Shalom and welcome to our podcast, where we distill Torah wisdom and apply it to our everyday lives. Today, we're looking at Proverbs 19:8: "He who acquires wisdom loves his own soul; he who preserves understanding will find good."
What's the underlying message here? It's about self-care but not in the modern sense of the term. It's about nourishing our spiritual selves by acquiring wisdom. When we engage in learning, when we seek understanding, we are, in essence, showing the deepest love for our own souls.
And notice how it doesn't stop at acquisition. The verse continues, "he who preserves understanding will find good". It's not enough to just acquire knowledge. We must strive to understand and internalize what we learn, to let it guide our actions and decisions. And there's a promise attached to it: we will find good. This is not just material good, but a deeper, spiritual good, a sense of fulfillment and purpose.
In our busy lives, let's remember to take time to acquire wisdom, to seek understanding, and to let it guide our actions. This isn't just an act of self-love, it's a path to finding true good.
Thank you for joining us today in seeking wisdom from the Torah. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
