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.

Okay, first of all, this is uh Brham. Welcome everybody. We're here at the site of the Panovich Yeshiva. The Panovich in all of his incredible efforts to rebuild Tory was always motivated because he knew that in Panovich there were institutions of over 1,000 children. You had between this yeshiva the basakov and the various institutions over it serviced over 1,000 people and the panovich rav's dream was people and the panovich rav's dream was to rebuild Jewish life the way it was here in Panovich. Just to give you a little bit of uh insight into the the attitude of the panovich and to his thought process and building Torah. I'm going to tell you a little anecdote and not until today did I discover the rationale behind it. One time uh there's a there's a story Rabbi Wine likes to tell over that when the Punovich once visited Miami Beach, he asked Rabbi Wine to host a parlor asked Rabbi Wine to host a parlor meeting for young couples under 40. So Rabbi Wine, you know, sort of said this is a bad idea. Young couples under 40, they don't have money, they're busy with their kids, they're not financially stable. you you have the wrong um clientele to raise money for yeshivas. Panovich told them just do what I say. Okay. So they organized about 20 young couples. Panovich said I'm not raising money. I'm not here to uh to ask to
