I know I’m being nitpicky here, but I don’t like the expression “complaining of weakness” about a gadol b’torah, does anyone know how destitute he is and how much he is likely “sovel” pain/weakness in general? if the gadol hador was saying he was weak he must have been REALLY weak, we’re talking about people who push themselves almost beyond human capability to learn on almost no sleep!
