Rav Asher Weiss @TC | Shiur on Mitzvas Milah

What’s said in this shiur

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

So I think we have somewhat a bigger crowd this morning than we usually have and probably it's about the Shabas program and uh and I want to encourage you all to take advantage. So you need to learn five hours or six hours throughout the weekend and I want to give a revolutionary sac if you learn seven hours it's not about tof and there's a heter to learn more than five hours Friday and shabas. So this week's para our story begins our story because the first two parism are about they weren't Jewish. They were giants. But our story starts with the first Jew and that was Abraham Oino. And that is why it is only avoenu our fathers or forebearers. So Aomino obviously was one of the giants of our heritage. How many great things do Kazal tell about Aino? Who could help me out? What was unique about Arou? What did he do that no one else did? Or he was the first. Let's say he was the first. is a detail and I am referring to great things. It's an amazing statement but it's twice as knew. How did he know what the mitzvah are? He performed all the mitzvah on a voluntary basis. No one taught him. His father was had a great father to teach him. Yankeev had a great father and a great zi to teach him and all the coming generations of Jews. So we would expect a ro to be blessed by a kuresh with a life of peace and serenity and she and a utopian life of it was not to be put to test again and again and again.
