Podcasts about Meiri

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 1 minuteSynopsis: This evening (6/17/26), in our last Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of the season, we took another pass at our perek. After reviewing the text, the questions and problems, and our approaches from last time. We then learned through the Meiri's first approach and the Radak's commentary, providing us with two interpretations of the perek. We developed them a bit and attempted to understand this perek's relationship with the previous one. Did we succeed? Somewhat. While we now have a working understanding - well, TWO working understandings - of the perek, and each pasuk, I don't think anyone felt like we really cracked it. There wasn't the satisfying, "Aha!" that we often feel at the end of our learning. Oh well. That just means we get to come back for another attempt in the future, God willing! In my opinion, this was a great year of Tehilim-learning! I enjoyed spending nearly the entire year within the same set of perakim. I'm excited to revisit this in an attempt to grasp the big picture, now that we have nearly all the pieces.-----מקורות:תהלים צגמאירירד"קבראשית א:א-טתרגום אונקלוס - שמות טו:אירמיהו טז:יד-טותרגום רס"ג - הערות הרב קאפח-----The Torah Content for this month is currently without a sponsor.

After reviewing and refining our understanding of yesterday's main peshat, we spent most of the rest of shiur on Saadia Gaon. This led us into a related-but-also-tangential discussion about methodology, some of which was not recorded. We concluded with the Meiri, which included more methodological reflections about teaching.And with that, we have finished Chapter 25!

We learned through his first derech nistar approach in-depth, which was fantastic, then read through his second one and set it aside because it more-or-less follows the Rambam we plan to do tomorrow, and then we learned through his treatment of the "sugya" of honey in Mishlei - a masterful analysis of the three seemingly contradictory pesukim about honey in chapters 24-25. This, too, was very much in line with the Rambam's approach, which makes me even more excited to take it up tomorrow!

Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 1 minuteSynopsis: This evening (5/27/26), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began by reviewing the text and our questions. We then spent the rest of shiur learning the Radak's commentary on the first six pesukim, with forays into the Meiri, Rambam, and R' Avraham ben ha'Rambam. I COULD have rushed in order to finish the perek today, but there were so many delicious ideas in the Radak's commentary that I wanted to savor. Our goal next time will be to learn through his commentary on the second half, and then arrive at a unified understanding.-----מקורות:תהלים צברד"קמאירירד"ק - בראשית ב:גנוסח אשכנז - ברכת יוצר של שבתרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה י:גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה הקדמה; ד:יא-יגר' אברהם בן הרמב"ם - המספיק לעובדי השם-----The Torah content for this month has been sponsored by Meir Areman, l'zeicher nishmas Zelda bas Ziesel, his grandmother, whose yahrzeit is on the 21st of Sivan.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider supporting my work via Patreon, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal — links below.

Not only were all the ideas we learned good and practical, but this also provided excellent support for my approach to the Meiri's nigleh/nistar style.

We came up with several approaches on our own, then learned the commentaries of Metzudas David, Rabbeinu Yonah, and the Meiri — even taking a brief foray into Rashi for a practical idea that is relevant for all those who aspire to chochmah!

Í nóvember voru 10 ár síðan fyrsta sérsniðna dagskráin fyrir fólk með alzheimer var búin til fyrir Listasafn Íslands undir merkjum rannsóknarverkefnisins „Listir og menning sem meðferð“. Halldóra Arnardóttir listfræðingur er nýkomin frá heimsókn í MoMA safnið í New York þangað sem hún var boðin í tilefni þess að 20 ár eru liðin frá stofnun dagskrár fyrir fólk með Alzheimer og aðstandendur þeirra. Við ræddum við Halldóru, Jón Snædal öldrunarlækni og Ingibjörgu Jóhannsdóttur forstöðukonu hjá Listasafni Íslands í þættinum í dag. Svo fræddumst við um Öðruvísi jóladagatal sem SOS Barnaþorpin bjóða upp á þar sem íslensk börn eru frædd um jafnaldra þeirra í öðrum löndum og hvernig aðstæður þeirra eru frábrugðnar okkar. Við fengum Hjördísi Rós Jónsdóttur, fræðslufulltrúa SOS Barnaþorpa til að segja okkur betur frá dagatalinu í dag. Og svo var það veðurspjallið með Einari Sveinbjörnssyni en í dag fjallaði hann um þræsing og bakflæði í veðrinu. Svo var það langtímaspáin og jólaveðrið, er of snemmt að segja eitthvað um það? Og að lokum var það spurningin um endanlegan árshita í Stykkishólmi, þar sem er yfir 180 ára mælingasaga, munu hitamet falla? Einar sagði okkur allt um þetta í dag.

Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 29 minutesSynopsis: This evening (11/13/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we continued with the clause we worked on last time. We spent the first part of shiur reviewing everything we covered last time, answering the questions we left off with and sharpening some of the insights we had. Then we moved on to the Meiri, who gave us several different interpretations of the first two clauses of the mishnah. We read and discussed all of them but one, and were intrigued by how different of an approach he took. There remains at least one more idea in the Meiri. We'll see where we go after that.-----מקורות:אבות ד:טזרש"ירמב"םרבינו יונהרמב"ם - משנה תורה: הקדמהרש"י - קהלת יב:י-יבמאירי-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Joey and Estee Lichter in commemoration of the yahrzeits of Joey's mother, Faiga bas Yehuda, and Estee's father, Yisroel ben R' Moshe.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

The Gemara in Masechet Ta'anit (29b) states that if a Jew has a court case against a gentile, he should try to avoid scheduling the case for the month of Ab, which is a time when our nation's "Mazal" ("luck") is compromised. He should instead try to schedule the hearing for the joyous month of Adar, which is a time of good "Mazal" for the Jewish Nation. A number of commentators raised the question of how to reconcile this teaching with the rule famously established by the Gemara elsewhere, in Masechet Shabbat (156a), "En Mazal Le'Yisrael" – the Jewish Nation is not governed by the forces of "Mazal" that affect the rest of the world. If, indeed, three is no such thing as "Mazal" as far as Am Yisrael is concerned, then why are we told that we have good "Mazal" during Adar and poor "Mazal" during Ab? The Ritba (Rav Yom Tob of Seville, Spain, 1250-1330) answers that Adar and Ab are exceptions to the rule. Although the Jewish Nation is generally not subject to the forces of "Mazal," Hashem decreed that these influences indeed affect us during these two months. Alternatively, the Ritba suggests, the Jewish People are indeed not influenced at all by "Mazal" at any time, and the Gemara in Ta'anit borrows the term "Mazal" to refer to Hashem's governance of His nation during the months of Adar and Ab. During Adar, He deals with us more graciously and compassionately, whereas in Ab, He deals with us more strictly and exactingly, and this is the Gemara's intent when it speaks of the "Mazal" during these months. A different answer was offered in light of Tosafot's comments to the Gemara's teaching "En Mazal Le'Yisrael." Tosafot explain that indeed, we, like all people on earth, are subject to the powers of "Mazal," but we have the ability to negate these forces through the merits of our Misvot. Accordingly, the Gemara in Maseches Ta'anit might be understood to mean that we require additional merits to overcome the harsh "Mazal" of the month of Ab. We are never helplessly at the mercy of "Mazal," as we always have the ability to earn Hashem's favor through out merits irrespective of our "Mazal," but during the month of Ab this is somewhat more difficult. In conclusion, it is worth noting the Gemara's startling comment in Masechet Mo'ed Katan (28a) that a person's lifespan, his ability to beget children, and his livelihood depend not on his merits, but rather on "Mazal." This seems to explicitly contradict the aforementioned rule of "En Mazal Le'Yisrael." In truth, however, Rav Menahem Meiri (Provence, 1249-1315) comments that the Gemara's statement in Mo'ed Katan reflects a minority view among the Sages, and has been resoundingly rejected. Therefore, the Meiri writes, one should never cease praying for everything he needs and wants, because our merits and G-d's mercy can overcome any "Mazal." Hacham Ovadia Yosef noted that the Rambam similarly followed this view, firmly stating that we are not affected at all by the forces of astrology. This is the position taken by many other Rabbis, as well. Until when specifically should a person delay his court hearing? The Magen Abraham (Rav Abraham Gombiner, Poland, 1635-1682) writes (551:1) in the name of Rabbenu Yeruham (Provence, 1290-1350) that one should delay the hearing until the onset of the month of Elul. According to this view, the inauspicious quality of the month of Ab extends throughout the entire month. By contrast, Rav Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev (1740-1809), in his work Kedushat Levi (Parashat Va'et'hanan) writes that the Gemara refers only to the first half of the month. Starting from the 15 th of Ab – Tu B'Av, which is a festive day – the remainder of the month is not considered inauspicious. Accordingly, some have ruled that already from Tu B'Ab there is no concern going to court. An allusion to this concept is the configuration of the divine Name associated with this month. The Kabbalists teach that the four letters that comprise the Name of "Havaya" (spelled Yod, Heh, Vav and Heh) can be arranged in twelve different sequences, and each sequence is associated with a different month. The month of Tammuz is associated with the reverse spelling – Heh, Vav, Heh and Yod – and this month is thus a month of calamity. The month of Ab is associated with the spelling Heh, Vav, Yod and Heh – with the first two letters reversed, and the second two letters in proper sequence. This alludes to the fact that the first half of the month of Ab is one of misfortune and tragedy, but the second half – starting from Tu B'Ab – is joyous. Hacham Ovadia Yosef, in Hazon Ovadia (p. 166), follows a third view, based on a passage in the Zohar (Yitro, 78b) stating that Esav took control of the month of Tammuz and the first nine days of the month of Ab. According to the Zohar, it seems, it is only through Tisha B'Ab that one should avoid a court hearing against a gentile, but already from the 10 th of Ab there is no concern. This is, indeed, the view of the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in Parashat Debarim, 1). Summary: The Gemara teaches that a person who has a court case against a gentile should try to avoid scheduling the hearing for the month of Ab, which is a time of bad "Mazal." The commentators clarified that this does not mean we are helplessly subject to the forces of astrology and the like. We are always able to earn G-d's favor and compassion through prayer and good deeds, but in the month of Ab He deals with us somewhat more harshly, making it more difficult to earn His kindness. Different views exist as to when specifically one should avoid going to court. Hacham Ovadia Yosef rules that the concern is only through Tisha B'Ab; starting already on the 10 th of the Ab, one may go to court without any worry.

