Mishlei 18:22 - Finding a[n Intelligent] Wife = Good + Favor Artwork

The Mishlei Podcast

My name is Rabbi Matt Schneeweiss, and this is the hub for all of my shiurim (classes) on Sefer Mishlei, a.k.a. The Book of Proverbs! Generally speaking we will follow the approach to Mishlei outlined by Saadia Gaon who views Mishlei as a guide for intelligent decision-making in everyday life with the goal of maximizing long-term pleasure and minimizing long-term pain. Each shiur will typically focus on one pasuk (verse), which we will attempt to analyze on our own before turning to the meforshim (commentators). If you have any questions feel free to email me at rabbischneeweiss at gmail. Thanks for listening!

מָצָא אִשָּׁה מָצָא טוֹב וַיָּפֶק רָצוֹן מֵי״י:

In our morning Mishlei shiur (11/30/20 at YBT) we learned Mishlei 18:22, which is either about marriage per se, or marriage to an intelligent wife. We worked out one approach for each reading, and concluding with a rather amusing interpretation which connected our pasuk to the two pesukim that preceded it.
