Mishlei: Chapters 1-5

Shlomo HaMelech, the “wisest of all men.”

Sefer Mishlei, authored by Shlomo HaMelech, is his collected wisdom. It is a book of metaphors, where every pasuk is multi-layered with meaning. It is a primary source of mussar that is quoted in Torah literature. It is the wisdom of the Torah made real, relatable, and understandable.

Mishlei: Metaphors for Living explores the first five chapters of Shlomo HaMelech’s work through the lens of Midrashim, Gemaras, and classical commentaries, allowing today’s reader to access the extraordinary — and eminently relevant — wisdom within.
