Mishlei 25:6-7 - Self-Destructive Self-Promotion (Part 1)
(ו) אַל תִּתְהַדַּר לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ וּבִמְקוֹם גְּדֹלִים אַל תַּעֲמֹד.(ז) כִּי טוֹב אֲמׇר לְךָ עֲלֵה הֵנָּה מֵהַשְׁפִּילְךָ לִפְנֵי נָדִיב אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ עֵינֶיךָ:
Length: 47 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/12/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we began learning a new genre of Mishlei pesukim which is quite common in Chapters 25-29. 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. Tomorrow we'll see what the meforshim have to say (בג"ה).
