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.
