Mishlei 15:29 - Mishlei's Advice for Getting Your Tefilah Heard (Part 2)

רָחוֹק יְיָ מֵרְשָׁעִים וּתְפִלַּת צַדִּיקִים יִשְׁמָע

Length: 48 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/29/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began with my own take on the pasuk, which overlapped several of the explanations from yesterday. We then learned some meforshim which ALSO overlapped yesterday's explanations, before doing a somewhat deep-dive into the Meiri's understanding of the word תפילה. We concluded with R' Sheishes's practical idea about tefilah, paired with an excerpt from R' Eliezer Berkovitz on tefilas shav. All in all, I was delighted to see how my favorite subject of Mishlei was able to shed light on one of my other favorite subjects: tefilah!

Mishlei 15:29 - Mishlei's Advice for Getting Your Tefilah Heard (Part 1)

רָחוֹק יְיָ מֵרְשָׁעִים וּתְפִלַּת צַדִּיקִים יִשְׁמָע

Length: 34 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/28/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we took up one of only three pesukim in Mishlei that explicitly reference tefilah. The problem with this pasuk is glaring: it seems SUPER obvious! To my surprise and delight, we came up with a ton of questions, and also managed to develop several fruitful approaches. Looking forward to seeing what the meforshim have to say tomorrow (בג"ה)!

Mishlei 15:28 - The Utterances of the Tzadik and Rasha (Part 2)

לֵב צַדִּיק יֶהְגֶּה לַעֲנוֹת וּפִי רְשָׁעִים יַבִּיעַ רָעוֹת:

Length: 44 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (5/22/25), in our morning Mishlei shiur, we began by examining a "hot take" translation of our pasuk, which we ended up rejecting. After reviewing the questions and approaches from yesterday, we delved into the meforshim, taking up questions of methodology along the way. Although we didn't FULLY develop any of the new approaches, we discussed them enough to find practical takeaways.
