The shiur in English

The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 334 words · 2:16. Press a time to hear it said.

0:00 We did this for Rav Fish. - Did you know Rav Fish? - Of course. - Ah, you knew Rav Fish? - Yes. Chacham Avraham Yechiel Fish. - Of course. I knew a hidden tzaddik whom he blessed, that all his blessings would be fulfilled. - Of the Rav...? - No, Rav Fish blessed a certain tzaddik. He told him: all your blessings will be fulfilled. - Ah. Whatever you bring out of your mouth will be fulfilled. - Really. Rav Fish blessed him.

0:25 'He sows righteousness, makes salvations sprout.' I met him, this sage who... May his merit protect us. Amen. He was truly special. Yes, he was very special... He would shout at people, he would shout, yes... Today there is such a practice - someone shames someone else? Which is hard. Today a person will shame someone... Let us accept with love what we go through. That is enough. That is enough. Go ahead, please. Go ahead.

0:51 Please, please. Clap for him, clap! Rabbi Akiva said: 'Fortunate are Israel - before whom do you purify yourselves,' 'He purifies you -' 'Your Father in Heaven,' 'as it says:' 'I will sprinkle pure water upon you, and you will be pure.' 'And it says: the mikveh of Israel is Hashem.'

1:20 'Hashem.' Just as a mikveh... '...purifies the impure,' 'so too the Holy One, blessed be He, purifies Israel.' Clap, clap! Joy! Be strong and blessed - how sweet, what sweetness. He came, he waited all Shabbos. I told him: the Rav is with us here on Shabbos. What joy.

1:48 This is another tractate, after a lot of effort. Well done, well done. How much the Holy One, blessed be He, loves you and rejoices in you. How sweet. Sweeter than honey. In the Shas he is mentioned about 30 times. - Rav Huna? - Rabbi Yonah. And in the Yerushalmi close to 500 times. So seemingly, you see that it is not... As if they mentioned him in passing, not really as if...
