Rav Eli Stefansky: “They Know Shas Cold” Shas Yiden have a lust for Shas.

Description

Rav Eli Stefansky: “They Know Shas Cold” “Shas Yidden have a lust for Shas.” In the course of his popular daily Daf Yomi shiur on Menachos 71 (Monday, 5 Nissan), Rav Eli Stefansky recalled an incredible anecdote related to this daf, from the time he farhered the gaonim of “Kollel Shas Yidden.” “I was called to give a farher to the yungeleit of Shas Yidden… yungeleit who know Shas cold…” he recalled. “ “One of the questions I asked them was, ‘In which species of tree does the male tree produce the fruit?’ Immediately, there was yelling from all sides, but one thin voice towered above the rest: ‘Tosafos, Menachos daf ayin aleph!’ it cried out. “When I asked whether anyone knew the text of the Tosafos, Rav Dovid Menashe cited the Tosafos verbatim: ‘Hashem yearns for the dates of Yericho… just as the date yearns for its mate, so too does Klal Yisrael pine to serve Hakadosh Baruch Hu.’” But Rav Fenster concluded with a remark that put a smile on the faces of everyone present—and aptly summed up the moment of sheer mastery, as well as the entire mission of Kollel Shas Yidden and its visionary, Rav Avrohom Eisen: “And Shas Yidden have a desire to know all of Shas!” It was a remark that captured far more than brilliance; it revealed a burning passion. In the halls of Kollel Shas Yidden, Torah mastery is lived, breathed, and pursued with unrelenting drive. Their dedication reflects a deeper truth: when Torah becomes one’s heartbeat, even the vast sea of Shas feels within reach.
