The Mishlei Podcast

By: Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss
  • Summary

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

    בְּאוֹר פְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ חַיִּים, וּרְצוֹנוֹ כְּעָב מַלְקוֹשׁ:

    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!

    The Torah content for the remainder of November has been sponsored by Ed Zack. When I asked him for a sponsorship message, he replied, "MAGA." While I appreciate the support, I told him I'd prefer to keep things less politically divisive. After some discussion, we settled on something we can all agree with: Make America Think Again.

    Mishlei 15:8 - Tefilah and Korbanos in Mishlei?! (Part 1)

    זֶבַח רְשָׁעִים תּוֹעֲבַת י"י וּתְפִלַּת יְשָׁרִים רְצוֹנוֹ:

    Length: 46 minutes
    Synopsis: This morning (11/13/24), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began working on a pasuk which looks like it belongs in Tehilim or the Neviim more than 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.

    This week’s Torah content has been sponsored by Yael Weiss. I forgot to ask her for a dedication message in advance, but in the meantime, I’ll dedicate this Torah content to the entire Weiss family: Rabbi and Sara, Yael and Esti, Eli and Benji, with a special shout-out to Rabbi Weiss Sr. Thank you for supporting what I do and for being part of my learning life, each in your own way!
