Send me a text!Mishlei 17:3 - The Crucible of the Heartמַצְרֵף לַכֶּסֶף וְכוּר לַזָּהָב וּבֹחֵן לִבּוֹת יְיָ:Length: 1 hour 31 minutesSynopsis: This evening (9/29/25), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we took up another pasuk that formed a core part of my high school curriculum. Like the past two weeks, this made me worried that we wouldn't discover any new ideas. And, like the last two weeks, I was pleasantly surprised! After raising 17 questions on the pasuk, we came up with four theories of our own, then learned three explanations from the meforshim. Many of these happened to be relevant to the period of Aseres Ymei Teshuvah and the upcoming Yom ha'Kippurim. So if you're looking for some Mishlei to get you ready for the ultimate "apex of atonement" (Rambam - Hilchos Teshuvah 2:6), be sure to check out this shiur!-----מקורות:משלי יז:גר' יוסף קמחימצודת ציוןרלב"גרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ג:א-במאירי-----The Torah Content for this week is sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in memory of Shira Malka (a”h) "who taught me that seeking knowledge of God is the greatest gift."The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 26 minutesSynopsis: This morning (9/26/25), in our Friday morning Machshavah Lab series for women, we concluded (I think?) the introductory portion of our Iyov shiurim by taking up the question of when and whether Iyov lived. We read through the ten plus opinions in the Gemara, raised questions on what Chazal were trying to do, and then tried to answer them with a speculative theory (since I haven't found any satisfactory answers in the traditional or modern commentaries). We then surveyed the views of three Rishonim on whether Sefer Iyov is an allegory. When we return after the Moadim (בג"ה), we'll begin learning the text itself! -----מקורות:בבא בתרא דף טו עמוד אתלמוד ירושלמי סוטה ה:ורמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים ג:כברלב"ג - הקדמה לאיובאבן עזרא - איוב ב:יאRobert Eisen, The Book of Job in Medieval Jewish Philosophy pp.114-117-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

After reviewing and refining what we came up with last time, we focused on Malbim and Rashi (!), who take this pasuk to be about metaphysics and other areas of Torah that ought to be concealed. We spent the rest of shiur developing these ideas, recruiting other non-Mishlei commentators like the Rambam and Ramban. It'll be interesting to see how "Mishleic" in their subject matter the pesukim in Chapter 25+ feel going forward. Either way, I'm sure the ideas will be good!---מקורות:משלי כה:א-בשד"למאיריר"י אבן כספי פירוש שנימצודת דוד - ישעיה יא:א-גמצודת דודאבן עזרא - קהלת ה:ארבינו בחיי אבן פקודה - חובות הלבבות א:ימלבי"םרמב"ם - פירוש המשניות ב:ארש"ירש"י - ויקרא יט:יטרמב"ן - ויקרא יט:יט-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

After briefly getting the peshat of the introductory 25:1, we analyzed 25:2, which is stylistically different from most of the Mishlei we've learned over the past 4+ years (as will be the case for the remainder of the sefer). We came up with a few half-baked approaches, one of which was solid. I shared my own intuition which ended up being supported by Metzudas David, and the other solid approach was similar to what the Ralbag said. I'm curious to see what we find in the other meforshim, but we'll have to wait until after Rosh ha'Shanah for that.---מקורות:משלי כה:א-בתרגום רס"גמצודת ציון/דודרלב"ג-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 43 minutesSynopsis: This evening (9/18/25), in our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we took up the first of two mishnayos in our perek about the relationship between Olam ha'Zeh and Olam ha'Ba. At first, we thought the mishnah was obvious. Then, after learning through four meforshim, we found ourselves with eight points that needed to be explained. Despite my coming to shiur with only a few answers, together we managed to come up with explanations for all eight points AND answer all our questions! If you're interested in a refreshing take on this topic, I have a feeling this will hit the spot.-----מקורות:אבות ד:טזרש"ירמב"םרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות תשובה ג:א-ב; ח:ב,ז; ט:א; י:ארמב"ם - שמונה פרקים: פרק במאיריספורנו-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

