Shalom Rabbi Schachter. Many thanks for your contribution to Torah - especially online where I can listen at my convenience. In one of your past shiurim on Rosh Hashana you mentioned a story about 2 communities competing against each other as to the earliest time the shofar was going to be blown - as this would ensure their prayers being answered resulting in whether Napoleon would be successful or not. Each community had a opposite view whether Napoleon would be good for the Jews. In order for their their prayers to be answered the one Rabbi / community moved the shofar blowing to shachris. Nevertheless - as a result the one Rabbi was forced to flee Napoleons officers and he hid and was protected by the opposing Rabbi notwithstanding their disagreement in outlook. You connected this to your Father who you mentioned grew up in a Lubavitch community in Europe yet they always had a Misnagid Rav. I trying to find this shiur but had no success going through about 60 of your shiurim. Do you have any idea which shiur this was and where I will be able to locate this? Much appreciated
