Shavuos: The Mysterious Ancestry of David HaMelech

What’s said in this shiur

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

number of years ago, this is among the first first handful of Shiurim that I began to work on. It's really unbelievable material. It was the winter of tough race pay base 1922. And one of the balabatis of Reb Moshe Feinstein Lavrakha fell deathly ill. And he had a very strange sickness. His tongue became completely inflamed. He's about to pass away from this world. He asked everyone to leave the room. And he calls in Reb Moshe. He wants to speak he calls in Reb Moshe. He wants to speak to Reb Moshe privately. He says to Reb Moshe, I would like to tell you the reason that I became sick. Last Shabbos we read Parshas Vayeira. And in Parshas Vayeira, we read about the episode of the daughters of Lot. And we know the daughters of Lot, they were rewarded that who came out of them Moab and then ultimately Mashiach ben David. And I was so troubled by the fact that because these two daughters lived with their father, they were zoche to have Mashiach. It it they were zoche to have Mashiach. It it doesn't make any sense. And it's even worse because they didn't even try to hide it. They were mefarsem. They were mefarsem they they spread it they publicize it. They called their kid Moab from the father. At least have some some shame. At least some have have some sneers. No. No. No modesty at all. And I could not understand why they were rewarded that Mashiach should come from them. And I spoke about the daughters of light the Darchei Beis Zion. That night, the man tells of Moshe had a dream.
