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.
This was Shiva has this kid in the Shiva with ADHD. He's a bocher. And the Rosh Yeshiva sits him down and says, "Tell me the truth. How much of the day do you actually learn?" He thinks about it and he says, "2 hours." He says, "Oh my gosh, you're the biggest masmid in the place. It's so hard for you that every hour is 100 hours. You learn 200 hours a day." He looks at him and says, "You just say that to make me feel better." He says, "No, no. It's a pasuk in Mishlei." He says, "No, no, you're just saying it." He says, "You know what? Let's go to Rav Chaim Kanievsky." Rav Chaim Kanievsky says, "Emess l'Amittai." And please give me a bracha cuz I never met anyone who learns 200 hours a day.