As usual, we started with a review of yesterday's findings, adding some points here and there for clarification. We then took another stab at elucidating Metzudas David, and although we gained greater clarity, we still didn't manage to figure him out. We then read a huge paradigm-proposing peirush from the Malbim which we attempted to work out. This led us to review one of my favorite passages in Saadia Gaon's introduction, which in turn, led to a discussion of what Mishlei is doing, how it's doing it, and what "mussar" and "tochachah" are in Malbim's lingo. Sadly, we didn't have time to complete our analysis of the Malbim. All in all, we had some great ideas, but no conclusions beyond yesterday's excellent ideas.---מקורות:משלי טו:לגתרגום ופירוש רס"גנוה לשוםמצודת דודמלבי"םרס"ג - הקדמה לספר משלי-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Send me a text!Length: 58 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (9/17/25), in our Wednesday night Tehilim shiur, we (read: I) realized that we're going to miss the next FOUR Wednesdays on account of the Moadim! Given that consideration, I decided to expedite our usual process and attempt to arrive at a main idea and practical takeaway TONIGHT instead of developing an approach with meforshim over the course of two sessions. Thankfully, I believe we succeeded! We may not have fully developed an understanding of every pasuk, but we definitely hit upon a fundamental idea that (I hope!) will have a beneficial impact on how we cultivate a relationship with Hashem. I know I'LL be thinking about these ideas over the upcoming Moadim! -----מקורות:תהלים צהאבן עזרא פירוש שני - תהלים צה:במצודת דוד - תהלים צה:בהואיל משה - תהלים צה:טמאירי - תהלים צה:אמלבי"ם - תהלים צה:אאברבנאל - שמות יז:א-ז-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Mishlei 15:33 - Mishlei's Definition of Yiras Hashem (Part 1)יִרְאַת יְיָ מוּסַר חׇכְמָה וְלִפְנֵי כָבוֹד עֲנָוָה: Length: 47 minutesSynopsis: This morning (9/17/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we learned what I consider to be one of the most important pesukim in Sefer Mishlei. If I had to name the subject of Sefer Mishlei, I'd say it's yiras Hashem (as indicated in 1:7), and our pasuk defines yiras Hashem according to Mishlei. In elucidating this, we also defined the levels of yirah below and above Mishlei. The main idea we came up with, reflected in Saadia Gaon, presents one of the best arguments for why we all need to learn Mishlei. We even came up with a second interpretation that provides a nice mechanism for taking what comes at you in life and turning it into a source of insight and benefit. Tomorrow (בג"ה) we'll delve into the meforshim. ---מקורות:משלי טו:לגתרגום ופירוש רס"גזרחיה חןתרגום כתוביםמשלי א:ז; לא:לרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר המדע, הלכות יסודי התורה ב:א-ב; ד:יבמצודת דוד-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 33 minutesSynopsis: This morning (9/12/25), in this year's first Friday morning Machshavah Lab shiur for women, we began our (hopefully) year-long series on Sefer Iyov! I began by recapping my prior experience with Iyov, but to my delight, this turned into a really great discussion about the various challenges of learning the sefer. We then attempted to list all the major questions that ought to asked about the sefer BEFORE learning it. The last half of shiur was spent on the question of authorship: who wrote Iyov, and what does that teach us about the sefer? We didn't quite finish answering that question, so that's where we'll pick up next time before moving on to the question of Iyov's chronology and historicity (or lack thereof). I can already tell this is gonna be a great year of learning!-----מקורות:Robert Eisen, "The Book of Job in Medieval Jewish Philosophy" (2004)בבא בתרא דף יד עמוד בשמות לג:יג-כברכות דף ז עמוד בזרחיה חן - הקדמה לספר איוב-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Send me a text!Length: 56 minutesSynopsis: Tonight (9/10/25), in our first Wednesday night Tehilim shiur of the 2025-2026 season, we began Tehilim 95, a.k.a. the first perek in Kabbalas Shabbos. I didn't choose it because of Kabbalas Shabbos (though it's always nice to learn perakim we're already somewhat familiar with), but because I noticed during Kabbalas Shabbos last week how many of the perakim deal with Malchus Hashem (God's Kingship). Since Rosh ha'Shanah is around the corner, I figured this might be a good perek to learn. As usual, our first session was devoted to translating the perek, identifying the "pivot point," then raising all the questions we saw. Next week (בג"ה) we'll attempt to develop a theory before delving into the meforshim.-----מקורות:תהלים צהשמות טו:כב-כז; יז:א-ז-----The Torah Content for the month of September is sponsored by Meir Areman in loving memory of his grandmother, Esther Chasha bas Meir Gedalya, who recently passed away on the 25th of Av.

