What’s said in this shiur

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

let's try to um uh accomplish as much as we can so I call this a type of sheer it's like a combination of P and J It's a combination of all three yesterday we discussed the fact that the Torah does not explicitly say that y spent 14 years learning in Thea sh so let's just reiterate just a few points for those who might not have been here um just the basic details of the story let's look at number one let's just look at the words of the met up with the place this place is the and he went to sleep because the sun had set he took from the stones of the place he put them under his head and he slept in that place so Rashi points out out it says he slept in that place that implies that previously he did not sleep Rashi says who he slept in that place it's exclusionary he slept in that place the 14 years that he learned in the of he did not sleep at night why he was involved in learning Tyra 14 consecutive years during the daytime during the night time Yakov went 14 years without sleeping at night by the way if you want to know and and maybe this is one of the big lessons to learn from this particular she and you know kazal know have certain traditions in other words the PK doesn't say that he learned 14 years but this is the tradition of kazal from har but if you're perceptive to the nuances of the text you could very often see Illusions in the words to what kazal teach us for ex for example the one of the great points out that if you take the last letters
