Mishlei Perek 30
I hope that you’re all well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, Mishlei Perek 30. This is very exciting because we have only one more perek left in Mishlei. This perek opens with the words, “Divrei Agur ben Yakeh hamasah, n’um hagever l’Easi’el, l’Easi’el v’Uchal - These are the words of Agur son of Yakeh, the prophecy, the words of this man Easi’el v’uchal.” There are many levels contained in this verse. As we’ve seen in previous perakim, the Gr’a explains that this was actually wri...

Mishlei Perek 29
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, Mishlei Perek 29. The perek opens by relating that one who deserves rebuke, but runs away from it, will eventually suffer the consequences. Increasing honest righteous people in the world brings it to a better state, while increasing evil brings destruction. Loving wisdom brings your Father, Hashem, joy, but flattery will lead to one’s downfall. Verse 6 says: “B’fesha ish ra mokesh, v’Tzaddik yarun v’sameach - A wicked ...

Mishlei Perek 28
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to NachDaily. Today we’re learning Mishlei Perek 28. This chapter opens with the profound words of “Nasu v’ein rodeph rasha v’Tzaddikim kichfir yivtach, the wicked flee though no one chases them, but the righteous are confident as a young lion.” Many times, people don't even know from what or to where they are running. In the “rat race,” people are constantly on the move trying to catch up to some elusive goal. They never stop to ask why they are runni...

Mishlei Perek 27
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to NachDaily Mishlei Perek 27. This chapter opens with the words “Al tisahallel b’yom machar, ki lo seida mah yeiled yom - Do not brag about tomorrow, for you do not know what the day will bring.” Metsudos and Rashi explain that you shouldn't be so certain about tomorrow’s occurrences because we cannot know what the next day will bring. Psychologically speaking, why worry about tomorrow when you can live in the present? We often use our minds to think ...

Mishlei Perek 26
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, with Mishlei Perek 26. Unlike the previous perakim that we’ve learned, this one has longer allegories spread over many pessukim. The chapter opens by urging us not to give honor to a fool. Not only is it improper, but giving honor to someone who’s ignorant is like “snow in the summer,” completely unproductive. A fool is like rain during the harvest, like a wandering bird. Certainly engaging in conversations with cynical...

Mishlei Perek 25
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, with Mishlei Perek 25. The perek opens with the words “Gam eileh Mishlei Shlomo asher heitiku anshei Chizkiah, melech Yehudah - These, too, are Shlomo’s proverbs, which were copied down by the men of King Chizkiah of Yehudah.” The Meforshim differ about the history behind this. We know from the end of the last perek that Mishlei contains words of wisdom from people other than Shlomo. The Gr’a notes that this verse actua...

Mishlei Perek 24
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, with Mishlei Perek 24. Shlomo Hamelech opens the perek by advising us not to be jealous of people who are on the wrong path of life because the purpose of this world is to build a house with wisdom and fill it with knowledge. Verse 3 says, “B’Chochmah yibaneh bayis, u’vis’vunah yiskonon - A house is built by wisdom and founded by discernment.” Al pi chassidus, this is referring to the way that Hashem created the world. ...

Lag Baomer 2019: The Greatness of Rebbe Shimon
Welcome to NachDaily. Today I would like to discuss the inyan of Lag Ba’omer and the greatness of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai. Hopefully through this we can start to appreciate and connect to the one of the great Tzaddikim of all time. The Gemara in Sukka 45b brings: ואמר חזקיה א"ר ירמיה משום רשב"י יכול אני לפטור את כל העולם כולו מן הדין מיום שנבראתי עד עתה ואילמלי אליעזר בני עמי מיום שנברא העולם ועד עכשיו ואילמלי יותם בן עוזיהו עמנו מיום שנברא העולם עד סופו Rabbi Shimon Bar Yachai said. “I can exem...

Mishlei Perek 23
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily, Mishlei Perek 23. In this perek Shlomo warns us in a strict manner as if he's speaking directly to us about our behavior, and gives us divrei mussar. The perek opens by relating that we should not be obsessive about food and dieting, constantly being consumed by it. If we sit to eat with a “ruler,” aka the yetzer hara, we should try our best not to crave more than we really need. Shlomo Hamelech goes on to talk about th...

Mishlei Perek 22
I hope you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily with Mishlei Perek 22. The chapter opens with the words “ Nivchar shem me’osher rav, mikesef u’mizahav chein tov. Ashear varash nifgashu, oseh kulam Hashem - Better a good name than a great fortune, a pleasing demeanor than silver and gold. Rich and poor meet - God makes them all.” The Ibn Ezra and Metsudos explain that a person should not look up to a rich person and look down at a poor person because even the most inte...

Mishlei Perek 21
I hope that you’re all doing well today. Welcome to another episode of NachDaily. Today we’re learning Mishlei Perek 21. The perek opens with the words “Palgei mayim lev melech b’yad Hashem al kol asher yachpotz yatenu - The heart of a king is like streams of water in God’s hand. He inclines it in whichever way he desires.” The Gr’a explains that just as water can split into two streams, Hashem uses the king's heart for good and bad. The Malbim relates in a lengthy manner that a king’s free choi...

Mishlei Perek 20
Welcome to another episode of Nach Daily, with Mishlei, Perek 20. In this perek Shlomo Hamelech continues to describe the derech tova v’hara, the positive and negative paths of life. Those who are lazy and do not plow in the proper time will have nothing to harvest when they actually need to eat. The deeper meaning is that this world is the time to plow with Mitzvos, Torah and Tefilah. When we fail to do that, we’ll have nothing to “feed” our neshamas in Olam Habah when the time comes for us to ...

