Mishlei 25:8 - Don't Be Quick to Quarrel, Or Else (Part 1)

אַל תֵּצֵא לָרִב מַהֵר פֶּן מַה תַּעֲשֶׂה בְּאַחֲרִיתָהּ בְּהַכְלִים אֹתְךָ רֵעֶךָ:

Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/20/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned another "straight-up advice" pasuk (the genre that seems to pick up in frequency in the final book of Mishlei). Once again, we were pleasantly surprised by how much analysis the pasuk leant itself to, despite being so straightforward. We came up with two approaches today, and I look forward to exploring the meforshim tomorrow (בג"ה).

Mishlei 17:7 - Societal Standing and Speech Incongruity

עֲטֶרֶת זְקֵנִים בְּנֵי בָנִים וְתִפְאֶרֶת בָּנִים אֲבוֹתָם:

Length: 1 hour 41 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (11/17/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned a pasuk with distinct translation crossroads. We came up with several nice approaches on our own, then turned to the meforshim who provided us with refreshingly different approaches! All the ideas were practical, and some in a high-stakes way. Great learning as always, even though we were missing some of our usual crew.

Mishlei 25:6-7 - Self-Destructive Self-Promotion (Part 2)

(ו) אַל תִּתְהַדַּר לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ וּבִמְקוֹם גְּדֹלִים אַל תַּעֲמֹד.(ז) כִּי טוֹב אֲמׇר לְךָ עֲלֵה הֵנָּה מֵהַשְׁפִּילְךָ לִפְנֵי נָדִיב אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ:

Length: 29 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/13/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we continued our analysis of yesterday's pesukim. After a quick review, we learned through four commentaries. Some of these contributed minor nuances whereas others yielded entirely new approaches. I wish we had more time for even more meforshim, but such are the limitations of my typical Thursday schedule this year.
