Extinguishing the Fire | Rabbi Yechiel Spero

What’s said in this shiur

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

[music] tells Yeshiva was founded by Reblazer Gordon some 140 years ago [music] and Reblazer Gordon was Moyer Nephes. He sacrificed his life and spent years fundraising to build the magnificent yeshiva in Lithuania. But in those days, the buildings were built often of [music] wood, or at least parts of the buildings were enough that if a fire would start on one side of the town, would start on one side of the town, within a few hours, perhaps even less, the entire town, the entire village could be destroyed. One time there was a fire in the city of Tels. And the fire was consuming house after house, block after block until it came towards the yeshiva. The firemen of Talshi, one of them, an irreligious fellow, was carrying buckets of water and a hose. And the blazer Gordon turned to him and he begged him and he said, "Please extinguish the flames of the fire."
