Be a Chiddush | Rabbi Elazar Meisels

What’s said in this shiur

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

For a basketball player, there is nothing like the feeling of hitting that game-winning three-pointer with 2 seconds on the clock and your team wins. And if you're a baseball player, there's no feeling like hitting that grand slam home run to propel your team to victory in the bottom of the ninth. And if you're a football player, you have reached the highest heights when you catch that pass deep in the end zone and you go and you catch that ball over your shoulder, and that's the winning touchdown. Game is over. להבדיל אלף אלפי הבדלות, you're a Yeshiva Bochur, how do you reach those heights? And we all know the answer. You say a geshmake Chiddush. You have a Kneitch in a מהרש”א, a Handelrei in Rabbi Akiva Eiger. You got a תירוץ. You were מכוון to R’ Chaim and you even had a ראייה to R’ Chaim. You had a Vort in the רשב”א. That's how you get there, you say a Chiddush. Even a small little Kneitch qualifies as a Chiddush. A yungerman's wife once told me
