The Truth Is In The Wine

What’s said in this shiur

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

we shouldn't save the entire world from a fire breathing dragon and if this sounds like science fiction then you should just learn more zoya you'll see some wild stuff uh we have to mention because it was mentioned yesterday that when we mention ideas like this that we talked yesterday about the great torah sage saving the entire world because of a fire 30 fire bolted breathing fire dragon breathing fire dragon as big as a mountain of blackness was threatening to destroy the world and he had a dialogue and told him to get out of here i'm going to chain you down to the mountains of of darkness that if you don't go back to god and tell him that rebbe shimon is here then it's going to be bad for you so it's important to know anytime we mention things like this we have to realize what is literal and we have to realize what is literal and what is allegorical does it mean that every shipment actually saw this dragon and there was 30 streams of fire coming out of his mouth or does it mean that there's a lesson and it's more allegorical so the answer is some of the agaditos are literal and some of them are allegorical but they all have a message they all have a meaning the rambam explains that if a person thinks explains that if a person thinks that none of the madrish none of these of these teachings are literal then he's a fool excuse me if he thinks that they're all of they're all real they all we talk about birds the bar yohane bird there's a bird that shows up in the gemara that is so big that one time this bird dropped an egg and the contents of the egg cracked and it destroyed 300 cedar trees
