What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Good evening. I'll speak about a few different things today. I saw actually something interesting for we speak about the parashah. I saw something very interesting. That First we know there's a famous Hazal, our sages say not to say everything from the Torah in front of ignorance and fools. front of ignorance and fools. Not everything you're allowed to say in front of fools. Not everything you're allowed to say in front of ignorant people. Why? Because ignorant people unfortunately some of them, maybe not all, but some of them a large portion of them think that they know a lot. And that's a very dangerous combination. When someone that knows a lot thinks he knows a lot, it's also not good cuz no one knows even 1% of what he should know. know. That's besides the point. But when someone who knows nothing basically nothing, he thinks he knows a lot cuz he heard a little bit here and a little bit there and one tape over here and and 15 minutes over there, that's become like a dynamite. Sometimes not to know at all it's better than to know a little. Because when you don't nothing, then someone ask you, "Do you know anything about Torah?" You just say, "No, I never learned it. It's not my field." learned it. It's not my field." When you learn a little bit, if you're a person with arrogance and ego, it becomes very dangerous because the little that you know allows you in your mind to go against giants. Against people that learn 30, 40, 60 years for many, many hours every day. They have oceans of knowledge and you don't even have crumbs of the cookies in your brain, you know, as far as knowledge. And you allow yourself too much and that's a very dangerous thing.
