Mishlei Commentary Tier-Ranking

This morning (11/18/21) we had a special Mishlei Methodology shiur in which I ranked all the Mishlei commentaries I know of - not in terms of how OBJECTIVELY good they are, but in terms of how valuable I have PERSONALLY found them to be in my OWN twenty years of intensive Mishlei learning and teaching. After explaining the tiers in my ranking system, I go through each of the commentaries, comment on their styles and methods, discuss their pros and cons, and explain why I ranked them as I did. My hope is that this shiur will help those who want to learn Mishlei on their own but don't know which commentaries to use.
