What’s said in this shiur

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

The Mishna in Masechtas Brachos tells us that R’ Nechunya ben Hakanah was מתקן a Tefillah every day בכניסתו לבית המדרש וביציאתו מבית המדרש. When one enters the Beis Medrash every day for his learning, he davens to the Ribono shel Olam for Hatzlacha in his learning, and when he leaves the Beis Medrash, he says a Tefillah to the Ribono shel Olam, thanking the Ribono shel Olam Maran Harav Shach zt”l asked, When someone is leaving the Beis Medrash, where is he going? He is heading out to a world that's the antithesis, the opposite, of everything he acquired in Beis Medrash. He's heading out to the world full of Nisyonos in all areas of life, especially in areas of Kedushah and Shmiras Einayim. Shouldn't that person say a Tefillah to the Ribono shel Olam, Hashem, please give me Hatzlacha when I leave the Beis Medrash.
