This shiur and the continuation in this shiur are NOT normal. A completely new way of looking at the gemara. On Maseches Megilla which is a good preparation for Purim. Reb Tzadok Hakohen writes that the light of every holiday is found in its Maseches. Which puts one in a quandry - What Maseches does one learn to prepare for Yom Ha-atzmaut.
שמעו ותחי נפשכם!
Note: When I praise as shiur I don't intend to praise myself but the Holy Sweet Torah. Shlomo Hamelech already said יהללוך זר ולא פיך. Let others praise you but don't praise yourself. But I may say that the Torah is the BEST.
