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

the israelites complained about everything they well they you know weren't satisfied with the food and they weren't satisfied how come they accepted the torah it seems out of character that they said yes i gave a whole lecture about this and this yeshiva las chaves and yeshiva in front of about terrorist scholars maybe i could dedicate next week's i mean it's hard to explain on one foot mean it's hard to explain on one foot i'll say that the people in the desert are called the dar deya the generation of knowledge they were the greatest people who ever lived imagine they accepted the sir mount sinai god came down to them and spoke to them the greatest of the great whatever they thought we can understand that thought in a different level different plateau different plateau a different elevation their ideas and their actions were so above us that we cannot even think under their terms they were to the extent i think we mentioned a few weeks ago that yeah we mentioned a few weeks ago that the time of the giving of the torah they went back to the level of adam and eve when they were created in the garden of eden they had such a great elevation at the time of the terror was given
