Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 2.5-page article I wrote and published on rabbischneeweiss.substack.com/ on 7/24/25, titled: Masei: Leviim as Countercultural Role Models Against Cancel Culture. What can the Levite Cities of Refuge teach us about cancel culture in "progressive" America today? A lot more than you might think!

With gratitude to Hashem, I’m pleased to announce that I am officially listed as a teacher on YUTorah! Special thanks to Alex K., the sponsor of this week’s content, for suggesting that I make my debut in conjunction with Nach Yomi’s recent start of Sefer Mishlei and for helping make it possible. I’ll begin by uploading all 600+ of my Mishlei shiurim, including shiurim on every pasuk in chapters 10–14, 16, and 18–24, as well as most of chapter 15 and assorted other pesukim. After that, I’ll upload my other shiurim. For now, if you—or anyone you know—are interested in my Mishlei shiurim, you can find them at: yutorah.org/teachers/Rabbi-Matt-Schneeweiss
