The Mishlei PodcastAuthor: 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!

(Part 2)מַעֲדֶה בֶּגֶד בְּיוֹם קָרָה חֹמֶץ עַל נָתֶר וְשָׁר בַּשִּׁרִים עַל לֶב רָע:Length: 43 minutesSynopsis: 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!---מקורות:משלי כה:כרש"יאבן כספי פירוש בפירוש רס"גרמב"ם - פירוש המשניות ב:ידסנהדרין דף לח עמוד במאירי-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Seth Speiser, in honor of the yahrzeit of his father, Rabbi George Speiser (Rav Yosef ben Dovid). Rabbi Speiser was a kind and gentle soul as well as an Intellectual and a scholar. He received smicha from Rav Hutner at Chaim Berlin. His love for teaching and making puns was only outweighed by his love of family.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
