(ה) עֲנֵה כְסִיל כְּאִוַּלְתּוֹ פֶּן יִהְיֶה חָכָם בְּעֵינָיו: Length: 46 minutes Synopsis: This morning (10/22/26), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began by reviewing what we covered yesterday and exploring a few other original approaches. We then tackled Chazal's explanation from the Gemara through the eyes of the meforshim who adopt it. It took us a while to figure out a coherent explanation, but we finally got there. We concluded by attempting to understand an original approach by Immanuel ha'Romi. We plan to continue our analysis next week (בג"ה). Please feel free to leave your questions, insights, and feedback in the comments! \--- מקורות: משלי כו:ד-ה רש"י - תלמוד בבלי שבת דף ל עמוד ב מצודת דוד רש"י עמנואל הרומי פירוש רס"ג \----- The Torah content for the remainder of October has been sponsored by Naomi Schwartz Rothschild, who writes: "My stepmother was nifteres. She was a mother to me for almost 20 years. She called me her daughter. She was always positive and b'simchah. My Ima also helped and then took over my father's (z״l) Partners in Torah when he had difficulty and then couldn't do it all." May the memory of Chava Leah bas Tzivia Rochel be for a blessing. \----- If you've gained from what you've learned here, please consider supporting my work via Patreon, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal — links below.
