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!

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!-----מקורות:משלי יז:ידמצודת ציון/דודתרגום/פירוש רס"גרבינו יונהעמנואל הרומי-----The Torah content for the month of January is sponsored by Naomi Schwartz in memory of her father, Dovid Yitzchok ben Chaim Yeruchum Fishel z”l, who dedicated his life to learning and teaching Torah to countless students b’simcha.
