What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yitzchok Fingerer’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
It was the last week of high school. I was about to graduate from Adelphia Yeshiva. I was really excited to start the next chapter of my life, I was going to go to Passaic the next year, when suddenly, R’ Dovid Trenk, my Rebbi, walks into the Beis Medrash, sits down next to me, and he says, Yoeli, I want you to stay next year in Adelphia to help build the Beis Medrash. And my heart dropped. At that time, the Beis Medrash consisted of three guys. If I would stay, I'd be the fourth. Wasn't much of a Beis Medrash. And I said: Rebbi, you know I'm going to Passaic next year. I can't stay. He said: Yoeli, please. It's very hard to say no to Rabbi Trenk, so I told him: Rebbi, let me sleep on it. The next day, Rabbi Trenk comes back into the Beis Medrash and he says: Yoeli, get into the car. I said: Rebbi, where are we going? He says: I'll tell you on the way. I get into his station wagon and we start driving down Route 9. As we get onto the Staten Island Expressway, he said: Yoeli, I'm taking you to a Din Torah. I said: What? A Din Torah? He said: I'm taking you to R’ Shmuel Berenbaum, the זקן ראשי הישיבות. We're going to ask him if you should stay next year.
