What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Hillel Eisenberg’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
[music] >> A Torah Anytime original series. Alexander the Great was once marching with his army when he came to a narrow bridge that he would need to cross and right at the front of the bridge there was a Jewish man who was davening. He was lost in his prayer, completely absorbed. The entire army [music] had to wait because of him and eventually Alexander's general loses patience and screams, "Move! Don't you see the army is coming?"
