Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 11 minutesSynopsis: This evening (12/17/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began with a quick review, then made it our mission to learn through the entire commentary of the Radak. Thankfully, he states his main idea at the very beginning, so we were able to see how he develops it in his commentary on each pasuk. We went a bit overtime so that we could finish it, and although we didn't quite manage to tie it together in a neat package this time, we DID come away with an insight about the relationship of this perek to Chanukah. Next time (בג"ה), we'll attempt to refine and polish our insights, and "land the plane."-----מקורות:תהלים לרד"קמגילת תענית כג:גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר עבודה, הלכות תמידין ומוספין ג:יגhttps://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/why-do-jews-wear-yarmulkes-----SPECIAL CHANUKAH DISCOUNT: For the eight days of Chanukah, I'm offering 50% off my paid Substack subscription, just $5 per month.

I knew we'd arrive at some solid ideas; the question was whether we'd see any NEW insights. I'm pleased to report that we did! We developed a few approaches of our own and learned some excellent ideas from the meforshim, including a side-idea on the parashah from R. Avraham ben ha'Rambam! As usual, all the ideas we learned were practical, and accompanied by real-world examples. We might even gain some more insight next week, since many meforshim learn 17:10-11 as a pair.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 57 minutesSynopsis: This evening (12/11/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we learned one of my favorite Rambam passages of all time: his mini-discourse on friendship. I can honestly say that this was the most comprehensive shiur I've ever given on the topic. We took the mishnah, raised every question we could, then read the Rambam, raised every question we could on that, and then answered all of them. I mentioned in shiur that the first time I learned this Rambam, it permanently shaped how I think about all relationships, and that each time I revisit it, I walk away with a clearer understanding. Tonight's shiur proved that once again.-----מקורות:אבות א:ו; ה:טזרמב"םר' יצחק שילת - ביאור לפירוש רמב"ם למשנה-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in memory of her grandpa, Izrail Kaplan (a”h), who never forgot to look up above and appreciate another day.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Although we answered all the questions we initially asked, there are some outstanding difficulties that remain to be solved. Next on the agenda is Eliphaz's first speech, in which he attempts to prove Iyov wrong.-----מקורות:איוב א:יג - סוף פרק גמלבי"ם - הקדמה לפרק ג; ג:כדרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:טז Lenn E.

Since Chanukah is right around the corner, we took up the Shir shel Yom of Chanukah, which many people also recite every day. The translation took a bit more effort, so we didn't have a ton of time to develop our theories. Still, we had a nice start and there are already some interesting approaches brewing.-----מקורות:תהלים צחרמב"ם - פירוש המשניות, חגיגה ב:א-----This week's Torah content is sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in memory of her grandpa, Izrail Kaplan (a”h), who never forgot to look up above and appreciate another day.-----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

From there we took up a Vayishlach/Iyov side-quest, examining the midrash that Iyov's wife was Dinah, a midrash for which I have found zero explanations. After that, we continued reading the sefer through the end of Iyov's “post-breakdown monologue” in Chapter 3, and we concluded by raising some of the most urgent questions. Next time (בג"ה), we will analyze Iyov's monologue in an effort to ascertain his beliefs.-----מקורות:איוב א:יג - סוף פרק גתרגום כתובים - איוב ב:ט-יבבא בתרא דף טו עמוד במהרש"א חידשוי אגדות שםתורה תמימה - בראשית לד:ז, הערה 5מצודת דוד - איוב לא:ב-----If you'd like to sponsor my Torah content, please let me know!

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hourSynopsis: This evening (12/3/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we experienced a small miracle: we learned an entire perek in one sitting! It helped that this chapter clearly builds on the previous two, although that created its own challenge. This one was so similar to the last two that the similarities made our work both easier and harder. By zeroing in on the differences, the main idea emerged, and it ended up beautifully and poetically capping off the trilogy. I am sure there is more to say, but I think we did it justice and are ready to move on to the next chapter next time.-----מקורות:תהלים צחתהלים צו-צזתרגום ופירוש רס"גמצודת דודמאיריתהלים צא:טורמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות מלכים ומלחמות יב:ד-ה----------If you'd like to sponsor my Torah content, please let me know!

We then read through the remainder of the narrative about Iyov's suffering, using Malbim's commentary as our guide. Next time (בג"ה) we'll examine Iyov's reactions in greater depth, then read his monologue after his breakdown.-----מקורות:רמב"ם - פירוש המשניות: סנהדרין, הקדמה לפרק חלקאני מאמיןאיוב א:יג - ב:יגמלבי"ם-----This week's Torah content, for the week of Thanksgiving, is sponsored by me with gratitude to all my readers, viewers, and listeners — and most of all, my students.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 27 minutesSynopsis: This morning (11/14/25), in our Friday morning Machshavah Lab series for women, we continued learning through the prologue of Iyov (1:1 - 3:1). We began with a question of Iyov Methodology: Which commentaries would I recommend? This led to another important tangent (the second in three sessions!) about the ikkarim (fundamentals of Judaism). I'm particularly interested in what people think about what was said. We then read through Iyov 1:6-12 at a more leisurely pace than our quick overview last time, and we concluded by reading the Malbim's and Rambam's prefaces, explaining why I will NOT be decoding the allegory of the satan until a few months from now. The plan for next time is to go over the peshat of the remainder of the prologue, which we'll analyze in the session after that.-----מקורות:איוב א:א-יברמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות עבודה זרה וחוקות הגוים ב:א-גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ב:ו-זמלבי"ם - איוב א:ארש"י - איוב א:ארמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:כב-----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.

