What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Hidabroot - Torah & Judaism’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

In Maggid section, with beginning with Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah. Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah was a rabbi who was very He was the top rabbi, but he was only 18 years old. And ultimately, God does for him a miracle that he should look like he's 70 by getting gray streaks or white streaks in his beard even at the age of 18 in order that he should have the respect from the the people that he needs in order to accomplish what he need to accomplish as a teacher and a leader of the Jewish people. Not exactly what the beauty industry would do nowadays, but this is perhaps the spiritual beauty industry of Hashem. And in that section, I think about it. Think about this. He was 18 years old and he was a leader and a massive Torah scholar. Think about how we talk about and think about youth in our time, right? Oh, they're just Oh, this person this they're supposed to be a kid. Oh, you're just a kid, you're supposed to be a kid. If you think about it, the truth is very different. There's an aspect of that, of course, that is true, but also I think we underestimate the capacity for our kids to actually gain and retain Judaism and Jewish wisdom. We have many leaders throughout our times who accomplished so much, who accomplished so much in terms of obviously their own scholarship, but then in terms of authorship as well. Rambam, for example, Maimonides wrote the famous Mishneh Torah at age 20 something. Ramban Nachmanides, he wrote his famous commentary on the Chumash and he was only age 16.
