we learned in my Morning Mishlei shiur this morning, which we'll continue learning tomorrow. We'll see if the two pesukim connect.

צִנִּים פַּחִים בְּדֶרֶךְ עִקֵּשׁ שׁוֹמֵר נַפְשׁוֹ יִרְחַק מֵהֶם:
This morning (5/16/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a very strange-sounding pasuk. Despite having only three people in shiur, we came up with a really good explanation which answered all of our questions. We briefly took a look at how Chazal interpret our pasuk, which we hope to revisit tomorrow, and we concluded with the Malbim's radically different (Galenic) interpretation. Tomorrow we'll review what we did today, and then delve into the meforshim.

Mishlei 15:31-33 - The Developmental Trajectory of One Who Listens to Tochachah
(לא) אֹזֶן שֹׁמַעַת תּוֹכַחַת חַיִּים בְּקֶרֶב חֲכָמִים תָּלִין.
(לב) פּוֹרֵעַ מוּסָר מוֹאֵס נַפְשׁוֹ וְשׁוֹמֵעַ תּוֹכַחַת קוֹנֶה לֵּב.
(לג) יִרְאַת י"י מוּסַר חׇכְמָה וְלִפְנֵי כָבוֹד עֲנָוָה:
This morning (5/12/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we (ambitiously) set out to learn not one, not two, but THREE pesukim, chosen because the third one came up earlier this week and I thought it would be beneficial to understand it in context. Because we only decided to spend one day on this, we did a quick initial analysis and then took up Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary, which led to a nice, practical idea.

Mishlei 22:4 - The Benefits of Humility (Part 3)
עֵקֶב עֲנָוָה יִרְאַת י"י עֹשֶׁר וְכָבוֹד וְחַיִּים:
This morning (5/11/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on yesterday's pasuk. We learned three similar approaches from Metzudas David, Ralbag, and the Malbim, then attempted to synthesize what we learned into a fully formed idea, factoring in other approaches that were raised over the past two days. Did we succeed? I believe so! But even if we didn't, we definitely arrived at a greater understanding of the interrelationship between humility and fear of Hashem.

This morning (5/10/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on yesterday's pasuk. If Mishleic fruitfulness is measured by how many finalized ideas we arrive at, then today's session was fruitless. Thankfully, I define Mishleic fruitfulness by the richness of the discussion, and by that standard, today's shiur was VERY fruitful. We developed a number of approaches and insights, and are poised for Day 3, in which we'll delve into the meforshim (בג"ה).

Mishlei 11:19 - True Tzedakah and Its Opposite
כֵּן צְדָקָה לְחַיִּים וּמְרַדֵּף רָעָה לְמוֹתוֹ:
Last night (5/9/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a tough pasuk - tough because of its wording, and because of its generality. It took us a little while to find our footing, but when we did, we ended up developing three (or, at least, two and a half) ideas. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to delve into the meforshim, but there's nothing stopping anyone from doing so on their own!

This morning (5/9/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning what looks to be a foundational pasuk about two important qualities: humility and fear of Hashem. The fact that the pasuk speaks in such generalities makes it difficult to approach, but we raised a few possibilities and I'm optimistic about tomorrow (בג"ה).

This morning (5/5/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on our pasuk from yesterday and we came up with three (or four, depending on who you ask) nice ideas! More importantly, we emerged with a greater understanding of and appreciation for the Mishleic personality of the arum.

Mishlei 22:2 - Hashem Makes the Rich and the Poor (Part 2)
עָשִׁיר וָרָשׁ נִפְגָּשׁוּ עֹשֵׂה כֻלָּם יי:
This morning (5/3/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk, and learned through not one, not two, but SIX meforshim! We didn't manage to define how each one was learning the pasuk, but gleaned a little bit from all of them to sharpen our own ideas and to gain insights from their approaches. We also coined a new set of methodology terms: the "buffet approach" and the "salad bar" approach.

Mishlei 11:18 - False Deeds and True Seeds
רָשָׁע עֹשֶׂה פְעֻלַּת שָׁקֶר וְזֹרֵעַ צְדָקָה שֶׂכֶר אֱמֶת:
This evening (5/2/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned another pasuk about reshaim and tzadikim ... or at least, those who do tzedakah. The questions we came up with pointed us in some clear directions, and we were able to come up with several approaches of our own - one of which was echoed by Rabbeinu Yonah. We also learned Saadia Gaon's commentary, which ended up being very "meta."

This morning (4/29/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur (which was slightly shorter than usual, due to Rosh Chodesh davening), we began learning a pasuk whose translation, questions, and problems were quite clear. We developed several fruitful approaches, one of which was Saadia Gaon's. Tomorrow we'll see what the other meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 22:1 - A Good Name is Preferable to Wealth (Part 2)
נִבְחָר שֵׁם מֵעֹשֶׁר רָב מִכֶּסֶף וּמִזָּהָב חֵן טוֹב:
This morning (4/29/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we revisited the pasuk we learned yesterday. In contrast to yesterday, not only did we come up with several ideas on our own, but we also learned some ideas from the meforshim!
Note: towards the end of this shiur, I was in the middle of explaining an idea, when some aniyim came in. I nodded to one of the dorm guys to take care of the tzedakah distribution, and he indicated that he didn't want to interrupt the flow of the idea. I said some words (which you'll hear) and got up to give tzedakah myself. The dorm guy in question immediately regretted his decision, and went to give them tzedakah as well. I paused the recording, and when we resumed, I went over an idea from Mishlei about how interrupting our activities to give tzedakah is a virtue. Afterwards, I asked if we can keep this part of the recording intact, and the dorm guy agreed (because he recognized the value of the "Mishlei moment"), on the condition that I include an explanation of what happened, and made sure to point out that he usually DOES immediately respond to the needs of the aniyim, but was just so caught up in our learning that he wasn't thinking.

This morning (4/28/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new pasuk comparing wealth with a good name and good favor. The good news is that the pasuk is fairly straightforward. The bad news ... is that the pasuk is fairly straightforward. Metzudas David barely commented. The Meiri gave a very general interpretation. Rabbeinu Yonah provided us with what to work with, but we weren't able to figure out what he was saying. We're going to tackle this again tomorrow and hope to find at least ONE significant chidush.

Mishlei 21:30-31 - You Can't Outsmart Hashem (Part 2)

סוּס מוּכָן לְיוֹם מִלְחָמָה וְלַיְיָ הַתְּשׁוּעָה:
This morning (4/7/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing yesterday's pasuk and learning Saadia Gaon's commentary which generously furnished us with five interpretations! We then learned the final pasuk in the perek, which most meforshim learn in concert with the previous pasuk. We came up with our own approach, complemented by several meforshim. Our Morning Mishlei shiur will be on hiatus until sometime during the week after Pesach.

אֵין חׇכְמָה וְאֵין תְּבוּנָה וְאֵין עֵצָה לְנֶגֶד יְיָ:
This morning (4/6/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a pasuk which we knew would be either very straightforward or very technical. It ended up being the former. We learned several different but related approaches on this pasuk as a standalone. The plan for tomorrow (בג"ה) is to learn the next pasuk as a standalone, and then learn the meforshim who take the two pesukim together.

Mishlei 21:29 - The Visible Brazenness of the Rasha (Part 2)
הֵעֵז אִישׁ רָשָׁע בְּפָנָיו וְיָשָׁר הוּא [יָבִין] (יכין) [דַּרְכּוֹ] (דרכיו):
This morning (4/5/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. After reviewing our explanation of Saadia Gaon yesterday, we learned two more approaches: that of the Metzudos, who learns this to be a pasuk about anger, and that of the Rid and Rabbeinu Yonah who learn this to be about how reshaim lie. We concluded with Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary on how the last few pesukim are sequenced, which we didn't fully grasp, but derived a methodology principle therefrom nonetheless.

Mishlei 11:17 - Mishlei on Kindness and Cruelty
גֹּמֵל נַפְשׁוֹ אִישׁ חָסֶד וְעֹכֵר שְׁאֵרוֹ אַכְזָרִי:
Last night (4/4/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned one of the few pesukim in Sefer Mishlei about chesed. This one was a real doozy to translate! Thankfully, we came up with six or seven of our own approaches to the pasuk and as many in the meforshim. There is still a lot more to be said here, especially if we take our pasuk to be teaching Mishlei's fundamental stance on chesed.

Mishlei 21:28 - The Fate of the Lying Witness (Part 2)
עֵד כְּזָבִים יֹאבֵד וְאִישׁ שׁוֹמֵעַ לָנֶצַח יְדַבֵּר:
This morning (3/31/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. After refining our understanding of Metzudas David, we learned Rabbeinu Yonah's approach, followed by the Meiri's derech nigleh and derech nistar approaches. This ended up being quite a fruitful pasuk!

This morning (3/30/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began working on a new pasuk. The first half is clearly about a witness who tells lies. The second half is decidedly less clear. We developed three approaches, then began working on the Metzudas David's approach. Tomorrow we'll refine that and learn the ideas from other meforshim (בג"ה).

This morning (3/29/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued working on yesterday's pasuk. Instead of developing the approaches we started yesterday, we devoted the full force of our minds to the commentary of the Metzudas David ... and we were rewarded for doing so! He answered all of our questions with his beautiful interpretation and ideas. We briefly explored two other approaches at the end, but didn't have time to develop them. Let me know if you come up with anything!

Mishlei 11:16 - In Pursuit of Kavod: Machiavellian vs. Mishleic
אֵשֶׁת חֵן תִּתְמֹךְ כָּבוֹד וְעָרִיצִים יִתְמְכוּ עֹשֶׁר:
This evening (3/28/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned one of the most difficult pesukim in recent memory. The questions were powerful and it was difficult to pin down the subject matter of the pasuk. We worked really hard to develop a couple of approaches, but we were unsuccessful in "solving" the pasuk. We ended by learning Rabbeinu Yonah, who gave us a solid approach - albeit one which conveniently downplayed one of our major questions - and although we gained insight from his commentary (which is the basis of this title), we had to end shiur before we could fully develop his idea. If you manage to make it that far in the shiur and have any ideas, please let me know!

This morning (3/28/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began a seemingly non-Mishleic pasuk about the korbanos of the wicked. We quickly found ourselves faced with a decision-tree of readings which led to different approaches to the pasuk. We didn't arrive at any conclusive interpretations today. Tomorrow we'll attempt to refine today's steps and to learn the meforshim (בג"ה).

This morning (3/24/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we concluded our analysis of this week's pesukim. After reviewing the insight from yesterday, we sharpened our own approach and Rabbeinu Yonah's approach. We then spent the last portion of shiur going over practical strategies for overcoming laziness based on James Clear's "Atomic Habits" and BJ Fogg's "Tiny Habits."

This morning (3/23/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued to develop the approach we took yesterday, inspired by Rabbeinu Yonah. We spent the first half of shiur developing a "horseshoe theory" about the developmental trajectories of the leitz and the atzel, and we spent the second half of shiur working on the second half of the last pasuk. Our goal tomorrow will be to complete our analysis AND identify some practical techniques for overcoming laziness (בג"ה).

Rabbeinu Yonah gave us another step in the idea, but there's far more to explore here, and that is what we intend to do tomorrow (בג"ה).

Last night (3/21/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which, at first glance, seemed to give anti-Mishleic (and anti-social) advice. Additionally, it was a challenge to figure out what this pasuk was even talking about. Thankfully, we developed several approaches which led to some very practical ideas with far-reaching implications, and we learned an additional insight from Rabbeinu Yonah.

Mishlei 11:14 - A Strategy for Generating Strategies
בְּאֵין תַּחְבֻּלוֹת יִפׇּל עָם וּתְשׁוּעָה בְּרֹב יוֹעֵץ:
This evening (3/14/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk about the importance of strategies and abundant counsel. The challenge was understand the context and the lack of qualifications (e.g. Why "strategies" rather than "good strategies"? Why "abundant" counsel rather than "wise counsel"?) By putting our heads together in an effort to generate "abundant counsel," we came up with one nice approach together, and then explored some of the ideas in the meforshim.

This morning (3/10/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we wrapped up this round of "Mishlei Bekius on Leitzim" by examining the one quality we hadn't yet thought about: sichah bateilah ("idle chatter"). Thankfully, Rabbeinu Yonah explains this in his commentary on Mishlei 14:6, which is one of the pesukim that gave us the most trouble in our bekius overview.
Here's a link to the edition of Rabbeinu Yonah I recommend.

This morning (3/9/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we concluded our survey of all the pesukim in Mishlei which mention leitz, along with our surface-level analysis and observations. We concluded by reading the first Rabbeinu Yonah on leitzim. Tomorrow the plan is to conclude this round of the sugya by learning Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary on select leitz-themed pesukim.

This morning (3/8/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began with a methodology tip on how to learn the five megillos. Next, we reviewed all the pesukim we covered yesterday, reaping tremendous rewards in the process. After that, we learned five more pesukim, following our bekius approach and objective from yesterday. We hope to conclude our bekius overview tomorrow (בג"ה).

