Mishlei 17:25 - How a Foolish Son Affects His Parents
כַּעַס לְאָבִיו בֵּן כְּסִיל, וּמֶמֶר לְיוֹלַדְתּוֹ:
Length: 1 hour 34 minutes
Synopsis: This evening (5/18/26), in our Monday Night Mishlei shiur, we learned one of those pesukim that looked suspiciously like many others we've done — recently, in fact. The challenge was clear: would we be able to discover a new insight? We found a hook right away and came up with a lot of promising approaches — with lots of methodology along the way — but nothing QUITE worked ... that is, until a newcomer to the shiur who had never learned Mishlei saved the day by suggesting an excellent interpretation! We then learned a few approaches from the meforshim, but that one innovative idea is what made the night a real success!
