What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay, good morning. Um, we're going to continue talking about a little bit. Um, there's a famous we said we said is called we said that really Rashi is the one who gave him that title. Rashi calls him, but there's a famous vart. Everyone says it over. I got this sort of writing from the but I'm sure he's not the first one to say it. That the reason why is called is because his two most famous takist they're the ones we're going to talk to today. The most famous was he made number one was that you know wife a number one was that you know wife a person can't divorce his wife against her will and number two that he made that was like that dovetales together with it was that a person is not allowed to marry more than one wife at the same time and felt that that was like a mush for situation in g we're we were even time we were deep into galas a thousand years into galas so made can't divorce us if we don't want to leave He can't take another wife. Hashem can't take a second second nation instead of take a second second nation instead of us. And because of that, it was called like he gave the the strength to to get through golas, you know, to get through their golas. Now that's not actually how the name came, but it's like another touch in the name and it's something that's that everyone says. So today we're going to talk about those those takas.
