clip maybe you could condense what you said today maybe into seven minutes five minutes we could and the rabbit's eyes open wide he thinks this guy's gonna make him famous he's gonna make a movie out of his russia you so he said you think you could condense the drasha into five minutes rabbi said yeah i think i could do it he said so why didn't you so anyway well i said there's a lot to talk about let's speak a little bit about regained fallacious uh it's almost hard to digest that we were there yesterday i know for a very long time i had a big haitian to go to his kevar khan philadelphia lived 80 years according to some he wrote 82 samara but the list says he wrote 72 swarms so here's a little bit of the history of his development it's not like he became kakambashi overnight in 1828 after his father passed away he was appointed sifta in izmir in 1853 he became the royce of bezdin in 1855 he becomes kakam bashi he began his literary career at a young age at the age of 16. now he writes something that to me was very meaningful and that is it's not like he sat in an air-conditioned room and he wrote and he wrote and he wrote undisturbed he said there's not even one page of his book that he wrote uninterrupted he was constantly overwhelmed by the tsar hatsey but even people pouring out their hearts to him we mentioned yesterday that he felt to rush somebody when somebody wanted his attention would be insulting he gave everybody their attention and nevertheless he made time to squeeze in for his writing but i want to read to you one line that i didn't
