What’s said in this shiur

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

Hello. >> Hi. Let me just get the text here. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh let me move this here screen. Okay, fine. Uh, >> all right. So uh we're talking about uh Titus and Titus was came and he was the general who took over from Vespatian and he was one actually destroyed the beta mikdash and he took the loot back from the uh from the beta mikdash to Rome where he was going to celebrate his victory. So um the the Gmorrah continues here. It says it is further that Titus that he was once traveling traveling once at sea. Um not so it says it was traveling back from Israel to Rome and a wave rose up against him and threatened to drown him. Titus said it seems to me that their god the god of Israel has power only in water. Pharaoh rose up against him in Egypt and he drowned him in water. Sisu rose up against him. Sister was a general who lived in the land of Kanan after the Jews started conquering it. And he was the um the general of the city of Katsur and uh when the he rebelled against the Jewish conquest of the land of Israel and a very mighty army and he was swept away by a river which swept out him and his chariots to sea. So the uh so Cicero was against me, he drowned him in water. And here too he has risen up against me to drown me in water. So uh if a person is an idol worshipper, a pagan so then he believes that different gods have different powers and the the god of the Jews maybe has power
