What’s said in this shiur

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

and what I said last time is that we're not talking about who's oldest that's not relevant what's relevant is did you survive under conditions that you should have disappeared if you survived on the conditions should have disappeared then we'll need some explanations to why he survived this is this a beer even though I think we could make justified claim that were older than any other functioning to a human culture but that's not necessary to my case and we divided you were survival to two periods or King David to the end of the Second Temple which is about a thousand years I said we started there because it's a compromise with Jewish historians some credit the tradition going back to the patriarchs and by the way I maybe I should use the word Jewish historians these are historians of the Jewish people many of whom are Christians but they do it on the basis of the archaeology and there was a radical group that made the whole love to tease and start with the Maccabees so King David is more or less in between of course that second group is fading because archeology has been very unkind to them but any rate so I'm picking King David because a solid percentage of historians believe the King David was a real person that gives you a thousand years that's the ancient period then from the end of the Second Temple till the present which is approximately 2,000