Tonight (3/7/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we continued the topic from last week by learning a pasuk whose first half is the inverse of Mishlei 11:13. We began by approaching this pasuk afresh without going out of our way to tie it into the previous one, and we succeeded in coming up with several nice ideas. Afterwards, we learned the commentaries of Rabbeinu Yonah, Metzudas David, and Saadia Gaon.----------

This morning (3/7/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we deviated from our usual daily routine. Since we started developing a new approach to the Mishleic personality of the leitz (scorner) last week, we decided to take a couple of days to do a bekius (overview / covering-ground) survey of ALL the pesukim in Mishlei which mention this personality. Instead of analyzing these pesukim in-depth, we translated each pasuk and then made some initial observations about the characteristics emphasized in the pesukim. We got through half of the pesukim today and we plan on doing the other half tomorrow (בג"ה), at which point, we'll learn more of Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary on these pesukim.

Mishlei 21:24 - The Leitz Reexamined (Part 2)
זֵד יָהִיר לֵץ שְׁמוֹ עוֹשֶׂה בְּעֶבְרַת זָדוֹן:
This morning (3/3/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur (which was only 30 minutes on account of Rosh Chodesh), we began by reviewing and refining what we said yesterday. Although this was worthwhile, it only left us with a few minutes to work on the chidush according to Rabbeinu Yonah. We developed an approach and formulated further questions raised by that approach, but we'll have to wait until next week (בג"ה) to revisit them.

Mishlei 21:24 - The Leitz Reexamined (Part 1)
זֵד יָהִיר לֵץ שְׁמוֹ עוֹשֶׂה בְּעֶבְרַת זָדוֹן:
This morning (3/2/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the pasuk which explicitly defines the Mishleic personality of the leitz (scoffer). I've learned and taught this pasuk dozens of times, and I was hoping for a new insight. Thankfully, that's exactly what we got, thanks to the thinking of two of our talmidim: one who interpreted yesterday's pasuk, and another who interpreted today's pasuk in light of that idea. This is already a contender for my favorite Mishlei shiur of the 2021-2022 year.
For maximum impact, listen to yesterday's shiur: Mishlei 21:23 - Guarding Your Mouth, Tongue, and Soul (Part 2).

This morning (3/1/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk and found two Rishonim who helped us develop our approach: Rabbeinu Yonah and, surprisingly, the Rambam. We delved a bit into the Rambam's other statements about how we ought and ought not to speak, and then tied our understanding of the pasuk together at the end.

Tonight (2/28/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a very practical pasuk about gossiping, revealing secrets, and trustworthy friends. The pasuk seemed obvious on the surface, but our analysis revealed nuances and new insights that we didn't have before. Next week we plan on doing a very similar pasuk and comparing it to this one.

We worked on several versions of that approach, then entertained a second approach at the very end. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).

Mishlei 21:22 - How to Bring Down a City of Strength (Part 2)
עִיר גִּבֹּרִים עָלָה חָכָם וַיֹּרֶד עֹז מִבְטֶחָה:
This morning (2/24/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning the pasuk we began yesterday. After reviewing yesterday's ideas, we looked through ALL the meforshim - the majority of whom did little more than refer us to Koheles. We learned an approach based on the pshat of those pesukim (as explained by the Metzudas David) and we read through the allegorical interpretation (as brought down by Rashi, and as favored by the Meiri). Unfortunately, we didn't have time to develop our understanding based on these pesukim in Koheles. We may revisit these next week.

Mishlei 21:21 - The Perks of Chasing Tzedakah and Chesed (Part 2)
רֹדֵף צְדָקָה וָחָסֶד, יִמְצָא חַיִּים צְדָקָה וְכָבוֹד:
This morning (2/22/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning the pasuk we began yesterday - this time, with our usual Morning Mishlei Crew! After reviewing (or rediscovering) the interpretation we gave yesterday, we developed one-and-a-half new approaches. We attempted to learn Rabbeinu Yonah and Meiri, but didn't have enough time to grasp what they were saying.

Mishlei 11:12 - To Deride or to Derive?
בׇּז לְרֵעֵהוּ חֲסַר לֵב וְאִישׁ תְּבוּנוֹת יַחֲרִישׁ:
Tonight (2/21/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a very interesting pasuk with major, wide-reaching practical implications. Even though there were only two participants in the shiur, we managed to come up with a really nice idea on our own, along with some spicy (and controversial?) ideas in the meforshim.

We developed our own approach and then read the commentaries of Metzudas David and Saadia Gaon, which we will learn tomorrow, along with others (בג"ה).

This morning (2/17/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing the three approaches we came up with yesterday, supplementing them with additional examples. We then learned Rabbeinu Yonah, who took the third of our approaches. From there we moved on to the Meiri, who referred us to an explanation in his hakdamah on a pasuk we learned in January. Lastly, we read the Malbim who approached the pasuk allegorically.

This morning (2/16/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new pasuk. This is a good example of a pasuk which seems to be stating a rather "cliché" Mishleic idea. The challenge with such pesukim is to find a chidush. Today we developed three approaches which hovered on that borderline between cliché and chidush. Tomorrow we'll learn the meforshim and see what else we can find.

Mishlei 21:9 + 25:4 - Solitude vs. a Contentious and Provocative Wife (Part 3)
טוֹב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל פִּנַּת גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָבֶר:
This morning (2/15/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued with the sugya we've been learning since Thursday. After reviewing the approaches we've gained so far, we flipped to Mishlei 25:24, which is a verbatim repetition of 21:9, with the goal of understanding what that repetition adds. We began by going over some basic ideas on the pesukim in the surrounding context (25:21-23 and 25:25-26) and then attempted to learn our pasuk in that light. We came up with a few approaches, TRIED to understand what the Malbim was getting at, and poked around at the slim pickings that the other meforshim gave us. Did we arrive at a satisfactory answer? No. But the REAL gain was the non-contentious friendship we made along the way.

Mishlei 11:11 - How to Raise Up or Tear Down Your City
בְּבִרְכַּת יְשָׁרִים תָּרוּם קָרֶת וּבְפִי רְשָׁעִים תֵּהָרֵס:
Last night (2/14/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a sequel to last week's pasuk. Whereas last week everyone in the shiur contributed to a UNIFIED approach, this week everyone came up with DIFFERENT approaches. There were so many different approaches that we didn't even get to the meforshim until well over an hour into the shiur. We learned through three commentaries at the end, and came up with ideas for at least two of them. As usual, there were questions we didn't have answer in shiur, but that's part of the fun of Mishlei: there's always more to think about!

Mishlei 21:19 - Solitude vs. a Contentious and Provocative Wife (Part 2)

[Note: the internet connection was bad today; pardon the interruptions in the recording.]
This morning (2/14/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued learning the pasuk we started on Thursday, in conjunction with the similar 21:9 which we learned earlier this year. Rabbeinu Yonah and the Malbim read both pesukim in counterintuitive ways, which resulted in some interesting ideas. Because we have more meforshim to learn, and because we discovered that 21:9 is repeated in 25:24, AND because a bunch of our regulars will be gone from Wednesday until next week, we decided to continue learning this pasuk tomorrow.

Mishlei 21:18 - The Wicked as Atonement/Ransom for the Righteous (Part 3)
כֹּפֶר לַצַּדִּיק רָשָׁע וְתַחַת יְשָׁרִים בּוֹגֵד:
This morning (2/9/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we spent one more day on our pasuk. First we revisited Saadia Gaon's explanation. Yesterday we were troubled by it, but today we came up with two approaches for understanding it. Next, we tackled the approach we encountered in Metzudas David, which we saw was taken by the vast majority of meforshim. We had difficulty with this, but managed to come up with at least one approach. Lastly, we read the Malbim's explanation and tried to come up with an approach based on that. We didn't fully succeed, but we made a good effort.

This morning (2/8/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. After our review of yesterday, I summarized the definitions of the key terms, as we've developed them in our Monday NIGHT Mishlei shiur. We were hoping that this would lead to a new interpretation here. It didn't. We also tried to come up with an idea for Saadia Gaon, then consulted his actual commentary. When that didn't pan out, we learned Metzudas David's approach, which raised a host of problems. Ultimately, we gained a lot in terms of methodology, but we didn't arrive at any new explanations. Consequently, we'll be spending a third day on this pasuk tomorrow. We'll begin with the Metzudas David and then explore other meforshim.

Mishlei 11:10 - Joy to the City
בְּטוּב צַדִּיקִים תַּעֲלֹץ קִרְיָה וּבַאֲבֹד רְשָׁעִים רִנָּה:
Yesterday (2/7/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned yet another pasuk about tzadikim and reshaim. The good news is that our analysis was exceedingly fruitful - in terms of the questions, the ideas, and the methodology. We emerged with two solid approaches. The bad news is that we ran out of time at the end, and were only able to learn one of the meforshim (who happened to support our second approach to the pasuk).

Mishlei 21:18 - The Wicked as Atonement/Ransom for the Righteous (Part 1)
כֹּפֶר לַצַּדִּיק רָשָׁע וְתַחַת יְשָׁרִים בּוֹגֵד:
This morning (2/7/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning what LOOKED to be an intimidating pasuk - intimidating because literally every term needed to be defined and explained, and intimidating because two of the terms have been the subject of the most difficult pesukim we've learned in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur. (We even phoned a friend from that shiur to help us out!) We ended up developing a really nice approach, with several variants. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll learn the meforshim.

Mishlei 21:17 - The True Cost of Partying, Wine, and Oil (Part 2)
אִישׁ מַחְסוֹר אֹהֵב שִׂמְחָה אֹהֵב יַיִן וָשֶׁמֶן לֹא יַעֲשִׁיר:
Today's (2/3/22) Morning Mishlei shiur was jam-packed! In addition to reviewing the three ideas we developed yesterday, we also learned an additional SIX explanations of our pasuk! This pasuk certainly brought us simchah - in Olam ha'Zeh AND Olam ha'Ba - with its ideas that were as delectable as wine and as fragrant as aromatic oil.

And we're back! This morning (2/3/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we resumed our learning of Chapter 21. Today's pasuk was easy to read, but it was surprisingly difficult to figure out the subject that the pasuk was about. We developed 3.5 radically different approaches. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll see what the meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 26:9 - A Thorn in the Hand of a Drunkard (Part 2)
חוֹחַ עָלָה בְיַד שִׁכּוֹר וּמָשָׁל בְּפִי כְסִילִים:
This morning (1/13/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned the Meiri's commentary on this entire set of pesukim (26:6-9). He offered a number of different interpretations, some of which corresponded to what we had said in the past, and others of which were new. We ended off by starting to learn the Malbim's commentary on 26:9-10, but didn't have much time to get into 10.
Note: Our morning Mishlei shiur will be on hiatus until sometime in the first week of February.

This morning (1/12/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began our analysis of the third and final pasuk in our series on the topic of "how fools use Mishlei." We came up with three approaches of our own, the third of which roughly corresponded to that of Saadia Gaon and Ibn Kaspi. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll learn more meforshim on this pasuk - and the Meiri on all three.

This morning (1/11/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. After recapping a related idea from last NIGHT's Mishlei pasuk (11:9), we recapped our approaches from yesterday and then learned two explanations: one from Metzudas David on our pasuk and the other from Rabbeinu Yonah on Avos 4:1. Both meforshim took our mashal in ways we hadn't even considered yesterday. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll begin the last pasuk in our "sidequest" sugya before taking a two week break.

Mishlei 11:9 - How Tzadikim Evade Flattery
בְּפֶה חָנֵף יַשְׁחִת רֵעֵהוּ וּבְדַעַת צַדִּיקִים יֵחָלֵצוּ:
This evening (1/10/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned yet another pasuk about tzadikim. This time, they were contrasted with someone other than the rasha. After experimenting with several different approaches and translations, we took up Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary, which led to some eye-opening insights about the dangers of flattery and how tzadikim use their unique knowledge to protect themselves.

Mishlei 26:8 - The Dangers of Honoring a Ksil (Part 1)
כִּצְרוֹר אֶבֶן בְּמַרְגֵּמָה כֵּן נוֹתֵן לִכְסִיל כָּבוֹד:
This morning (1/10/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new pasuk as a continuation of the sugya we started last week. This pasuk appears to be a simple analogy about giving honor to a ksil. The more we analyzed it, the more uncertain we were about the nuances of the analogy and the parameters of the idea. We ended up developing a few approaches, including an idea from Saadia Gaon who translates the pasuk in a completely different way. Tomorrow (בג"ה) the plan is to learn through a bunch of other meforshim.

This morning (1/7/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of the pasuk we started on Monday. Today was quite the fruitful day! We came away with a good 6-10 ideas, depending on how you count. I'm looking forward to continuing next week (בג"ה) with the next two pesukim on the same theme.

This morning (1/3/22), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we took a detour to start a Mishlei sugya in 26:7-9. My interest in these pesukim was prompted by a quotation from Amos Tversky (Israeli cognitive and mathematical psychologist, and recipient of the MacArthur "genius grant"). Two (and possibly three) of these pesukim are about how a Mishleic fool relates to mashalim. I'd like to do these pesukim this week, and possibly into next week. Today we had a shorter session in which we developed two approaches to 26:7. Tomorrow we'll learn the meforshim (בג"ה).

