Mishlei 25:11 - Golden "Apples" in Silver Latticework (Part 1)

תַּפּוּחֵי זָהָב בְּמַשְׂכִּיּוֹת כָּסֶף דָּבָר דָּבֻר עַל אׇפְנָיו

Length: 4 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (12/10/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began analyzing what is arguably one of the most important pesukim in Mishlei - at least, according to the Rambam. I've referenced this pasuk dozens of times but haven't yet given a shiur on it. This morning, after a more-extensive-than-usual deep-dive into translation, we began our analysis. We came up with two distinct approaches and didn't even get to the meforshim. Due to the importance of this pasuk, we will likely devote more than one session to it.
