What’s said in this shiur

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

And today there are so many balabatim who are so serious about their hashem and and they're learning. There are these kim for balabatim who get up at 5 6:00 in the morning to sit and learn before they go to work. There shior and night sader at night for balabatam who come back from work and and to dismiss these people. So it's wrong. Just putting it right out there. Why does it happen? Because I think I think I'm speculating here. We don't know history. They would take things for granted. Everything is there for us. Today it's the norm in the from community that people sit and learn Yeshiva. People who don't learn yeshiva today is a cash. But that's a very new phenomena. Even in Europe there was only a fraction of people who sat and learned in yeshiva. People are always shocked when they go and they see the great yeshivas in Europe and they're so small. There was nothing like the mirror in Jerusalem