Mishlei 21:16 - Resting in the Congregation of the Dead
אָדָם תּוֹעֶה מִדֶּרֶךְ הַשְׂכֵּל בִּקְהַל רְפָאִים יָנוּחַ:
This morning (12/30/21), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began a new, dramatic pasuk. We came up with a really nice interpretation which was beautifully expanded upon by the Rav in Halakhic Man. We came up with what we THINK is a good understanding of the Ralbag, and read the Meiri as well. We may or may not continue this pasuk tomorrow, depending on who plans on coming to shiur.

Mishlei 21:15 - Joy in Justice and its Opposite (Part 2)

This morning (12/29/21) we continued with the pasuk we learned yesterday. After developing an additional original approach, we learned another nice idea from the Meiri, then we went back to the Rabbeinu Yonah from yesterday, and we ended with Rashi's "classically Rashi" type of explanation which we didn't have time to flesh out.

This morning (12/28/21) we began a new syntactically ambiguous pasuk that has something to do with the joy experienced by the tzadik when justice is done. Beyond that, our pasuk can be read in a number of ways. Today we developed two (or two-and-a-half) explanations on our own and read two meforshim whose commentaries reflected those explanations - at least, in part. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we will learn other approaches in the other meforshim.

Mishlei 11:8 - How the Rasha Gets Into the Trouble from Which the Tzadik Escaped
צַדִּיק מִצָּרָה נֶחֱלָץ וַיָּבֹא רָשָׁע תַּחְתָּיו:
This evening (12/27/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we enjoyed had a "riddle style" pasuk that was quite straightforward to read. We managed to get several nice ideas from it which contributed to our continually evolving understanding of the Mishlei tzadik and the Mishleic rasha.

No, this isn't a mistaken upload!
This morning (12/23/21), during our usual Mishlei time, we had a session of Rambam Bekius! Since the last two pesukim we learned were about how to relate and how not to relate to the poor, and since Mishlei was written to make Torah more accessible, we thought it would be appropriate to familiarize ourselves with some basic halachos of tzedakah. This was not intended to be a comprehensive practical halacha shiur; rather, it was intended to supply the Torah context for our pesukim in Mishlei. I'm uploading this on the Rambam Bekius podcast and the Mishlei podcast since it relates to both.

Bekius Disclaimer:Note that this is a bekius chavurah - as opposed to an iyun shiur. Each session consists of us reading through the Rambam's writings together without much preparation on my part, and without going into depth by consulting commentaries or primary sources. For all these reasons, there are bound to be inaccuracies, errors, and other types of shortcomings which would not be acceptable in a prepared shiur, butare quite typical of a bekius chavurah.

Mishlei 21:14 - Secret Gifts, Bribes, and Anger (Part 3)
מַתָּן בַּסֵּתֶר יִכְפֶּה אָף וְשֹׁחַד בַּחֵק חֵמָה עַזָּה:
This morning (12/22/21) we continued plumbing the depths of our pasuk. We began with some pshat interpretations from the Malbim and Radak, then analyzed the first of the Meiri's derech nistar explanations, and concluded by reading his second derech nistar explanation and a few midrashim which we didn't have time to analyze. This ended up being quite a rich pasuk (no pun intended)!

After refining the approach we took yesterday, we learned the commentaries of the Meiri and Rabbeinu Yonah, who connect this pasuk to the previous one, which is about giving tzedakah. We plan on spending at least one more day on this pasuk, and then learning through some of the practical halachos of tzedakah which pertain to both pesukim.

Mishlei 11:7 - The Hopeless Death of the Rasha
בְּמוֹת אָדָם רָשָׁע תֹּאבַד תִּקְוָה וְתוֹחֶלֶת אוֹנִים אָבָדָה:
This evening (12/20/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we enjoyed a respite from the "teeth-breaking" pesukim about the tam and the yashar with a nice pasuk about the death of a rasha! The reading, translation, and questions were fairly straight-forward, and we had success in working out two approaches and bringing them to fruition with the help of the meforshim. Both ideas are practical in very different ways.

מַתָּן בַּסֵּתֶר יִכְפֶּה אָף וְשֹׁחַד בַּחֵק חֵמָה עַזָּה:
This morning (12/20/21) we began a new pasuk. Like most pesukim which LOOK simple, this one turned out to be difficult, even to read and translate. The problem we encountered was the pasuk's generality, which leant it to many possible readings. We weren't even sure if the pasuk was endorsing this behavior, warning against it, or remaining neutral! We read the Metzudas David's commentary in the last minute of shiur, but I have a feeling we'll see a variety of approaches when we learn through the other meforshim tomorrow (בג"ה).

This morning (12/16/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. Thanks to the Malbim's definition of "dal" - we were able to develop and expand upon the approaches we came up with yesterday. We also saw new ideas in the commentaries of Rabbeinu Yonah and the Meiri.

Mishlei 21:13 - The Consequences of Shutting Your Ear to the Poor (Part 1)
אֹטֵם אׇזְנוֹ מִזַּעֲקַת דָּל גַּם הוּא יִקְרָא וְלֹא יֵעָנֶה:
This morning (12/15/21) we began a new and "spicy" pasuk which states a very clear midah kneged midah consequence. We developed two approaches and nodded our heads to a third, which we didn't have time to explore. Tomorrow we'll consult the meforshim (בג"ה).

Mishlei 21:12 - How the Tzadik Helps the Rasha Succeed (Part 2)
מַשְׂכִּיל צַדִּיק לְבֵית רָשָׁע מְסַלֵּף רְשָׁעִים לָרָע:
This morning (12/14/21) we began with a brief discussion about giving tzedakah on Asarah b'Teves (unrelated to our pasuk in Mishlei), we reviewed what we said yesterday and developed a variant on my own approach to the pasuk, and then learned four excellent interpretations of our pasuk: that of the Metzudas David, Rabbeinu Yonah, Shadal, and Meiri's derech nistar.

Mishlei 11:6 - How Loyalty to Reality Pays Off
צִדְקַת יְשָׁרִים תַּצִּילֵם וּבְהַוַּת בֹּגְדִים יִלָּכֵדוּ:
This evening (12/13/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned yet ANOTHER extremely difficult pasuk on the subject of the yashar (upright) and the bogeid (Mishleic traitor) - one which looked almost identical to the previous pasuk, and was even identified as such by the Radak! After some initial theorizing with approaches that had potential, we learned the Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary, who offered a beautiful insight into one of the core benefits of learning Mishlei.
If you're not in the mood to break your teeth, it might be a good idea to start the shiur, and once we raise all the questions, skip to about an hour in, when we start the Rabbeinu Yonah.

This morning (12/13/21) we began learning a pasuk which presents itself as counterintuitive no matter how you read it. We played around with a couple of approaches and ended with my favorite explanation, which I first heard from my brother. Tomorrow we'll consult the meforshim (בג"ה).

Mishlei 21:11 - How the Pesi Learns from Others (Part 3)
בַּעֲנׇשׁ לֵץ יֶחְכַּם פֶּתִי וּבְהַשְׂכִּיל לְחָכָם יִקַּח דָּעַת:
This morning (12/9/21) we spent a third day on our pasuk. We began with some additional points on two of yesterday's approaches. We then learned the Meiri's derech nistar approach, which we supplemented with a nice idea from Drashos ha'Ran. We then looked through a flurry of other meforshim, who gave us additional nuances to our understanding.
Note: around 42 minutes into the shiur, one of the guys reads something from Urban Dictionary which uses the word "arse," which he read aloud several times not knowing that it is British profanity. I edited it out of the YouTube video, but (frankly) I don't have time to edit it out of the audio. Just know that he didn't mean anything by it.

Mishlei 21:11 - How the Pesi Learns from Others (Part 2)
בַּעֲנׇשׁ לֵץ יֶחְכַּם פֶּתִי וּבְהַשְׂכִּיל לְחָכָם יִקַּח דָּעַת:
This morning (12/8/21) we continued learning yesterday's pasuk about how the pesi learns. After refining yesterday's approach, we learned the derech nigleh explanation given by the Meiri, followed by Rabbeinu Yonah, which also led us to his commentary on the very similar 19:25. We intend to spend one more day on this pasuk.
Note: The shiur begins with me presenting a Chanukah gift to the dorm guys. The gift was the book "Humans," by Brandon Stanton (a.k.a. the Humans of New York guy). I decided to include it in the shiur because it's related to Mishlei. I encourage everyone who learns Mishlei to buy themselves a copy.
Link to the gift: https://www.amazon.com/Humans-Brandon-Stanton/dp/1250114292/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=humans+stanton&qid=1638974990&sr=8-1

This morning (12/7/21) we began a new pasuk, which is certainly about the pesi (naive simpleton), but might also be about the chacham (wise person), and maybe even the leitz (scoffer). Today we developed an approach on the assumption that the pasuk is about the pesi and how he learns from the punishment of the leitz and the behavior of the chacham. Tomorrow we plan on exploring other approaches.

נֶפֶשׁ רָשָׁע אִוְּתָה רָע, לֹא יֻחַן בְּעֵינָיו רֵעֵהוּ:
This morning (12/2/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk and took two different approaches: one inspired by Kantian ethics, as explained by Ralbag, Saadia Gaon, and Malbim, and another about the relationship between middos and action, as explained by Meiri, Rambam, and Rabbeinu Yonah.

Mishlei 21:9 - Precarious Solitude vs. Good Friends and a Toxic Wife (Part 2)
טוֹב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל פִּנַּת גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָבֶר:
This morning (11/30/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk, beginning with a shockingly different translation in which "beis chaver" is translated not as "a house of a friend" but "a house of witchcraft." If you're interested in an explanation of our pasuk which connects ancient witchcraft with modern social media, or in the Meiri's allegorical interpretation of "dwelling on the corner of a roof" as "relying on tradition without rational proof," then you'll be in for a treat with this shiur!

Mishlei 11:5 - The Progress and Pitfalls of the Tamim
צִדְקַת תָּמִים תְּיַשֵּׁר דַּרְכּוֹ, וּבְרִשְׁעָתוֹ יִפֹּל רָשָׁע:
"Breaking your teeth on Gemara" is a well-known idiom. This evening (11/29/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we "broke our teeth on Mishlei." The the pasuk we learned wasn't inherently difficult. Some meforshim explicitly said that there are no new ideas here. We came up with three nice explanations. The "teeth-breaking" took place in the discussion and anaylsis, which required fluency in a number of nuanced Mishleic concepts, and the difficulty level kicked into high gear once we attempted to learn Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary. If you're going to listen to this shiur, know that it's not for the faint of heart.

Mishlei 21:9 - Precarious Solitude vs. Good Friends and a Toxic Wife (Part 1)
טוֹב לָשֶׁבֶת עַל פִּנַּת גָּג מֵאֵשֶׁת מִדְיָנִים וּבֵית חָבֶר:
This morning (11/29/21) we began learning a pasuk about the deleterious effects of a "contentious wife." According to the approach we took today, based on the Malbim's commentary, it was clear that this is referring to the type of personality that we would characterize today as "toxic." We intend to explore other interpretations tomorrow.
For the shiur I gave on a similar pasuk, feel free to check out Mishlei 19:13 - Nagging Sons and Foolish Wives Part 1 and Part 2.

Mishlei 21:8 - Estranged by Your Own Inconsistency (Part 2)
הֲפַכְפַּךְ דֶּרֶךְ אִישׁ וָזָר, וְזַךְ יָשָׁר פׇּעֳלוֹ:
This morning (11/23/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. We ended up with a handful of fruitful approaches - all of which yielded insight into decision-making, and none of which were completely refined. But such is the way of Mishlei: sometimes we gain more from the discussion itself than the final results.

Mishlei 11:4 - Tzedakah Saves from Death Yet Again
לֹא יוֹעִיל הוֹן בְּיוֹם עֶבְרָה וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּוֶת:
This evening (11/22/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk in chapter 11 which was nearly identical with a pasuk we learned over a year ago in chapter 10. The challenge was to see it in a new light and not just end up with a Mishleic cliche. Thanks to the Malbim, we succeeded!

הֲפַכְפַּךְ דֶּרֶךְ אִישׁ וָזָר, וְזַךְ יָשָׁר פׇּעֳלוֹ:
This morning (11/22/21) we began learning a pasuk with a highly dubious hapax legomenon and highly confusing wording. This led us down a little rabbit hole about what to do with such cases. For some reason, today's shiur ended up being way more chock-full of methodology - including a story about a group of ethnobotanists and a crab that I heard from Tim Ferriss and have been waiting for a legitimate excuse to deploy. We got some approaches brewing, and plan to return to the pasuk tomorrow, beginning with Saadia Gaon's commentary.

This morning (11/18/21) we had a special Mishlei Methodology shiur in which I ranked all the Mishlei commentaries I know of - not in terms of how OBJECTIVELY good they are, but in terms of how valuable I have PERSONALLY found them to be in my OWN twenty years of intensive Mishlei learning and teaching. After explaining the tiers in my ranking system, I go through each of the commentaries, comment on their styles and methods, discuss their pros and cons, and explain why I ranked them as I did. My hope is that this shiur will help those who want to learn Mishlei on their own but don't know which commentaries to use.
Click here for a picture of the final tier-ranking.

This morning (11/17/21) we continued working on yesterday's pasuk. Since we had three times as many guys in shiur, we decided to analyze the pasuk from scratch. After exploring several approaches from the guys, we learned Saadia Gaon's commentary.

