Rabbeinu Yonah's Definition of Chacham (vs. Tzadik)
[גִּיל] (גול) יָגִיל אֲבִי צַדִּיק [וְיוֹלֵד] (יולד) חָכָם (וישמח) [יִשְׂמַח] בּוֹ.
בֶּן זוֹמָא אוֹמֵר, אֵיזֶהוּ חָכָם, הַלּוֹמֵד מִכָּל אָדָם
Length: 1 hour 22 minutes
Synopsis: Last night (12/19/22), in our Monday Night Mishlei Shiur, we were down to a skeleton crew. Instead of continuing in our chapter, we decided to examine Rabbeinu Yonah's definition of chacham, in light of his commentary on this morning's pasuk (23:24). We began with a review of OUR definitions of chacham vs. tzadik, which have been developed over the past two decades of Mishlei learning and are rooted in Rabbi Moskowitz's approach. We then read Rabbeinu Yonah's commentaries on Mishlei 23:24 and Avos 4:1 and attempted to synthesize a unified definition. We managed to do so, with the exception of one sticky point which we left aside. All in all, it was a productive evening, and I'm confident that this will prove to be a good investment for our future learning of Rabbeinu Yonah.