After a quick review and some elaboration on Saadia Gaon, I shared my interpretation, which we examined through three sources: (1) Meiri's commentary on Mishlei 10:3, (2) the chapter of Moreh ha'Nevuchim that Rambam considered most important to pay attention to, and (3) the commentary of R' Sheishes ben Yitzchak Gerondi on our pasuk. As usual, we covered some fundamental methodological points along the way and (I hope) walked away with a few eminently practical ideas.-----מקורות:משלי טז:ארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות דעות ב:דמאירי - משלי י:גרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ב:מחר' ששת בן יצחק גרונדיאבות ב:ד-----With gratitude to Hashem, I'm pleased to announce that I am officially listed as a teacher on YUTorah!

(Yes, I skipped 4:12, in case you were wondering.) This mishnah is quite short, and . We spent the bulk of the time comparing Rabbeinu Yonah's more intuitive reading with Rashi's highly specific reading. I attempted to convey a theory about Rashi which I realize might not be persuasive. Curious to hear what you think! We also spent a little time on the Meiri and Rashbatz.

Dr. Dedi Meiri is an Associate Professor at the Technion Institute where he heads the Laboratory of Cancer Biology and Cannabinoid Research. The lab investigates the vast therapeutic potential of secondary metabolites from cannabis and other herbs, algae, and psychedelic mushrooms; and reveals how these naturally occurring metabolites affect various types of cancer, inflammatory diseases, and disorders of the nervous system Dr. Meiri is also highly involved in governmental regulations and is a residing member in several Israeli Ministry of Health committees that seek to advance the fundamental understanding of optimal cannabis and other psychedelic plant usage and curtailing adverse effects. At CannMed 25, Dedi will present "Cannabis as a Therapy Across Diverse Cancer Types: Milestones and Insights from a Decade of Research", which will discuss his lab's work investigating whether Cannabis can serve as a primary pharmaceutical treatment for cancer. We discuss: The wide range of clinical applications for cannabis medicine, including cancer, epilepsy, sleep disorders, Alzheimer's, and women's health issues like endometriosis. How cannabis' entourage effect challenges the traditional one-drug-one-target model. How many powerful cannabinoids are overlooked by standard lab testing methods—even though they exist in significant quantities and show therapeutic potential. Israel's Medical Cannabis Model, which treats cannabis like a pharmaceutical, with prescriptions, clinical oversight, and growing physician acceptance. The goal is to provide evidence-based, accurate treatments that tailor cannabis therapies to specific health conditions and individual needs.