This morning (11/16/21) we began learning a strange pasuk. This is one of those pesukim with "mix-and-match" translations, but no matter which way you slice it, the hava amina is weird. We came up with two approaches and some partial ideas, but we plan on revisiting it tomorrow with some more meforshim. We also suspect that some might tie it back to yesterday's pasuk.

Mishlei 11:3 - Rabbeinu Yonah on Tam, Yashar, and Bogeid
תֻּמַּת יְשָׁרִים תַּנְחֵם וְסֶלֶף בֹּגְדִים יְשָׁדֵּם:
This evening (11/15/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary on last week's pasuk. Rabbeinu Yonah begins with an exposition on the personalities of the tam and the yashar and then proceeds to explain our pasuk on that basis. I'll be honest: I was NOT optimistic about how tonight's shiur would turn out. Thankfully, the Monday Night Mishlei Crew pulled through. Not only were we able to understand (most of) Rabbeinu Yonah's ideas, but we were also able to grasp his nuanced approach to our pasuk. Even though this was a very different kind of shiur than our usual Monday Night Mishlei, it proved to be a triumphant evening in the world of ideas.

Mishlei 21:6 - Bank Accounts that Beat You to Death Before Vanishing
פֹּעַל אֹצָרוֹת בִּלְשׁוֹן שָׁקֶר הֶבֶל נִדָּף מְבַקְשֵׁי מָוֶת:
This morning (11/15/21) we learned a pasuk which initially appeared to be too confusing to make ANY moves, but ended up feeling so "Mishleically cliche" that we had a hard time seeing a chidush. We ended up getting some nice insights, but not that earth-shattering chidush we were looking for - unless you count the Ralbag's highly "Gersonidean" explanation which we briefly touched upon at the end. We're planning to move on to the next pasuk tomorrow unless anyone has any "eureka" insights in the interim.

Mishlei 21:5 - The Yields of Diligence and Haste (Part 2)
מַחְשְׁבוֹת חָרוּץ אַךְ לְמוֹתָר וְכׇל אָץ אַךְ לְמַחְסוֹר:
This morning (11/11/21) we set out to learn the meforshim (plural) on yesterday's pasuk, but Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary was so rich that we spent the entire time delving into that! This was a very "meta-Mishlei" shiur in that we not only focused on decision-making, but we also discussed how to make decisions ABOUT decision-making. Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary tends to be great, but his interpretation of this pasuk was ::: chef's kiss ::: fantastic!

Mishlei 21:5 - The Yields of Diligence and Haste (Part 1)
מַחְשְׁבוֹת חָרוּץ אַךְ לְמוֹתָר וְכׇל אָץ אַךְ לְמַחְסוֹר:
This morning (11/10/21) we began a pasuk with a clear topic: diligence versus haste. The implications of the pasuk were less clear: is diligence being depicted in a good light here, as we would expect from Mishlei, or is this pointing out a diligence-related flaw? We came up with a handful of approaches. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim say.----------

Mishlei 21:4 - Furrows of the Wicked (Part 2)
רוּם עֵינַיִם וּרְחַב לֵב נִר רְשָׁעִים חַטָּאת:
This morning (11/9/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk, beginning with a review of yesterday's idea. We then attempted to support that approach with two meforshim (Radak and Rabbeinu Yonah), only to realize that they were saying something different. We then found a support (Ri Nachmias) for another reading of the pasuk we tried yesterday which ended up leading to a nice idea. We ended with two other readings of the pasuk: one which took it in a completely different direction, (Ralbag) and another which was a hybrid of previous ideas (Malbim).

Mishlei 11:3 - The Integrity of the Upright
תֻּמַּת יְשָׁרִים תַּנְחֵם וְסֶלֶף בֹּגְדִים יְשָׁדֵּם:
This evening (11/8/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we tackled a VERY difficult pasuk in which literally every word needed to be defined conceptually. Not only that, but this pasuk introduced us to not one, not two, but THREE new Mishleic personality types: the tam, the yashar, and the bogeid. The beginning of our analysis was all over the place, but with a combination of teamwork and clear thinking, we were able to emerge with an awesome idea.
The shiur officially ends 90 minutes in. In the afterparty we attempt to learn the Malbim's approach but abort our efforts. We then briefly discuss Mishlei methodology before calling it a night.

This morning (11/8/21) we started a pasuk which was doubly difficult to read, due to its idiomatic terminology and its ambiguous syntax. We struggled to work out viable approaches for most of the shiur and finally hit upon a good one in the last couple of minutes. Tomorrow we'll consult the meforshim.

עֲשֹׂה צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט נִבְחָר לַי״י מִזָּבַח:
This morning (11/4/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk by learning through six or seven meforshim. We were able to extract full ideas from some of them and partial ideas from others, but either way, we emerged with a clearer understanding of the relationship between korbanos and perfection than we had yesterday.

Mishlei 11:2 - Mishleic Tznius
בָּא זָדוֹן וַיָּבֹא קָלוֹן וְאֶת צְנוּעִים חׇכְמָה:
This evening (11/1/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned Mishlei's take on tznius (modesty) and its relationship with chochmah. The pasuk was difficult in that it was quite vague - yet, we were able to come up with a good four or five solid ideas. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Mishlei's concept of tznius might evolve your view of tznius in general. But you can be the judge of that.

Mishlei 21:2 - Subjective Evaluations vs. Hashem
כׇּל דֶּרֶךְ אִישׁ יָשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו וְתֹכֵן לִבּוֹת י״י:
This morning (11/1/21) we learned one of those "Duh!" pesukim, which seem like they're stating an obvious idea. In cases like these, the challenge is to find an intellectual chidush (new insight), an emotional chidush, or both. We came up with three (or four) nice approaches which achieved these objectives, and we will most likely move on to the next pasuk next time.

Mishlei 21:1 - Do Kings Have Free Will? (Part 2)
פַּלְגֵי מַיִם לֶב מֶלֶךְ בְּיַד י״י עַל כׇּל אֲשֶׁר יַחְפֹּץ יַטֶּנּוּ:
This morning (10/28/21) we learned three meforshim on yesterday's pasuk: Saadia Gaon, Meiri, and Rabbeinu Yonah. We got some nice ideas from the first two, but ran into difficulty with Rabbeinu Yonah, thanks in no small part to the likelihood that his comments on our pasuk (here and in his commentary on Pirkei Avos 2:3) were written under duress (at least, according to the Rashbatz). We came up with an approach, but had to leave it incomplete.

This morning (10/27/21) we began a new chapter with a zinger of a pasuk.

Tomorrow we will endeavor to learn the meforshim.

Mishlei 20:30 - Wounds that Purge and Polish Evil (Part 2)
חַבֻּרוֹת פֶּצַע [תַּמְרוּק] (תמריק) בְּרָע וּמַכּוֹת חַדְרֵי בָטֶן:
This morning (10/26/21) we continued our learning of yesterday's pasuk. We began by reviewing the ideas we went over yesterday, including Rabbeinu Yonah's, for which we developed an approach. We then learned the Ralbag's creative interpretation, which led to some nice insights. We concluded with the Meiri and Ibn Kaspi, but didn't have sufficient time to fully develop their approaches.

Mishlei 11:1 - Hashem Hates Deceitful Scales
מֹאזְנֵי מִרְמָה תּוֹעֲבַת י״י וְאֶבֶן שְׁלֵמָה רְצוֹנוֹ:
This evening (10/25/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk which came preloaded with a unique set of challenges. Not only is this pasuk a repition of what the Torah already says, but Shlomo HIMSELF essentially repeats this pasuk twice more in Sefer Mishlei (20:10 and 20:23). It was a challenge for me to approach this with fresh eyes, after having given shiurim on both those pesukim AND on the Torah's use of the term toeivah last year, so I had to count on the people in the shiur to find the ideas. Thankfully, they did! We got four interpretations of the pasuk from the participants along with two from the meforshim.

Mishlei 20:30 - Wounds that Purge and Polish Evil (Part 1)
חַבֻּרוֹת פֶּצַע [תַּמְרוּק] (תמריק) בְּרָע וּמַכּוֹת חַדְרֵי בָטֶן:
This morning (10/25/21) we began learning the final pasuk in Chapter 20. The translation proved to be difficult on account of the contronym "tamrook b'ra," which can either mean "to purge evil" (i.e. to get rid of it) or "to polish evil" (i.e. to accentuate it). We came up with three of our own approaches before turning to Rabbeinu Yonah (with a nod to Metzudas David). Tomorrow we'll go back and refine our understanding of their approaches, then see what the other meforshim have to say.

Mishlei 20:29 - The Glory of Youths and Elders (Part 2)
תִּפְאֶרֶת בַּחוּרִים כֹּחָם וַהֲדַר זְקֵנִים שֵׂיבָה:
This morning (10/21/21), after reviewing what we covered yesterday, we learned several meforshim - each of which led to new and beneficial insights. Considering how relatively "bland" this pasuk appeared at first blush, we were pleasantly surprised about how rich it ended up being.

This morning (10/19/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk about the role of chesed and emes) in relation to the king and his subjects. After reviewing yesterday's approach and hearing a new one, we turned to the meforshim. We arrived at three approaches: (1) Metzudas David, Shadal, and Rabbeinu Yonah, (2) Meiri's "derech nigleh" approach to Mishlei 20:27-28, and (3) Meiri's "derech nistar" approach to Mishlei 20:28, which led us to review the Rambam's "middle path" approach, along with the parable of the farmer and the parable of Nachum Ish Gamzu.

This evening (10/18/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned the last two pesukim of Chapter 10, which most meforshim treat as one long pasuk. This time our own analysis led us directly to the Rabbeinu Yonah's extensive commentary, which left us with a beautiful idea about how the essential difference between a Mishleic tzadik and a rasha is epitomized in their speech. It was a fitting way to conclude Chapter 10, which we began 365 days ago.

This morning (10/18/21) we started learning a pasuk about the role of chesed and emes (whatever those mean) in relation to the king and his subjects. We spent today working out a straightforward approach which accounted for the asymmetry in the structure of the pasuk, and the counterintuitiveness of the passive and active parties. Tomorrow we'll consult the meforshim.

This morning (10/14/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk, beginning with a review of what we said. We then attempted to understand the pasuk according to the second - and more difficult - reading, according to which Hashem "uses" the soul of man as a lamp to search out the chambers of the belly. We encountered several approaches and gleaned some insights, but ultimately agreed that what we said yesterday was a more satisfying explanation.

This morning (10/13/21) we began a new pasuk which, at first glance, seems very non-Mishleic. It appears to be a factual statement about man's soul and it's relationship to God's knowledge. We developed a solid idea based on one reading of the pasuk. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim say about that approach, and what they say about the route we didn't take.

This morning (10/12/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk - this time, with the help of the meforshim. Shadal and Malbim both learn the pasuk to be about the samem topic: how a wise judge gets the wicked to confess (although Shadal, in our view, provides a more compelling reading of the words in the pasuk). We spent today unpacking and refining our understanding of their ideas. Tomorrow the plan is to move on to the next pasuk.

This evening (10/11/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned yet another difficult pasuk. This one was fairly easy to read, but proved difficult to get a unified chidush (novel insight) from, even with our abundance of ideas about tzadikim and reshaim from earlier in the perek. We certainly gave it our effort and arrived at some nice insights, but there definitely remains more to be done.

This morning (10/11/21) we began a new pasuk about how a wise king ought to deal with the wicked. There are a couple of ambiguitiies in the translation which suggest a number of different directions. We spent this morning trying to figure out the first half of the pasuk, but didn't make much progress on the second half. The plan for tomorrow is to turn to the meforshim for assistance.

This morning (10/8/21) was our third day on this pasuk. After reviewing yesterday's idea from the Meiri, we learned three more interpretations: two from the Meiri and one from Rabbeinu Yonah, who tied this into Monday's pasuk (10/4). It may have taken us three days, but we ultimately got some nice insights from this pasuk!

Yesterday we had one goal: be to learn at least ONE idea from this very confusing pasuk. This morning (10/7/21) we succeeded, thanks to the Meiri and the Rambam! Since the Meiri gives several other interpretations which we didn't have time for, we plan on continuing in the Meiri tomorrow.

This morning (10/6/21) we began a pasuk which proved to be EXTREMELY difficult to translate. Every translation and commentary we consulted seemed to read the pasuk differently. We spent most of our (shorter) shiur today trying to arrive at a coherent translation, and we spent the last few minutes trying to make sense of Saadia Gaon's and Metzudas David's explanations ... but to no avail. Tomorrow our goal will be to learn at least ONE idea from this pasuk!

This evening (10/4/21), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we learned a pasuk that was difficult to translate and even more difficult to understand. We developed several related approaches and did our best to hone them, thanks to Rabbeinu Yonah, and although we didn't QUITE reach the level of clarity that I prefer, we at least managed to uncover some nice ideas. We read through a few additional commentaries at the end, just to get a glimpse of alternative approaches.

This morning (9/17/21) we encountered yet ANOTHER pasuk about deceitful weights and measures! We had enough difficulty with the pasuk earlier in the perek, which seemed to be a repetition of what is already stated in the Torah. What does this NEW seemingly redundant pasuk come to add? Thankfully, Saadia Gaon's translation and commentary held the key to a new idea.

