What’s said in this shiur

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

okay so we are picking up in pirkei avos chapter two and we are going to start from mishna and this is really a continuation of some of the previous mishnayos mishnas so we the two mishnas last week actually we're connecting and then the next series are also all connected meaning we're going to see the same sages being we're going to see the same sages being quoted so so last week we did that had five students and he had a specific praise for each of those five students and and then the next mishna that we did um was that he asked a question to them what is the proper path that a person should choose and each of them gave an answer and then he asked them what's the wrong path that a person should choose wrong path that a person should choose and each of them gave an answer and uh we actually connected the praise that he had given to each of them to the answers that they gave so now we pick up from mishnah number 10 and the mishnah says hey um that each of these five students each one said three things now again obviously they said more than three things but there was something special about these three things the one way we can these three things the one way we can say it is maybe these were three things that they would say regularly sort of their their favorite everyone has their favorite teachings what they live by and uh so each of them said three things so each so this mishna will be the teachings of the first one on the list which was rabbi eliezer and the second mishnah will be the teachings of rabbi yoshua who was the second one on the list and the next one hopefully we'll get to will be rabiose and again
