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!

Mishlei 14:35 - How to Be a Successful Subordinate (Part 2)

רְצוֹן מֶלֶךְ לְעֶבֶד מַשְׂכִּיל, וְעֶבְרָתוֹ תִּהְיֶה מֵבִישׁ:

Length: 48 minutes
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!

Length: 48 minutes
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.

Mishlei 14:34 - Mishlei on National Tzedakah and Chesed (Part 1)

צְדָקָה תְרוֹמֵם גּוֹי וְחֶסֶד לְאֻמִּים חַטָּאת:

Length: 46 minutes
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.

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!