Thankfully, we had a powerhouse crew tonight, consisting of longtime Mishlei students alongside new faces, and we managed to come up with nine original interpretations, plus two more from the meforshim. Suffice it to say, it was a good haul, and we learned both great ideas and core Mishlei methodology!

In fact, this mishnah seems to undermine Iyov in its entirety! Thankfully, Sforno came to the rescue with a lengthy but rich commentary that answered every single question we raised on the mishnah. Not only that, but we came away with a "meta idea" that will likely set the course for our entire learning of Sefer Iyov.

Two things to note: (1) Unlike most other Tishah b'Av shiurim I've given, I don't think there are any chidushim (novel insights). Instead, I decided to focus on the basics. (2) Towards the beginning of the shiur, we read dthrough the kinnah in Hebrew and English. Unfortunately, the person reading the English was sitting far away, and since I was recording on my phone, I don't know if it's audible.

Send me a text!Mishlei 16:1 - From Hashem is the Tongue's Reply (Part 1)לְאָדָם מַעַרְכֵי לֵב, וּמֵיְיָ מַעֲנֵה לָשׁוֹן:Length: 1 hour 2 minutesSynopsis: This afternoon (7/23/25), in an unexpected plot twist, I was asked to give a two-part SUMMER Mishlei shiur! I chose the one pasuk from Chapter 16 that we skipped this year. Since this was a special shiur with some Mishleic neophytes, I decided to be a bit more explicit about Mishlei methodology than usual. We began by translating the pasuk, raising all the questions, and then developing our own theories. One of those theories lined up with Saadia Gaon's commentary, so we pivoted to analyzing that instead. Tomorrow, after a quick review, I'll share my own interpretation and the meforshim who led me there.-----מקורות:משלי טז:אמצודת ציוןתרגום ופירוש רס"גתרגום כתוביםתרגום השבעיםתרגום אונקלוס - בראשית ב:זhttps://rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/p/the-five-types-of-dvar-torah-----With gratitude to Hashem, I'm pleased to announce that I am officially listed as a teacher on YUTorah!

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 1 hour 1 minutesSynopsis: This Wednesday evening (6/11/25), in our last Tehilim shiur of the 2024-2025 season, we ended up doing a chaotically orderly experimental Chumash exploration instead of Tehilim. If you've ever looked at English translations of the siddur, you may have noticed that the word "Ashrei" is translated differently by different people in different contexts. Tonight, we conducted a survey of the various sources at our disposal to see if we might be able to get at "the real meaning." Our analysis focused on the first instance (or instances) of Ashrei in the Chumash, and we went through a ton of meforshim, classifying each of their interpretations. Did we arrive at a conclusion? Not exactly, but we DID walk away with a set of findings, some old and some new.-----מקורות:תהלים א:א; פד:ה-ו; קמד:טו; קיט:א-בBDBArtscrollKorenRabbi Lord Jonathan SacksRobert AlterJPS (1985)Everett FoxKlein Dictionaryמנחם בן סרוקר' יונה אבן ג'אנח - ספר השורשיםרד"ק - ספר השורשיםבראשית ל:יגתרגום אונקלוספשיטתארס"ג תפסירר' יהודה אבן בלעםרשב"םאברבנאלספורנור' נ"ה וויזלר' י"ש ריגייוהכתב והקבלהשד"לר' ש"ר הירשמלבי"םנצי"בר' דוד צבי הופמןרש"י - תהלים א:א-----Summer is almost here, and I'm planning to level up my Substack game.

After that, we took another swing at Metzudas David, and concluded with a quick read-through of the Malbim and some final words from Aristotle's Metaphysics.I can't believe it's been FIVE YEARS since I started giving regular post-HS Mishlei shiurim and recording them! Unlike the past few years, I'm going to take a break from Mishlei shiurim over the summer. God willing, we'll resume in September. I hope you keep learning Mishlei on your own, and if you do, I'm always game to discuss a pasuk!-----מקורות:משלי טו:לרש"ירי"דרמב"ם - שמונה פרקים: פרק חמישימצודת דודמלבי"םAristotle - Metaphysics 1:1----------Summer is almost here, and I'm planning to level up my Substack game.