אַל תֹּאמַר אֲשַׁלְּמָה רָע קַוֵּה לַי״י וְיֹשַׁע לָךְ:
This morning (9/14/21) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. We clarified our understanding of MOST of Rabbeinu Yonah's approach, but didn't succeed in figuring out the last part. Thankfully, Radak, Ralbag, R' Moshe Alsheikh came to the rescue and provided us with their own insightful approaches. We concluded with a point about what we should and shouldn't be doing when we ask Hashem to destroy our enemies.

This evening (9/13/21), in our first Monday Night Mishlei Shiur of the 2021-2022 year, we learned a pasuk which proved difficult to read at first. Our analysis led us to an idea that was expanded upon by the Rabbeinu Yonah. If the promise in the title of the shiur sounds too good to be true, then chances are that you're operating in the framework of the rasha, which means that this pasuk is for you!

This morning (9/13/21) we began our analysis of a seemingly non-Mishleic pasuk. The questions were straightforward, and we took a few steps on our own before turning to the meforshim. The meforshim did a thorough job explaining the case in the first half of the pasuk, but shed very little light on the mechanics of the second half, which is what we'll attempt to decipher tomorrow.

This morning (9/10/21), in our inaugural morning Mishlei shiur of 2021-2022, we learned a pasuk that is very relevant to the Aseres Ymei Teshuvah. First we learned the pasuk according to the most basic pshat, namely, that it's about how to maximize the chance that you will be forgiven when you wrong a fellow human being. Then we learned the pasuk in reference to obtaining mercy from Hashem. We concluded with a theory about how this is the basis of the entire vidui of Yom ha'Kippurim.
This week's Torah content has been sponsored by an anonymous donor in gratitude to the YBT community for being so welcoming to the new guys, and to the "old" guys.

This morning (8/5/21 at YBT) we concluded our 2020-2021 season of Mishlei with Mishlei 20:21. Fortunately, the ideas were so abundant that we didn't have enough time to refine and consolidate them! Those who listen to the shiur will have to do that work on their own, if they want this "inheritance" from Shlomo ha'Melech to be blessed.
Today's Torah content was sponsored by someone who wishes to remain anonymous for someone else whom they wish to remain anonymous for an occasion that I'm told should not be mentioned. I would have found some sneaky way to show honor and gratitude to those involved and for the event being commemorated, but I must respect true tznius when I see it.----------

This morning (8/4/21 at YBT) we continued the pasuk we started on Monday ... with tremendous difficulty! We tried out a bunch of different approaches, including one based on the Rambam in the Sefer ha'Mitzvos. There were interesting avenues, but no definitive conclusions. Such is the life of learning Mishlei: sometimes, you just have to leave the pasuk for a future attempt.
Today’s Torah content is sponsored by Naomi Mann, in honor of Yeshiva Bnei Torah's 50th year. May Hashem grant YBT continued success!----------

This morning (8/2/21 at YBT) we began analyzing a new pasuk - one which struck us as difficult because of its allegorical content and (seemingly) hyperbolic style. Today we explored a few approaches. Next time we'll develop those approaches with the help of the meforshim.
Today’s Torah content is dedicated to the joyous occasion of the marriage of Jon Deutsch and Avigayil Lev. Jon has "graduated" from student, to coworker, to chavrusa and friend. Avigayil, another former student and fellow Slytherin, remains a daily presence in my virtual beis midrash. I am happy for them and I'm excited to see where their life leads them.----------

This morning (7/30/21 at YBT) we reviewed the idea we came up with yesterday, then consulted the meforshim. It turns out that the approach we took was, by and large, the same approach they took, albeit with subtle differences. Thus, most of what we did today was a refining of the ideas we came up with yesterday, and a consideration of new applications and implications.

This morning (7/29/21 at YBT) we moved on to the next pasuk, which - as hashgachah would have it - is about the same topic that we've been working on in Rambam Bekius this week: rechilus (gossip). Today's pasuk warns us not to mingle with three (or two?) types of individuals. The ideas came to us organically through our analysis, and if we have Mishlei shiur tomorrow, we'll learn the meforshim.

This morning (7/28/21 at YBT) we returned to "regular Mishlei," resuming where we left off in June. Today's pasuk seemed to fall into the "Duh!" category, but as always, deeper analysis revealed Mishleic wisdom. We developed our own complete approach, then learned Rabbeinu Yonah who was in agreement with it and developed it further.

We're back! At least, for the next two weeks (bg"h). This morning (7/26/21 at YBT) we took up a pasuk which, on the surface, appears to contradict Torah, Mishlei, and rationality itself! As is our practice, we attempted to work out the ideas on our own before consulting the meforshim. The plan for tomorrow is to figure out 3:6, and then consult the meforshim on both pesukim.

This morning (6/17/21 at YBT) we continued working on yesterday's pasuk with both of yesterday's meforshim. We definitely made progress and gleaned some nice insights, but I'm not 100% happy with our understanding of the Metzudas David, but there's definitely potential there.
And with this shiur, the 2020-2021 year of Mishlei learning draws to a close. To be more precise: the 2020-2021 year of Mishlei SHIURIM comes to a close. I, for one, intend to continue learning Mishlei over the summer, and I hope you will do the same. Our Mishlei shiurim will resume for a two-week period at the end of July (bg"h).

This morning (6/16/21 at YBT) we started a new pasuk with a highly, multi-sensorily evocative mashal. Perhaps it's because our shiur had triple the number of guys, we didn't really get to delve into the possibilities we raised. I'd like to revisit our pasuk tomorrow, which will be our last Mishlei shiur of the season.

This morning (6/15/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk, starting with Metzudas David. We then read Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation, which was consistent with the approach we had developed. We concluded by trying to learn the Ralbag's interpretation, which we didn't really understand, but which seemed interesting enough to continue musing about on our own.

יִרְאַת י״י תּוֹסִיף יָמִים וּשְׁנוֹת רְשָׁעִים תִּקְצֹרְנָה:
In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (6/14/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk which looked so basic that the Radak actually said, "[The meaning] is clear, and the pasuk is repeating the idea in different words." Nevertheless, we raised all the questions and looked for a chidush - and chidushim we found! And since this was the final Monday Night Mishlei shiur of the season, we concluded with some reflections on how our learning and practice of Mishlei has changed over the course of the year. It's been a great season of Monday Night Mishlei, and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

לְקַח בִּגְדוֹ כִּי עָרַב זָר וּבְעַד [נׇכְרִיָּה] (נכרים) חַבְלֵהוּ:
This morning (6/14/21 at YBT) we tackled a pasuk that was difficult to translate and confusing to understand on a factual level - so much so that we bypassed our usual procedure in our analysis. We ended up arriving at an approach based on Metzudas David, which we didn't quite have time to flesh out. We'd like to continue our analysis of this pasuk tomorrow, but it'll depend on whether or not we have guests in our shiur.
Also featured in this shiur were a couple of Mishlei Methodology gems.

This morning (6/10/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of 20:15 from the Metzudas David, where we left off yesterday. We got a "chidush," but not the type of truly insightful chidush I tend to look for in Mishlei. I feel like we were right there, but we just didn't get it. Yet! After that we read Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation of 20:14-15, which was most unusual. Great idea, but somewhat of a weird direction to take.

This morning (6/9/21 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 20:15 on its own. I say "on its own" because a number of meforshim connect it to the previous pasuk, which we learned on Monday. We developed a few approaches today and began analyzing the Metzudas David's explanation. Tomorrow we'll refine our understanding of his approach, and then attempt to learn Mishlei 20:14-15 as a unit.

This morning (6/8/21 at YBT) we took a break from our regularly scheduled Mishlei for a special shiur, prompted by my realization that I have given 150 shiurim this year! When reflecting on this fact, I associated to a triad of pesukim towards the end of the sefer. I realized that both the literal and the allegorical interpretations of these pesukim were relevant to the gratitude to Hashem that I felt compelled to express. Although this shiur ended up being different from our usual Mishlei shiur, I felt that it was important for me to publicly express this gratitude, and to convey the practical implications of these ideas to my talmidim.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (6/7/21 at YBT) the pasuk we learned was very easy to translate and relatively easy to analyze. The difficulty was in the highly specific analagies in the first half of the pasuk. We found that these could be interpreted in a number of different ways. Fortunately, we also discovered two approaches to learning the main idea, and all the various explanations of the analogies were able to fit seamlessly into them.

רַע רַע יֹאמַר הַקּוֹנֶה וְאֹזֵל לוֹ אָז יִתְהַלָּל:
This morning (6/7/21 at YBT) we learned one of those pesukim that elicits an immediate, "So what?" reaction upon first reading. In this case, our pasuk seemed to describe the standard and innocuous business practice of haggling over merchandise. The more we delved into our analysis, the more we recognized why Shlomo ha'Melech had to call our attention to this behavior, since the decision-making ramifications are too subtle to be noted by the average person.

This morning (6/3/21 at YBT) we took up a pasuk that looked quite basic, but we ended up getting a nice practical idea or two from it anyway - both in the nigleh and the nistar ways of learning.
FYI, the book on sleep Isaac keeps talking about is called Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams.

This morning (6/1/21 at YBT) we learned a new pasuk with intentionally ambiguous wording that leads to two nearly opposite readings. We ended up developing one approach, which was corroborated by the Metzudas David, and we quickly read through Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary which reflected the alternative approach.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (5/31/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk which posed a double difficulty: it was awkward to read and translate, and the idea seemed to be quite similar to the last pasuk we learned. Thankfully, we managed to get a chidush (new insight) which was corroborated by the Malbim. (Note: this shiur was shorter than usual, both because we had fewer participants and because I was up since 3:00am and ran out of steam after we got the main idea.)

This morning (5/31/21 at YBT) we continued learning the pasuk we started on Thursday. As we discovered then, this pasuk intersects a number of different subjects, including Chumash, Torah she'baal Peh, aggadata. We decided to focus on the statements of Chazal brought down by the Rambam, keeping the Mishlei pasuk in the back of our mind. Tomorrow we'll either attempt to define "toeivah" in the Chumash or we'll learn the meforshim on our pasuk in Mishlei.

This morning (5/27/21 at YBT) we began learning a pasuk which, on the surface, is unnecessary, since the Chumash says the same thing with greater elaboration. We spent some time getting the facts, which turned into a quasi Rambam Bekius shiur, and then we outlined an approach to the pasuk. Our full analysis will have to wait until next week.

This morning (5/25/21 at YBT) we had planned to do the meforshim on 20:8, but since many of them take it to be connected to 20:9, we decided to focus on the latter today and then learn the meforshim on both of them tomorrow. We probably would have gotten further today, but I took a detour to talk about "The Ken Method of Decision-Making," which was a tool that my chavrusa and I developed for applying Mishleic thinking to specific decisions. The plan for tomorrow is to continue our own analysis of 20:9, then examine the meforshim on 20:8 and 20:9.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (5/24/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk that sounded both weird (in terms of diction and syntax) and untrue. As always, our questions guided us to approaches, and our approaches led to ideas, and our ideas led to insights. We ended up with an idea that some felt was too basic, but after refining it, we came to a solid chidush (novel insight) with practical ramifications.

(The Super Ultra Hyper Mega Meta Mishlei review was a worthwhile use of time, but I just couldn't bear to spend another day NOT learning fresh Mishlei.) We continued with our new plan of me not preparing ahead of time and we arrived at 2.5 ideas. Tomorrow we'll consult the מפרשים.

This morning (5/21/21 at YBT) we continued our review of every pasuk we've learned in our morning Mishlei shiur since the beginning of the year. Once again, there were pesukim about which we said, "I have no memory of this place." And this time, I don't feel inclined to go back and listen to the old shiurim. Instead, we proceeded with the mentality of, "we'll get out of this review whatever we get out of this review."
To repeat our plan: our goal wasn't necessary to review all of the IDEAS (since we often came up with 2-5 ideas for each pasuk), but rather, to review at least ONE idea for each pasuk. We also didn't bother to get every single detail of the idea, and certainly not all of the textual or interpretive nuances. For this reason, I don't know how valuable this review will be for those who weren't present when we learned the pesukim. If our presentation of the idea seems superficial or incomplete, that's because we were only reviewing enough to job our own memories.
Additionally, because we were covering lots of consecutive pesukim, we had additional insights into the connections and associations between the pesukim which we missed the first time around.
We plan on continuing this tomorrow and next week until we complete our review, at which point we'll return to our regularly scheduled Mishlei programming.

This morning (5/20/21 at YBT) we continued our review every pasuk we've learned in our morning Mishlei shiur since the beginning of the year. This time there were a couple of pesukim we didn't really remember so well.

This morning (5/19/21 at YBT) we embarked on an ambitious mission: to review every pasuk we've learned in our morning Mishlei shiur since the beginning of the year. Our goal wasn't necessary to review all of the IDEAS (since we often came up with 2-5 ideas for each pasuk), but rather, to review at least one idea for each pasuk. We also didn't bother to get every single detail of the idea, and certainly not all of the textual or interpretive nuances. For this reason, I don't know how valuable this review will be for those who weren't present when we learned the pesukim. If our presentation of the idea seems superficial or incomplete, that's because we were only reviewing enough to job our own memories.
Additionally, because we were covering lots of consecutive pesukim, we had addtional insights into the connections and associations between the pesukim which we missed the first time around.
We plan on continuing this tomorrow and next week until we complete our review, at which point we'll return to our regularly scheduled Mishlei programming.

