Wisdom Exposed: Proverbs Part 1 - 1-15

The book of Proverbs, also known as Mishlei, is a collection of wisdom sayings and teachings that offer insights into the moral and ethical values of ancient Israelite society. The Proverbs provide practical guidance for daily living and are considered a foundational text in Jewish wisdom literature.

The Proverbs draw on the rich philosophical traditions of Judaism, including the Zohar, Torah, and Talmud. The Zohar, a mystical text of Jewish Kabbalah, explores the deeper spiritual meanings of the Torah, while the Talmud provides commentary and interpretation on Jewish law and tradition.

One of the unique features of the Proverbs is that they are written in a style that is accessible to all people, regardless of their level of education or social status. This accessibility is achieved through the use of simple language and vivid imagery, which help to convey complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand.

However, the Proverbs also contain many obscure and enigmatic sayings, which require careful interpretation in order to fully appreciate their meaning. This is why it was necessary to write a version of the Proverbs where every verse is deeply explained, in order to teach the innocent.

By providing clear and detailed explanations of these proverbs, the composer of this version sought to help readers unlock the deeper philosophical insights that are contained within the text. He understood that the wisdom of the Proverbs was not only practical, but also deeply spiritual, and that it could offer guidance and inspiration to all who sought it.

The modern tools of today allowed the composer to pick up this daunting tasks. It was inspired by Hashem who guided every step in this process and in fact: Hashem is in the end the composer because we are His humble servants.
