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

russia in the parasha of korak begins with a strange statement he says parshazoo your fanny dreschett the madrid [Music] there's one of the classic midrash in the torah is that of rabbitham huma arashi says this parsha has a wonderful interpretations to it in the madrid so on the surface it's not the habit of rashi to comment upon the madrish and not only that when you give a compliment if i tell you you know today you look good [Music] i am implying that there are days that you don't look good and you're never allowed to say that about torah you're not allowed to say this is more important than that this is more beneficial than that we find in fact that the rambam says our custom for instance is to stand when the balcore reads the asaritadvarim the ten commandments or we stand for azir the rambam says if you want to stand then you have to stand for the whole career because uh by standing for certain pieces you're saying that they're more important or greater benefit than other sections of the torah who gave you the permission to make that decision so therefore when rashi says that the parsha zoo yoff and the dresses that this parsha is uh beautifully interpreted in the madrid so all the meforshim are troubled first of all what is there in this parsha that's more to for instance in partial pressures or in any partial in the torah and secondly what does he mean why why does he put our attention to it so this question is discussed in the forge there are no throwaway comments in rashi for us she said it then he's teaching us something so we'll get back to it i hope before the end of this year uh to see why perhaps this parsha is so special and chosen