This morning (5/13/21 at YBT) we learned a new pasuk which first struck us as ambiguous on a number of levels. Once we started analyzing it, everything clicked into place, and we emerged with a nice idea. Unfortunately, since this is the last Mishlei shiur we're having before Shavuos, we won't have time to look into the meforshim.

This morning (5/12/21 at YBT) we wrapped up our learning of the pasuk we've been focusing on this week. We learned the explanations of Rabbeinu Yonah and, to a lesser extent, the Meiri, and although we gained some insights here and there, we didn't find anything to rival our first explanation. Tomorrow we will plan to move on to a new pasuk.

This morning (5/11/21 at YBT) we continued learning the pasuk we began yesterday on how people advertise the chesed they do. First we refined our own approach. Next, we had a brief discussion about my "Mishlei Power Rankings" and why I include Metzudas David, Rabbeinu Yonah, and Meiri in the S tier. We then learned the Metzudas David's pshat, which differed from ours. The plan for tomorrow is to look into some other meforshim, and then move on to the next pasuk.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (5/10/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned what looked to be a very confusing pasuk, both linguistically and conceptually. To be honest, I was a little worried during our questioning period whether this would be a fruitful learning session. Thankfully, it was. We came up with three different approaches during shiur, a fourth which I had prepared ahead of time, and a fifth during the afterparty, once shiur had officially ended. This just goes to show you that you can never predict how your learning will turn out. Just play with Torah and don't feel like you have to accomplish anything.
Speaking of which, for the blog post with the Richard Feynman anecdote I read, click here.

This morning (5/10/21 at YBT) we began learning one of the few pesukim in Mishlei that has anything to do with chesed (kindness). It shouldn't come as a surprise that Mishlei takes a very Mishleic approach to the topic of chesed. (I won't spoil that tautology by expanding on what it means here.)
I should also mention that as the result of an honest and open discussion with my talmidim this past Shabbos, I wive decided that I will no longer be preparing for this shiur ahead of time. We - my talmidim and I - felt that we would all gain more if we all learn through the pesukim together, even if this means that the process will be messier and we'll encounter more dead ends. So that's what we're going to do from now on. In doing so, we will be following Bruce Lee's sage advice:
"The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or in defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment."

This morning (5/6/21 at YBT) we went back to our regularly scheduled Mishlei programming, continuing where we left off in Chapter 20. At first glance, today's pasuk looked fairly straightforward, but we soon discovered that it could be read in different ways even with the same translation and syntax. After coming up with our own idea, we learned the Rabbeinu Yonah's approach, which connected our pasuk with the topic we've been learning for the past week. We concluded with a quick reading of the Meiri, which allowed us to apply our pasuk to a topic that we had been discussing outside of our Mishlei shiur (i.e. prematurely delving too deeply into psychological self-knowledge).

This morning (5/5/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of the Meiri's "derech ha'nistar" approach to our pesukim about laziness. We learned several new insights from his commentary on the pesukim about the ant, but decided to stop once we saw how in-depth he went in his "mapping" of the faculties of the soul - an important topic, to be sure, but not one that we were prepared to spend our morning Mishlei shiur investigating. Although there's more to be learned in the Meiri's derech ha'nistar commentary on our pesukim, our plan is to return to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
For an overview of the Meiri's approach to Mishlei in general, check out my article: "Mishlei Methodology: Meiri - Nigleh and Nistar."

This morning (5/4/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of the cluster of pesukim in Mishlei 6 about laziness. After reviewing what we covered last time and developing it further, we began working on the derech ha'nistar approach of the Meiri. We didn't get very far today because the statements of Chazal he quoted turned out to be quite rich and broad in their implications. We plan on continuing tomorrow.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (5/3/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk which was an anomaly in that it focused on Hashem's actions, without any reference to Mishleic personalities. After working out the translation of the pasuk and reviewing what it means when Mishlei talks about Hashem, we came up with two approaches which were reflected in the Rabbeinu Yonah and the Meiri. At the very end we also learned the Ibn Kaspi's metaphorical approach, and in the "afterparty" we talked about how to make ideas like this real to us to the point where they affect our emotions.

After reviewing what we covered last time on 6:6-7, we continued with 8-11 - first on our own, and then with the Meiri. Tomorrow we'll learn the Derech Nistar, which applies these pesukim to chochmah.

This morning (4/29/21 at YBT) we took a detour to a cluster of pesukim from the Introduction to Mishlei, as per the Meiri's suggestion in his commentary on yesterday's pasuk. This is the first place in Sefer Mishlei that deals with the topic of laziness, and it's where the Meiri addresses the topic. We attempted to analyze the pesukim on our own at first, and then we began the Meiri's commentary. We intend to continue this on Monday.

This morning (4/28/21 at YBT) we learned another relatively straightforward pasuk - thanks, in no small measure, to the definition of laziness provided by Saadia Gaon in his introduction to Mishlei. The insight we gained was still valuable, and we would like to give more thought to the topic tomorrow.

This morning (4/27/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk that was refreshingly straightforward and easy to interpret, yet just as rich and practical as the other ideas in Mishlei. We even managed to connect it to yesterday's pasuk, "Rabbeinu Yonah style" (in quotation marks because Rabbeinu Yonah, himself, didn't connect it in this way).

My understanding of several Mishleic personalities has been shifting as of late, and I wanted to explore some of these insights with my Monday Night Mishlei group. For this reason, we took a break from our pasuk-by-pasuk learning of Mishlei Chapter 10 in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (4/26/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) in order to refine our understanding of three Mishleic archetypes: the naar (misguided youth), the pesi (naive simpleton), and the ksil (the seasoned pleasure-addict), as explained by Rabbeinu Yonah.

This morning (4/26/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk that was quite similar to Mishlei 19:12, which we learned earlier this year. We arrived at two ideas here: one based on a creative reading which was aimed at the king (and anyone who is in a position of eminent leadership), and the other based on the pshat which was aimed at the subject (and anyone who is in a subordinate role to a powerful leader).
For a fuller picture on this topic, check out the two shiurim on Mishlei 19:12:
Mishlei 19:12 - The Silent Roar and Loud Dew of a King
Mishlei 19:12 - The Roar and Dew of the King of the Universe

This morning (4/21/21 at YBT) we wrapped up our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. We managed to resolve the problems we had with the Metzudas David's interpretation yesterday. We then learned Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation, which (it turns out) was where I got half of mine from. Lastly, we explored a metaphorical interpretation based on the Yalkut Shimoni.

This morning (4/21/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk. First we reviewed and refined two of the approaches from yesterday. The second of those approaches gave rise to a third, which we also explored. We then began working on the Metzudas David's explanation, which I felt was missing something but which others in the shiur weren't bothered by. We intend to continue working on that approach tomorrow, and then looking into Rabbeinu Yonah and possibly some others.

This morning (4/20/21 at YBT) we began learning a VERY difficult-to-translate pasuk. We were immediately confronted with six or seven different ways to translate it. Nevertheless, we were able to make some headway in our understanding, and began developing several approaches. Tomorrow we'll try to clarify today's insights, and then consult the meforshim.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (4/19/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we came up with two ideas. The first was a nice, standard Mishleic idea which followed Saadia Gaon's translation. The second was a foundational insight into the personality of the eveel (Pleasure-Seeking Fool) with far-reaching implications. Let this stand as an example of how the most basic questions should continue to be asked, and the most foundational concepts must continually be reexamined.

This morning (4/19/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk which seems to be fundamental in our understanding of leiztim and ksilim. We explored several different approaches and refined them to around the 75-90% complete range. There are still some questions that remain to be answered and some ideas that remain to be developed, but at least we managed to gain some insights.

This morning (4/15/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk which felt like a multiple-choice test when it came to the translation. After some initial fumbling we arrived at not one, not two, but three interpretations! The bonus is that all three interpretations were based on only one translation, which means that there still other avenues to explore.

This morning (4/14/21 at YBT) we departed from our current chapter to take a request: the pasuk which is the source of the oft-quoted idiom "one who hates gifts will live." We were somewhat pressed for time, but we managed to come up with two or three solid approaches.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (4/12/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we decided tried an experiment: a part live and part hybrid shiur (as opposed to a Zoom only shiur). The bad news is that the experiment was a failure. The good news is that we still managed to get three explanations of this week's pasuk, which revolved around the difference between the speech of the tzadik and the speech of the rasha. Hopefully the failed format didn't interfere too much with the quality of the content!

This morning (4/12/21 at YBT) we began working on an EXTREMELY convoluted pasuk. Our session was shortened because of Rosh Chodesh davening, and we spent the majority of the time working on translations. We ended shiur with three translations and a number of translations. Tomorrow we'll see whether all three translations boil down to the same basic approach with different nuances, or whether they reflect different ideas.

We don't usually do Mishlei on Friday mornings, but I had an epiphany last night about a speculative application of Mishlei within the framework of IFS (Internal Family Systems) based on a comment made by Shadal about human nature and a methodological premise articulated by Saadia Gaon in his introduction to Mishlei. I decided to share that speculative approach prior to my Friday Q&A (4/9/21 at YBT), which was complemented by a similar epiphany of one of my talmidim.
Note that I barely know anything about IFS, other than what was said in Tim Ferriss's interview of Richard Schwartz, the founder of IFS. For more information, see https://ifs-institute.com/

Our morning Mishlei shiur (4/8/21 at YBT) resumed with another pasuk about disciplining one's children. This one didn't focus on the method of discipline, but rather on the consequences of the failure to do so. And not just any consequences, but some rather dire ones - especially according to the Metzudos! (Note: if this shiur looks or sounds different than usual, it's because I recorded it on Loom rather than Zoom. Let me know if there are any problems with the recording!)

This morning (3/23/21 at YBT) we continued learning through Rabbeinu Yonah's character profiles of the pesi, the leitz, and the naar. Even though we learned through these same sources six months ago, we came away with new insights and a clearer understanding this time around. We concluded by learning Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary on our pasuk, which tied everything together quite nicely.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (3/22/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we decided to deviate from our chapter in order to learn a pasuk that I hoped would shed light on the Arbaah Banim section of the Haggadah - and it did! We ended up having an excellent discussion about education from a Mishleic perspective with applications far beyond the night of the seder.

This morning (3/22/21 at YBT) I was inclined to choose a pasuk that had something to do with Pesach, since this is the week before Pesach. As it so happens, according to Rashi the pasuk we were scheduled to learn DOES have to do with Pesach! We began analyzing the pasuk itself but quickly realized that we'd need to brush up on our understanding of the pesi (naive simpleton) and the leitz (scoffer). We reviewed Rabbeinu Yonah's treatment of these two subjects - which, coincidentally, we initially learned the week before Sukkos. We intend to complete our review of Rabbeinu Yonah tomorrow, and then return to our pasuk.

This morning (3/18/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk about laziness. After struggling through some of the more obscure translations, we decided to go with the smoother reading, which led to a foundational discussion about the nature of laziness. We might not have arrived at a "final" interpretation of our pasuk, but we definitely gave a lot of thought to the topic of laziness as a whole.

This morning (3/17/21 at YBT), armed with our definition of yiras Hashem from yesterday's pesukim (1:7 and 15:33), we continued our analysis of Mishlei 19:23 and arrived at a nice idea which happened to coincide with some Stoic ideas that I've been discussing on The Stoic Jew Podcast lately (shameless plug: https://thestoicjew.buzzsprout.com). "How," you may ask, "is yiras Hashem comparable to Keto?" I guess you'll have to listen to find out!

יִרְאַת יְיָ רֵאשִׁית דָּעַת, חָכְמָה וּמוּסָר אֱוִילִים בָּזוּ:
יִרְאַת י״י מוּסַר חׇכְמָה וְלִפְנֵי כָבוֹד עֲנָוָה:
This morning (3/16/21 at YBT) we began our analysis of Mishlei 19:23, the next pasuk in our perek, but because this was the first pasuk we've learned this year which mentioned yiras Hashem (fear of God), we decided to take a detour to the two main pesukim in Mishlei on that topic. Although our interpretation of those two pesukim still need a bit of work, we emerged with a clear enough definition of yiras Hashem to be able to tackle 19:23 tomorrow.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (3/15/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk which seemed like a cliche Mishlei idea at first glance. As always, once we delved into the analysis, we became sensitive to the nuances and we managed to uncover a new idea. As usual, we also discussed a lot of methodology along the way.

This morning (3/15/21 at YBT) we learned a very weird-sounding pasuk which seemed to consist of a jumble of unrelated topics. We came up with one approach based on Saadia Gaon's translation WITHOUT consulting his commentary, and we came up with a second approach based on his commentary.

This morning (3/10/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk that many of us say every day as part of davening. The challenge with such familiar pesukim is to be able to look at them with fresh eyes. I believe we succeeded in that this morning, and developed some nice approaches which we will continue to explore tomorrow.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (3/8/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk which leant itself to several different readings. Thankfully, the several streams of thought in the group flowed into a single river, and we arrived at a consensus about the main idea - one which highlighted Mishlei's intended role as a commentary on Torah.