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.

I don't know about you, but whenever I've read this one in the past, it's kinda felt more or less like a repetition of the previous one. Well, NOT ANYMORE! Even our initial analysis opened my eyes to patterns and themes I had never seen in the perek. It seems like this one is VERY tightly connected to the previous one, so our analysis ended up being built on what we learned over the past three weeks.

I call "straight-up advice." No mashalim, no cryptic wording, no riddles - just proverbs telling you what to do and why. My question going into this was whether there would be any correlation between the style of presentation and the quality or depth of the ideas. Judging by this morning's analysis, the answer seems to be in the negative. We had just as many questions here as we usually do, and the ideas we developed felt completely Mishleic.

Thankfully, this version turned out far better! We managed to explain the entire perek and address all four of our major Tehilim methodology questions. Although we won't get to go through the perek with one of the meforshim this time (since I'd like to move on next week), I'm glad things unfolded the way they did.-----מקורות:תהלים צומאירי - תהלים צו:ארד"ק - תהלים צו:יארמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות מלכים ומלחמות יא:א,דרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר אהבה, הלכות ברכות י:כו-----If you're interested in sponsoring my Torah content for one or more weeks this month, please let me know!

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 17 minutesSynopsis: This morning (10/31/25), in our Friday morning Machshavah Lab series for women, we began our unit on what I call the Prologue to Sefer Iyov (1:1 - 3:1). The initial plan was to have a brief introduction, then read and translate the entire Prologue, then analyze 1:1-5. Instead, our intro led to a rant (on my part) about the Rambam's 13 ikkarim, as misunderstood by anti-Maimonideans and hyper-Maimonideans alike. I thought it was a productive discussion (many thanks to Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman), but as a result, only managed to read and raise questions on Iyov 1:1-5. Next time (בג"ה) we'll analyze that passage then continue with the Prologue.-----מקורות:איוב א:א-הRabbi Dr. Joshua Berman, "Ani Maamin" (pp.191-195)רמב"ם - פירוש המשניות: סנהדרין, הקדמה לפרק חלק-----The Torah content for the remainder of October is sponsored by Yael Weiss in honor of her parents, and in celebration of her father's birthday (September 25 / 17 Tishrei).  -----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 2 hours 6 minutesSynopsis: The halachah states: “One who davens must have kavanah during all the berachos, but if one is unable to have kavanah in all of them, one should at least have kavanah in Avos” (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim 101:1). Last year, in my Machshavah Lab tefilah shiurim for women, I gave an eleven-part series aimed at elucidating each word of the berachah of Avos based on the classical meforshim (1/3/25–5/16/25). This morning (10/26/25), as a YBT Sunday shiur, I condensed all eleven parts into a single session.If you're looking for a shiur that will help you cultivate kavanah in every word, this is the one for you! And if you're interested in an in-depth analysis of all the sources referenced here (and more), check out the original eleven-part series.-----מקורות:משנה ברורה - שולחן ערוך או"ח קא:אטור - או"ח ה:א; קיג:טרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים א:נג, סא; ג:יח; נגאבודרהם - ברכות השחררבינו בחיי בן אשר - כד הקמח: ברכהספר העיקרים ב:כוספר החינוך - עקב: מצוה ת"לרשב"א - שו"ת ה:נברבינו בחיי בן אשר - שולחן של ארבעמחזור ויטרי סימן פחרש"י - דברים ו:דעץ יוסף - אבותספורנו - דברים י:יזרמב"ן - בראשית יד:יחאבודרהם - אבותאבן עזרא - ישעיהו סג:זספורנו - בראשית יד:יטאברבנאל - בראשית יד:יז-כרלב"ג - במדבר י:ט-יGoldmintz – The Rav on Tefillah: An Anthology of Teachings by Rabbi Joseph B.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 40 minutesSynopsis: This morning (10/23/25), in lieu of our usual morning Mishlei, we had a Q&A session! We discussed the following three questions: (1) According to the Rambam, if Olam ha'Ba is non-physical, and if our desires only relate to physical enjoyments, how can we desire Olam ha'Ba? (2) What do we mean in the short vidui when we say ti'ta'nu, which some translate as "You have let us go astray"? (3) Should every person strive to attain the "Crown of Torah"? In going over these answers, I also shared my answer to the question of why the Written Torah doesn't mention Olam ha'Ba, as well as an insight I had into Kayin's sin. -----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ח:א,ו-ז; י:א-ברמב"ם - פירוש המשניות: הקדמה לפרק חלקקהלת ג:יט-כאעץ יוסף - וידויתנחומא - נח יטרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תלמוד תורה ג:א,ו-----The Torah content for the remainder of October is sponsored by Yael Weiss in honor of her parents, and in celebration of her father's birthday (September 25 / 17 Tishrei).  -----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 2 minutesSynopsis: This evening (10/22/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we began the next perek in our "Tehilim we say at Kabbalas Shabbos" series. This one was very ... "Tehilimmy"! As usual, we spent the bulk of the first session translating the perek with all its nuances. I couldn't help but add my commentary as to why this part of the process is so important. We then began our analysis and identified some of the major themes, questions, and problems. Next time (בג"ה), we'll venture a theory of the perek! -----מקורות:תהלים צהמצודת דודבראשית ד:ג-דתרגום אונקלוס - שמות טו:א-----The Torah content for the remainder of October is sponsored by Yael Weiss in honor of her parents, and in celebration of her father's birthday (September 25 / 17 Tishrei).  -----If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider contributing to my Patreon at www.patreon.com/rabbischneeweiss.
