sulya
i'll never forget he closes his eyes and
he starts saying go with the suggest and
he starts going into rishonim
and then of course the rambam shah's
forte and he started on one mahalo and
another mahalik and in the front row
right in front the first two rows right
in front of the podium in the front of
the bet midrash apparently that's where
the heavy hitters of ponovich sat
because all the questions and all the
guys that were trying to upload the
share was sitting in those front two
rows and they started bombing questions
and rap shock was up there like a lion
tamer
and he was answering them knocking him
out one after the other

shack catches himself
he opens his eyes
and he looks up and he sees the time

he says
