Transcript

This Torah class is brought to you by TorahAnytime.com. You tell a guy you're a letz. What do you want? Yisnacher. That's all you got from that conversation. Hechach l'chacham. I've told you over many times, al pi Torahs imecha, shma b'ni musar avicha, that my bubby gave me a lot of lessons. She was a radener, radener megaleh. You hung around the Chofetz Chaim. By this time, you should know already that the bubby hung around the Chofetz Chaim, okay? You hang around the Chofetz Chaim, even your words, your sichas chulin, it's a whole different world. So I remember someone—let's, it wasn't me, that much I'll tell you, it wasn't me. The bubby found him reading a bichaleh that he shouldn't have been reading. And yes, it was not me. I don't want you to think, oh, no, it was not me. I was present at the musser shmooze that this person got, okay? Just for argument's sake, a name, David, and it's not his name. So the guy who knows what the story happened to, you see, I'm covering up the identity, okay? David and me are sitting and eating breakfast. Then the bubby's feeding us, and, Davidel... ...ist a chazak gutte kind, ist a chazak choshuve kind, ist a chazak chacham. Never forget those words. Those words hit me. You're smart. Forget about even yiras Shamayim. It's not even for your intelligence. You see what she did? Not she put him down, hayitachen. She was telling him, ...maylis, and on top of me, al kol, you're a chacham. You're wise. It's not, it's not l'fi chvodcha. Try that in a musser shmooze, rabosai. It's 100% guaranteed success.
