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

[Music] Page 15, page 1 Today we see once again a wonderful message. We have seen it several times. How important every good deed of a Jew is, and even something that seems small to us to the poor. We see today that if you have a stockpile of wine of a donation that is being wasted and flowing into impure profane things, that is, even the sick are destroyed, the donation is also destroyed. As we see today, the question is whether I can receive today, the question is whether I can receive the donation in an impure vessel. In fact, I will profane the donation but will it save the profane or not. Then the Gemara says this: If you can, if you have the possibility of saving the donation and even a fourth of it in a pure vessel, do not dare to defile it, even though in the process of going to bring that pure vessel, the donation will go down into the profane and will be wasted. The profane will also lose, and she too, I am not interested. As long as you can return and save even a fourth of it in purity, that is great, but at the end of the day, the person will come back and say, "What have I done? I have just destroyed so many profane things. I have saved so much