Mishlei Perek 29
Welcome to another episode of Nach Daily with Mishlei, Perek 19. The perek opens by telling us that it’s better to earn an honest living and be poor than to be wealthy through deceit. Verse 2 says, “Gam b’lo da’as nefesh lo tov, v’atz b’raglayim chotei – It’s not good for a person to be without knowledge, and he who rushes his steps, sins.” The Malbim relates that people usually sin not because they are fools, but because they lack da’as, true knowledge and understanding. The more we understand ...

Mishlei Perek 18
Welcome to another episode of NachDaily. Today we’re studying Mishlei Perek 18, which contains 24 pessukim. In this perek, Shlomo continues to point a person in the direction of goodness and warns of the perils of cynicism and negativity. A person who detaches himself from God has a deeper motive: to pursue his own desires. A smart person will be able to see right through the “intellectual arguments” of the non-believer and understand that the entire reason for denying God is so that he can live...

Mishlei Perek 17
Welcome to another episode of Nach Daily. Today we’re learning Mishlei Perek 17 which contains 28 pessukim. In this perek, Shlomo Hamelech continues to point us to a good true path of life, cultivating positive and healthy attitudes and behaviors that will bring us to live a moral, honest life, connected to God, while simultaneously warning us of the pitfalls of moral corruption and negative actions. Shlomo begins by relating that it’s better to be poor and at peace than to be wealthy and embatt...

Mishlei Perek 16
Welcome to another episode of NachDaily. Today we’re learning Mishlei Perek 16, which contains 33 pessukim. Shlomo Hamelech opens this perek by speaking about the need for a person to set his mind, heart, and actions on serving Hashem. Not only does one need to think about God, but needs to act in accordance with Halachah and Hashem’s will. Ultimately every circumstance in which we find ourselves, and every emotion, can be used to serve God. As it says in passuk 4: “Kol pa’al Hashem la’ma’aneihu...

Mishlei Perek 15
I hope that everyone had an uplifting Pesach. We’re now continuing Mishlei, Perek 15 which contains 33 pessukim. The perek opens with the words “Ma’aneh rach yashiv cheima, u’dvar etzev ya’aleh aph - A gentle reply turns away wrath, but a sharp word incites anger.” The Rabbenu Yonah explains that Shlomo Hamelech teaches here that we need to train ourselves to speak softly to others. Psychologically speaking, beyond hearing actual spoken words, people are listening to the feelings and tones behin...

Mishlei Perek 14
Welcome everybody to NachDaily, covering the entire Tanach one perek at a time. Today we’re learning Mishlei, perek 14. The perek opens with the famous words of “Chochmos nashim bonsa veisa, v’eveles b’yadeha seher’senu - A woman’s wisdom builds her house, but a foolish woman destroys hers with her own hands.” We see that there's a special wisdom which women receive in order to influence and build their homes in a proper way. As steering a ship can be very difficult and require many decisions, b...

Mishlei Perek 13
Shlomo Hamelech opens this perek by contrasting the wise with the foolish. Wise people listen to their parents’ advice, while fools despise it. A person with wisdom is careful not to hurt others with words, while a fool uses words to be self-promoting and tear others down. One who is lazy has many desires that never get fulfilled, while one who is diligent, with steady work habits, flourishes. Many obtain money but still feel as if they have nothing, while others are poor but feel wealthy. Passu...

Mishlei Perek 12
Welcome everybody to NachDaily, covering the entire Tanach one perek at a time. Today we’re learning Mishlei, perek 12. The perek opens with the words, “Ohev mussar, ohev da’as, v’soneh tochachas ba’ar - One who loves moral instruction loves knowledge, but one who hates rebuke is a boor.” Accepting constructive criticism can be very difficult for many, as it's not always easy to hear mussar and focus on our shortcomings. Let’s focus for a moment on the person giving the mussar and rebuke. So man...

Mishlei Perek 11
Welcome everybody to Nachdaily, covering the entire Tanach one perek at a time. Today we’re learning Mishlei Perek 11. Similar in style to the previous perek, this chapter contains verses that contrast each other with good and bad. Shlomo Hamelech tells us that false scales are disgusting to Hashem, but proper ones are pleasing. As it says in the first passuk, “Moznei mirma to’avas Hashem v’even sh’laimah r’tzono, False scales are an abomination to God, but a full weight is pleasing to Him.” It ...

Mishlei Perek 9
Hi everyone, and welcome to NachDaily, covering the entire Tanach one perek at a time. In today's class we’ll be discussing Mishlei, perek 9. Shlomo Hamelech opens the perek by describing a feast prepared by a wise woman. She sets up her house, prepares food and invites guests. She uses the time with her guests to teach them words of wisdom and the value of understanding. The well-known first passuk tells us that, “Chochmos bonsa beisa chatzva amudeha shiva - With all forms of wisdom did she bui...

Mishlei Perek 8
Hi everyone, Welcome to NachDaily, covering the entire Tanach one perek at time. In today's class we’ll be discussing Mishlei, Perek 8, containing 35 pessukim. The opening words of “Halo chochma sikra, u’s’vuna titen kolah - Wisdom calls out and understanding raises her voice,” can be seen as a continuation of the previous perek. The Vilna Gaon explains that this is to contrast man's negative and positive traits. The previous perek spoke about a “woman” who tries to lure people to sin, which can...