This morning (3/8/21 at YBT) we learned a pasuk that was complex in its simplicity: easy to translate, but broad and obvious-sounding enough that it posed some difficulty. We worked out a general approach which we hope to flesh out tomorrow with the aid of the meforshim.

This morning (3/4/21 at YBT) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk - this time, with help from the meforshim! Rabbeinu Yonah connected 19:19 with 19:18, taking a similar route to Rashi, but with greater elaboration and broader implications. Metzudas David was more difficult to understand, but led to a good discussion. We took a quick look at the (fake) Ibn Ezra at the end of shiur, who took a creative approach to this pasuk.

This morning (3/3/21 at YBT) we began a pasuk which was REALLY challenging to translate! We began with a summary of the Abravanel's view of kri/ksiv, then we did the messy work of translating the pasuk, and we concluded by raising major questions and problems, and venturing one possible approach to the pasuk. Hopefully the meforshim will help us out tomorrow.

This morning (3/2/21 at YBT) we continued the pasuk we began yesterday. We started with Rabbeinu Yonah, whose explanation was the closest to the approach we took yesterday. We then contrasted this with Rashi's explanation of the second half, which was almost the opposite. This led to a discussion about corporal punishment in general. We ended by comparing and contrasting Rabbeinu Yonah's and Rashi's explanations of the pasuk.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (3/1/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we faced another formidable pasuk, with many possible readings. Our discussions in shiur are often unpredictable. This time, instead of trying out many approaches that were clearly demarcated, we ended up proceeding seemlessly from one approach to the other without even realizing it. We attempted to summarize our three main approaches in the end, which I hope made things clearer!

Sometimes it's the straightforward-sounding pesukim that are the most difficult to understand. This morning (3/1/21 at YBT) we read a fairly straightforward pasuk addressing a father's rationalizations for not disciplining his son. Perhaps it's because this pasuk can be taken in different directions, and perhaps it's because the topic of rebuke is very broad, but either way, we ended the day feeling like we were at a bit of a crossroads. Tomorrow we'll turn to the meforshim for guidance.

This morning (2/24/21 at YBT) we revisited and refined our idea from last time using a surprising source: the Rambam in the Peirush ha'Mishnayos to Peah 1:1. Then, in another shocking move, we tried our hand at understanding Rashi's interpretation, which was echoed by the Ri Nachmias. If you're looking for an idea to pair with your matanos la'evyonim this Purim, be sure to check this out!

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (2/22/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk which, like many pesukim in Mishlei, focused on the difference between a tzadik and a rasha. We ended up DEFINING the terms "tzadik" and "rasha," based on my understanding of how they're used in Mishlei, and explaning the pasuk on that basis.

We struggled to figure out an approach, turned to Rabbeinu Yonah for guidance, and then proposed an explanation. We'll revisit this pasuk tomorrow to see if we can refine today's idea, and to see what the other meforshim have to say.

This morning (2/18/20 at YBT) we learned a pasuk that seemed ambiguous on multiple levels, but we found that "all rivers run into the sea" (i.e. all of the translation permutations led to the same basic idea). This isn't the first time I've encountered a pasuk like that, and I don't know what to make of it, other than to note that it is noteworthy.

We began with Saadia Gaon's commentary (as presented by the Meiri), then learned the Meiri's own interpretation, and concluded with Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation. We also read Rashi, but didn't have time to figure out what he was saying.

עַצְלָה תַּפִּיל תַּרְדֵּמָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְמִיָּה תִרְעָב:
This morning (2/16/20 at YBT) we starting learning a pasuk about laziness. Knowing my fondness for Saadia Gaon's definition of laziness as stated in his Introduction to Mishlei, it was inevitable that we'd end up there. Thankfully, we were able to work out an idea combining that definition of laziness with his translation of "remiyah" here. Tomorrow we'll look at the other meforshim.
For a partial translation of Saadia Gaon's Introduction to Mishlei, check out this article I wrote.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (2/15/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we tackled a pasuk that was mystifying in some ways and obvious in others. We discussed a LOT of methodology, both during and after shiur, including topics such as the difference between Mishlei and Pirkei Avos, the caution needed when attempting to interpret pesukim in a more universal manner than the words suggest, the subtle differences between interpretation and application, and more. Oh, and did I mention we also came up with several interpretations of the actual pasuk which were reflected in the meforshim? Suffice it to say, this was a jam-packed shiur.

בַּיִת וָהוֹן נַחֲלַת אָבוֹת וּמֵי״י אִשָּׁה מַשְׂכָּלֶת
The last pasuk we learned was about a contentious wife, and the pasuk we learned this morning (2/15/20 at YBT) was about an intelligent wife. This was one of those pesukim that was unclear on a number of levels: what it means, who it's for, and what are its implications. We came up with our own approach, found value in the Meiri's nigleh and nistar interpretations, and were puzzled by Rabbeinu Yonah.

This morning (2/11/20 at YBT) we continued our analysis of yesterday's pasuk about the negative impact of foolish sons and nagging wives. We learned Rabbeinu Yonah and the Meiri, then compared and contrasted the two interpretations, with a few observations of our own. We concluded by reading the Meiri's "derech nistar" approach, but didn't have time to work on it.

Since we had 30 minutes instead of the usual 45, we only had time to raise the questions and begin developing an approach. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll develop our approach and consult the meforshim.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (2/8/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned yet another pasuk about chachamim, fools, and speech. Our analysis was an exercise in balancing our understanding of terms based on previous pesukim with keeping our minds open to new interpretations. We ultimately arrived at one clear idea and a few ideas that still could use some work.

First we reviewed the idea from Rabbeinu Yonah, then we compared it to the Metzudas David, and then we did something we usually don't do: we attempted to understand Rashi's interpretation, with help and guidance from the Meiri.

MORNING MISHLEI IS BACK, BABY! The pasuk we learned this morning (2/8/20 at YBT) features a bizarrely asymmetrical metaphor whose meaning and practical import is not at all clear. We spent the morning experimenting with various approaches and concluded with (what I consider to be) the most viable approach among the meforshim, that of Rabbeinu Yonah. Tomorrow we'll revisit this pasuk and attempt to sharpen our understanding, and maybe take a look at some other meforshim as well.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (2/1/21 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT, broadcasting from Seattle due to a snow storm in NY) we learned one of those pesukim in which the two halves seem to have nothing to do with each other. On top of that, the pasuk contained technical jargon of the most difficult variety: "knowledge words" (i.e. navon, chochmah, chasar leiv). And yet, with our usual Monday Night Mishlei teamwork, we were able to arrive at several nice ideas, with a lot of methodology along the way. And in a way, our pasuk was about methodology and the type of courage it takes to make progress in one's development as a thinker.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (1/11/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk which is perennially relevant, but especially in the present era where it is so easy to offend and to be offended. At the very least this pasuk will help a person to avoid needness quarrels. If consistently and effecitvely practiced, might even make a person immune to being offended.

The pasuk we learned this morning (1/11/20 at YBT) teaches an extremely beneficial strategy for dealing with anger. Rabbeinu Yonah maintains that "extremely beneficial" isn't enough. The difference between these two approaches to the pasuk reveals an important insight into the place of Mishlei within a person's development and perfection as a human being.

The pasuk we learned this morning (1/7/20 at YBT) was perplexing and led us to consult the meforshim sooner than we usual do. We couldn't quite figure out what Metzudas David was getting at, but Rabbeinu Yonah's approach proved to be fruitful - especially when we attempted to explain how this idea fits into Mishlei as a whole.

This morning (1/6/20 at YBT) we experienced some serious déjà vu! Today's pasuk was EXACTLY the same as Mishlei 19:5, which we learned last week, with the exception of one word. We've seen pesukim which resemble other pesukim in PART, and we've seen pesukim which are entirely verbatim repetitions but are written by different authors (Shlomo ha'Melech vs. Anshei Chizkiyahu). This is the first time we've seen such an extreme repetition in such close proximity. Thankfully, the Ralbag and Malbim helped us to develop an approach! We also sharpened some of the methodological insights we came up with on Monday (on 10:11) and yesterday (on 19:8).

This morning (1/5/20 at YBT) we revisited yesterday's pasuk with the aim to understand Rabbeinu Yonah's explanation. First we took up the "machlokess" between Rabbeinu Yonah and R' Yosef ibn Kaspi on whether one should interpret the sequencing and juxtaposition of pesukim in Mishlei. Next we tackled the main part of his commentary and ended up arriving at a really nice idea. Finally, at the end of shiur, we had a brief discussion about the merits of deductive vs. inductive arguments - a topic which came up in my English class yesterday but was also related to my interpretation of our pasuk from yesterday.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (1/4/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we had yet ANOTHER pasuk whose second half was a verbatim repetition of a pasuk we learned two weeks ago! This pasuk had a lot more "moving parts" and raised a lot more questions than the last. As usual, we got into a lot of discussions about methodology - including a discussion about what makes a question a good question - and we ultimately came up with three approaches to understanding our pasuk.

This morning (1/4/20 at YBT) we learned a very generic sounding pasuk about the pursuit of knowledge. The challenge was to interpret it in a manner that accounted for its generality but offered an idea that still felt like a chidush (novel insight). We came up with three approaches, then read through the meforshim and didn't find much that was satisfying. Rabbeinu Yonah alone took a radically different approach, which we intend to revisit tomorrow morning.

This morning (12/31/20 at YBT) we learned yet another pasuk about poverty and its detrminents. The challenge was that the first half of this pasuk was very similar to 19:4, which also dealt with the phenomenon of a poor person being abandoned by his friends. As usual, the key to uncovering the idea was to identify the subject of the pasuk and then look for the chidush (novel insight) accordingly. The ultimate idea we emerged with was far broader than the scope of the pasuk as we initially conceived of it.

The Malbim's explanation was the closest to our own approach, but led us to a new insight. In the last 10 minutes of shiur we started the next pasuk, which we'll continue tomorrow.

This morning (12/29/20 at YBT) we tackled what appeared to be a "cliche" Mishlei pasuk about generosity which provided us a good opportunity to practice "de-clicheifying" the pasuk by focusing on the nuances and looking for chidushim (novel insights). We developed a good approach on our own, which was semi-supported by Rabbeinu Yonah, but the meforshim we looked at didn't really elucidate the pasuk in a manner that led to chidushim. We plan on revisiting this pasuk tomorrow to see if we can polish the idea.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (12/28/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we found ourselves confronted with a pasuk whose first half was strange and difficult to translate and whose second half was a verbatim repetition of a pasuk we learned two weeks ago. Needless to say, this led to a TON of methodology questions and insights - more than usual! Thankfully, we also came away with a smooth interpretation that checked all the right boxes. We concluded by comparing our interpretation of this pasuk with the pasuk from two weeks ago to see if we could arrive at any unified understanding of the repeated phrase - and we did!

This morning (12/28/20 at YBT) we learned an interesting pasuk. It's interesting because it's difficult to tell whether the pasuk is TOO general or TOO specific. We ended up learning two ideas: one based on seeing the nuance in what would otherwise be a conventional Mishleic stance on lying, and the other based on the Metzudas David's non-intuitive take on the pasuk.

This morning (12/24/20 at YBT) we continued our analysis of the pasuk we began yesterday. We found support for both of the approaches we started yesterday. I interjected with a pitch for why the activity of watching movies makes for an excellent supplement to Mishlei, and quoted a scene from "Nixon" (1995) to support my pshat. We then went through several explanations given by the meforshim, concluding with some methodology from the Meiri.

This morning (12/22/20 at YBT) we continued working on the pasuk we started yesterday. Like last time, we began with a non-Mishlei Mishlei commentary on the pasuk - this time from the Rambam, in the Moreh ha'Nevuchim 3:12. After reading the second half of that chapter and discussing its implications, we surveyed the Mishlei commentaries of Ralbag, Rabbeinu Yonah, Metzudas David, and Meiri, concluding with his derech nistar approach.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (12/21/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned one of those pesukim that looks simple on the surface. Thankfully, using our Mishleic methodology principles and the combined teamwork of our group, we were able to come up with THREE interpretations beyond the "cliche" surface-level idea!

This morning (12/21/20 at YBT) we returned to Chapter 19 where we encountered what looks like a very fundamental pasuk - fundamental in understanding Mishleic foolishness, and fundamental in understanding (or, more accurately, not misunderstanding) one's relationship with Hashem. We ended up consulting a commentary earlier than usual: the Ralbag on Iyov 5:2. We gained a lot of insight into the phenomenon, but there remains some work to be done on the pasuk. Tomorrow's plan is to dive into the meforshim on Mishlei.

This morning (12/18/20 at YBT), in our shorter-than-usual Mishlei shiur, we attempted to come up with a cohesive approach to the pesukim we began learning yesterday. With the help of the Meiri, I believe we succeeded! It still needs some tweaking, but at least we came away with something!

This morning (12/17/20 at YBT), after a week's hiatus, we returned to our exploration of the "Chanukah pesukim" (i.e. pesukim in Mishlei which can be homiletically associated with Chanukah). We began working on the famous comparison of the mitzvah and Torah to a lamp and light. We quickly realized that this pasuk can't be learned in isolation, but ought to be learned in its local context of 6:20-23. Today we tried coming up with our own approach, and our plan for tomorrow is to consult the meforshim.

