Meet the Unsung Hero of Chanukah - ''Shimon Hatzadik''

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.

a specialist says that a person should be mekazek on hanukkah because some gave over to maishabeno satyra so okay so let's begin with a uh a very important comment in the magnet abram of all the most concise of all of them is the magen of ram and one of the reasons is because mugen abram was so poor that he could not even afford to buy paper in fact the commentary magana maganavram was written on the walls of his house that's how poor the mughal brahma was so every word was very measured in the in the language of the magnum and the magin of ram introduces that the young poor children have accustomed to go around to the doors and the homes to collect uh tsudaka to collect hanukkah gelt on hanukkah so the mugen room is reporting to us this ancient custom that the minogue is that uh the kids would go around collecting at the doors says the mug in abram that what's the reason for this custom uva safer if you want to know the reason for this look in the safe for hanukkah now probably did not have the biggest collection he was very poor and if the maggie navram is quoting from another saver he could be sure that that safer is quite authoritative and this was a say for that that i had a hard time coming by it exists on but i had never seen the safer so last night i had the privilege to speak in williamsburg and on my way back so i couldn't help myself i stopped off in this farm store and they have a swarm over there that you're not going to see anywhere else you know they don't
