What’s said in this shiur

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

sons-in-law are very delicate topic and i am at liberty to say what i wish because none of my sons-in-law are here tonight in yeshiva i usually tell the young men that the lord takes revenge on all children than impairments and to a certain extent one could say that regarding fathers-in-law and sons-in-law as well because the relationship is we see it in humish between isro and moshe we see it in tanaka in numerous instances as i'll always mention it it can be a stressful relationship especially if the father-in-law is a very great man father-in-law is a very great man and just as to be the child of a very great father is not always easy and many times the child is equipped by the father we have numerous examples of that in jewish history rebecca abraham the son of the rambam is such an example if ravenous were not the son of the rambam he would be one of he would he would have the reputation of being one of the greatest of the rishoni one of the greatest of the rishoni but because of the fact that he was so overshadowed by his great father and he devoted much of his scholarship and talents and life to defending and explaining the works of his great father so the sun does not emerge in the greatness that he otherwise would be entitled to and he himself makes reference to it in a number of comments of comments suffice it to say that it is hard to be the son of a great father the the goal of vilnius oh son also rebecca abraham was also a great man wrote great swarm did not achieve the mark that perhaps otherwise he would have been entitled to simply because of the fact that his father was the governor of illinois