This morning (12/11/20 at YBT) we continued our "Chanukah pesukim" from yesterday. We attempted to refine our understanding of the Rabbeinu Yonah, and got it a LITTLE bit clearer, but not by much. We did, however, find a nice interpretation in the Malbim. If you come up with something better, for Rabbeinu Yonah or anyone else, let me know. Happy Chanukah!

This morning (12/10/20 at YBT) we decided to take a break from our ordinary Mishlei and take up the pesukim about Chanukah. Obviously there are no pesukim which are ACTUALLY about Chanukah, but there are three pesukim which utilize the metaphor of a candle. Our plan is to learn through all of them, starting with the last one. We began our analysis today, were stumped by what seems like a "cliche" Mishlei idea with a the perplexing mashal of the candle tacked on at the end. Towards the end we read through Rabbeinu Yonah's commentary, which seems fruitful, but we won't get a chance to explore it in-depth until tomorrow.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (12/8/20 at YBT) we started working on Mishlei 19:2, which is a good example of what I call a "Duh!" pasuk - one which seems so general and obvious on the surface that it didn't even need to be said. But these pesukim also tend to be the most fun to work on. In fact, today we spent the whole time analyzing the pasuk on our own, and we made good progress, even though we didn't arrive at any definitive conclusions. Tomorrow the plan is to delve into the commentaries.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (12/7/20 with Lomdeha, hosted at YBT) we learned a pasuk about mitzvos. One of the central questions was: Which mitzvos? The mitzvos of Hashem in the Torah? The "mitzvos" of Shlomo ha'Melech in Mishlei? "Commandments" from people in general? We developed two approaches and ended up discovering that the answer to this particular question didn't really matter, since the idea applied across the board.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (12/7/20 at YBT) we began Chapter 19 ... not that the chapter numbers really matter, especially according to Rabbeinu Yonah on 19:1. This pasuk was difficult to crack, given its non sequitur nature. Nevertheless, we came up with two ideas: one on the pasuk in isolation, and the other based on Rabbeinu Yonah, who learns this pasuk as a continuation of 18:23-24.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (12/3/20 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 18:24 - the last pasuk in our perek! This one was difficult to translate. In a relatively rare occurrence, we ended up concurring with the Malbim's minority opinion on how to read and explain the pasuk. We also learned Rabbeinu Yonah, who connected today's pasuk to yesterday's, and the GRA, whose explanation complemented the Malbim's.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (12/2/20 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 18:23. This is a great example of a pasuk which looks like it's about a very particular scenario, but the idea turns out to have a far broader application.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (12/1/20 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 26:24-25. To be honest, I debated whether to upload this one. Chazal say "the words of Torah are poor in their place and rich in another place" (Talmud Yerushalmi Rosh ha'Shanah 3:4), and - to be frank - today's pesukim were poor. Or at least, if they DID contain riches, we didn't find them. Ultimately, I decided to post this because it stands as an example of the fact that there ARE pesukim such as these. And who knows? Perhaps someone who listens to this shiur will find more than we did.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (11/30/20 with Lomdeha, hosted at YBT) we learned the pasuk which is the source of the famous phrase "zeicher tzadik li'vrachah" (zt"l). We arrived at the main idea by thinking about the pasuk, and then refined our understanding in light of the Meiri and the Rid, whose explanations dovetailed ours. Now all we need to do is popularize the phrase which also features the lessser known phrase "shem resha'im yirkav" (shr"y)!

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/30/20 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 18:22, which is either about marriage per se, or marriage to an intelligent wife. We worked out one approach for each reading, and concluding with a rather amusing interpretation which connected our pasuk to the two pesukim that preceded it.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/25/20 at YBT) we revisited Mishlei 18:19, which we learned this past Monday, hoping to refine the idea we got from Rabbeinu Yonah. We learned through the Meiri, both in the nigleh and the nistar, and we dabbled in the Chukah (a.k.a. R' Yosef Kimchi), but didn't find anything we liked better than Rabbeinu Yonah. In fact, we ended up noticing a major disagreement in the commentaries as to whether the "lottery solution" could even resolve fraternal quarrelling, or whether fraternal quarrelling was the limit.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/24/20 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 18:20-21 - a pair of pesukim featuring a bizarre and somewhat grotesque allegory. Miraculously, we managed to figure out a good explanation which was subsequently confirmed by the Meiri. Since we had extra time, we also learned the Meiri's derech nistar explanation, which had more to do with tefilah than everyday decision-making.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (11/23/20 with Lomdeha, hosted at YBT) we began by struggling through the translation of 10:6. After the dust settled, and we formulated our questions, the sailing was rather smooth. We got a least two ideas for the pasuk, and discussed a lot of Mishlei methodology along the way. In the "after shiur" part of shiur, we concluded by reading an excerpt from Halakhic Man.

After defining the according to him and fleshing out the practical implications, we clarified our understanding of the ideas we had yesterday based on Metzudas David and Ralbag.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (11/16/20 with Lomdeha, hosted at YBT) we learned Mishlei 10:5 which deals with the peculiar case of someone who plants during the planting season, but sleeps through the harvest. We learned three explanations: one original, one based on Metzudas David and Radak, and one based on the Malbim. We ended off with Seneca's first letter to Lucilius, since it paired so nicely with the Malbim.

We attempted to learn the pasuk on our own, then turned to Metzudas David and Ralbag. Tomorrow we'll refine our understanding and learn Rabbeinu Yonah's approach.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (11/9/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned a pasuk which seemed fairly simple on its surface. This gave us an opportunity to push past the surface-level interpretation and search for a chidush (novel insight), which we did! And over the course of our analysis, we explored the topics of Mishleic laziness and Mishleic diligence, and acquired lots of Mishlei methodology along the way.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/9/20 at YBT) we began our analysis of Mishlei 18:15 which compares the manner in which the chacham and the navon relate to knowledge. Since this is the first pasuk we've done which deals with the terms chochmah, binah, and daas, we discussed the difficulties posed by these terms. We then proceeded to come up with two approaches to the pasuk which we will explore and develop tomorrow.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/4/20 at YBT) we set out to refine our understanding of 18:4, which we've been working on for the past two days. Instead, we learned a new approach from Rashi which happened to tie into an idea we discussed in our Koheles shiur last night, rooted in the Rambam's commentary on Berachos Perek 9 Mishnah 5. This led us to Mishlei 12:25 (and Marcus Aurelius's Meditations 3:16 along with the story of Nachum Ish Gamzu in Sanhedrin 108b-109a), which we started working on and will continue tomorrow. Sometimes you gotta just go wherever Mishlei leads you!

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/3/20 at YBT) we took a different approach to Mishlei 18:14, based on those meforshim who hold that this pasuk is about the relationship between the mind (intellect and/or psyche) and the health and illness of the physical body. We saw several different approaches, and will attempt to unify or synthesize them when we review tomorrow.

In our Monday Night Mishlei shiur (11/2/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we took up the difficult-to-translate and challenging-to-understand Mishlei 10:3. The first half of the pasuk boldly asserts that Hashem will not starve a tzadik. The second half then says ... what, exactly? Thankfully, we managed to emerge with two or three nice ideas, and - as usual - a pocketful of Mishlei methodology.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/2/20 at YBT) we began learning Mishlei 18:14, the wording of which is difficult and ambiguous. The chief ambiguity pertains to the word "ruach," which can be translated as either "psyche" or "intellect." Today we took the latter approach and managed to work out most of an idea. The plan for tomorrow is to see whether this idea is supported in the meforshim, and then try learning the pasuk with "ruach" translated as "psyche."

In our morning Mishlei shiur (10/28/20 at YBT) we continued our analysis of Mishlei 18:12. We started by refining the two approaches we took yesterday, supporting one of them with the commentary of the GRA, and then we developed two more approaches.

In our morning Mishlei shiur (10/27/20 at YBT) we began our analysis of Mishlei 18:12. Our learning was so fruitful that we didn't even get to the meforshim! We came up with two interpretations, each based on a different reading of the pasuk. Tomorrow we'll refine these interpretations, then venture into the meforshim to learn what they have to say.

In our Monday Night Community Mishlei shiur (10/26/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned Mishlei 10:2: לֹא יוֹעִילוּ אוֹצְרוֹת רֶשַׁע, וּצְדָקָה תַּצִּיל מִמָּוֶת. This pasuk was a real exercise in walking the fine line between interpreting the pasuk literally and figuratively, narrowly and broadly, conservatively and speculatively. We emerged with a good interpretation and several other good leads, and picked up some Mishlei methodology on the way.

The pasuk we learned in Mishlei shiur this morning (10/26/20 at YBT) is clearly related to the previous pasuk. How it is related is a matter of debate. This morning's pasuk also raised the controversial question: Should you assume that every Mishlei pasuk is telling the truth? According to Ralbag, ibn Kaspi, and Rabbeinu Yonah, the answer is: "not necessarily." There's a good chance we'll continue our discussion of this pasuk and its underlying methodology tomorrow.

This morning's Mishlei shiur (10/22/20 at YBT) was a doozy. After summarizing yesterday's findings, reading the Rabbeinu Yonah, and attempting some approaches, we ended up caving and just reading my four-sentence summary from when I prepared this idea over the summer. Don't get me wrong - the idea was a good one, but we just didn't figure it out on our own. Note: this was the first Mishlei shiur in which we introduced the distinction between a Mishleic chacham and a Mishleic tzadik.

This morning's Mishlei shiur (10/21/20 at YBT) was a little different. This is a very difficult pasuk for a number of reasons. After struggling to come up with an approach, we decided to check out the meforshim, just to get a sense of their approaches. We'll continue this tomorrow, and then try to come up with our own approach in light of theirs, or we'll choose one of their approaches to define.
We began our morning Mishlei shiur (10/20/20 at YBT) with a review of yesterday's explanation of Mishlei 18:9: גַּם מִתְרַפֶּה בִמְלַאכְתּוֹ אָח הוּא לְבַעַל מַשְׁחִית. Yesterday we ended off with a question on the Rabbeinu Yonah and today we ended up getting not one, but two ideas on the Rabbeinu Yonah. We then did a brief methodology exploration of whether it is "legit" to interpret juxtapositions in Mishlei, and we concluded by translating and raising questions on Mishlei 18:10.

In our Monday Night Community Mishlei shiur (10/19/20 with Lomdeha, hosted by YBT) we learned Mishlei 10:1: מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה: בֵּן חָכָם יְשַׂמַּח אָב וּבֵן כְּסִיל תּוּגַת אִמּוֹ. Not only did we come up with two (maybe three?) ideas, but we covered a LOT of Mishlei methodology along the way. If you're looking for a way to get into Mishlei, this first session of our Monday Night Community Mishlei shiur is a great place to start!

In this morning's Mishlei shiur (10/19/20 at YBT) we reviewed Mishlei 18:8, and then moved on to Mishlei 18:9: גַּם מִתְרַפֶּה בִמְלַאכְתּוֹ אָח הוּא לְבַעַל מַשְׁחִית. We came up with our own explanation, which was reflected in the Metzudas David (albeit in reference to a far more specific realm). We concluded with the Rabbeinu Yonah, who took a slightly different approach, and we ended off with a question for tomorrow.

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.

Morning Mishlei shiur given at YBT (10/14/20) on Mishlei 18:8, after reviewing Mishlei 18:7. This one required some INTENSE translation-work. As a result, we only got through the translation and the questions. Analysis and answers will follow tomorrow.

Well, the PLAN for this morning's Mishlei shiur (given at YBT on 10/2/20) was to learn Mishlei 18:7. However, right before shiur I had an insight triggered by the shocking news this morning that President Trump and the First Lady have been diagnosed with COVID-19. That insight ended up dictating the course of the shiur which spanned a number of important topics, including:
- Rabbeinu Yonah's definition of a pesi
- Rabbeinu Yonah's definition of a ksil
- Rabbeinu Yonah's view on who Mishlei's intended audience is and why
- my understanding of "nashim daatan kalos aleihen"
- Rabbeinu Yonah's definitions of mevin vs. navon
- how getting COVID-19 might be the one way to change the President's mind about how the pandemic is handled
Note: we experience technical difficulties at 23:07 which end at 26:50. I'll edit these out, but YouTube will take hours to process the editing.

This morning (10/1/20 at YBT) we reviewed all of the pesukim we've covered thus far, spanning 18:1-6. We clarified some ideas, sharpened others, and revised others. I also discussed my "4-sentence summary" procedure for reviewing and keeping a record of Mishlei.
Here are the links to the shiurim for each of those pesukim:

Morning Mishlei shiur given at YBT (9/29/20) on Mishlei 18:1. This pasuk was a DOOZY! I believe it ranks among the most difficult-to-translate pesukim in the entire sefer, which is why we skipped it at the beginning of the series. You'll quickly see why I chose to skip this and come back to it. I didn't want people's first exposure to Mishlei to be something this arduous!

This Mishlei shiur was given at YBT on 9/22/20. After reviewing Mishlei 18:4 and going over an additional original interpretation, we learned Mishlei 18:5 in accordance with the interpretations given by Metzudas David and Saadia Gaon.

After providing an overview of Mishlei's title, structure, audience, and stated purposes, we delve into Saadia Gaon's introduction, in which he states his theory that Mishlei is a guide for how to maximize pleasure and minimize pain in everyday life.