The Gemara tells us, one of the areas we constantly need chizuk in is tefila . No matter how good a person's tefilot are, over time they tend to become more habitual and therefore could definitely use chizuk . The Meiri writes that a person should always feel confident in the power of a good tefila to break a decree and if someone is going through a tough time, or has a family member that is ill, he should go to a chacham and ask him for advice on how to have a good tefila . What is a good tefila ? Obviously one with emotion and tears and obviously one with kavana . But there is another very important factor that could make the tefila truly great. When Rachel Imenu saw that she was barren for many years, she told Yaakov to do something to ensure that she will have a child. The Ramban explains, Rachel was asking Yaakov to pray, thinking that the tefilot of a tzaddik like Yaakov would for sure be answered, especially if he puts all of his efforts into it. But Yaakov replied, there is no guarantee that his tefilot would ensure that she'll have a child. Then, says the Ramban, when the tzadeket Rachel saw that she couldn't even rely on the tefilot of Yaakov who was the Gadol HaDor , that's when she prayed with all of her heart and soul, realizing she had to go straight to Hashem because He was the only One who could help her. Then, וישמע אליה אלוקים – that is when Hashem answered her tefila and that is when she finally had a child. The best prayer is one in which the person realizes Who he is standing in front of and what His capabilities are. This is one of the reasons why we start the Amida with praise, so we realize who Hashem is, and only then do we make our requests. We all know that only Hashem could help us, but from time to time, we need to be reminded of it so that it is at the forefront of our minds. I read a story about a couple from Israel who did not have children for many years. They went to a lot of doctors and none were able to help. One day, the man was telling his friend he didn't know what else he could possibly do to be helped. His friend said to him, he heard there's a top doctor in America who has helped many couples with cases that seemed hopeless. People fly from all over the world to see him. He suggested trying to get an appointment with that doctor. They took his advice and traveled to America and consulted with that doctor, who raised his hands helplessly saying he didn't know what to do to help them. There was one more highly recommended doctor there, but his fees were exorbitant. The couple decided they had to try and they waited there for weeks to finally see him. That doctor analyzed their case for a very long time. He did his own testing and finally concluded by saying, "I don't see any problems at all with you. I can't explain why you are not having children, but I do see that you are religious Jews. Pray to your G-d. Only He could help you." When they heard those words from the top doctor in the field, they took on new meaning to them. From then on, they spent every tefila crying buckets of tears, understanding who they were actually talking to and, within a year, they were blessed with a baby boy. There is nothing that can take the place of a good tefila .

Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 31 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (9/26/24), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up the next mishnah in the fourth chapter, where we left off in June. This one certainly struck us as odd, speaking of Torah almost like a voodoo doll. We raised a ton of questions and successfully learned two approaches from three meforshim (Rashi, Rambam, and Meiri), which answered all our questions. We also attempted to learn Rabbeinu Yonah but couldn't quite resolve it. We didn't get to the Maharal, but if you're learning this on your own, be sure to check him out!

Rætt er við Baldvin Má Hermannsson forstjóra Air Atlanta um starfsemi fyrirtækisins og hvernig það hefur vaxið og dafnað á allra síðustu árum. Flugfélagið var eitt fárra sem var á fullu í covid faraldrinum og á undraskömmum tíma tókst að auka vægi fraktflugs mjög hratt þegar botninn datt úr farþegafluginu. Atlanta er í dag með 11 Boeing 747 breiðþotur í fraktflutningum um allan heim og að auki 6 Boeing 777 vélar í farþegaflutningum. Baldvin Már ræðir hér hvernig félagið hefur oft mætt erfiðri samkeppni í gegnum tíðina og hvernig íslensk þekking, reynsla og gæði í flugrekstri hefur fleytt félaginu á þann stað sem það er á í dag.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 39 minutesSynopsis: Last night (9/5/24), in our first Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women of the 2024-2025, we took up a tefilah-related Mishnah from chapter 2, since I've been in tefilah mode all summer and I wanted to share some ideas. If you're looking for an eye-opening perspective on tefilah filled with potential, be sure to listen all the way to the end of the shiur, when we learn the Meiri's interpretation. We picked up lots of other nice insights along away, from the participants in shiur and from the meforshim.-----מקורות:אבות ב:יגרמב"םרבינו יונהמאירירמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות קריאת שמע א:יארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות תפילה וברכת כהנים ג:א-----The Torah content for the first month of the new school year has been sponsored by the Brevique BrewLid.
