What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay, so today we're going to have a Sukkot class. And uh next week there won't be a class. Next week is Chol HaMoed. But the week afterwards, which is going to be Parshas Bereishis, be Ezras Hashem, we will resume the class right here Tuesday 9:30. And it's actually not every year that we have an opportunity to have a class on Bereishis because very often you know, uh some chassidius in the middle of the week or towards the end of the week. But this year we can begin with the I want to welcome everybody. Thank you for gracing us this morning. I know it's a hectic morning with all the traffic and the parking and Yom Kippur and Sukkot action. So thank you for coming. I actually didn't plan I didn't think to give a class today, but there was a vote from the women, yes, so here we are. Let the men build the sukkah and cook and you could learn. Want to also wish everybody a good Yom Tov and a good gebentsht yahr. And a a happy year and a healthy year and a beautiful year. May all your tefilos and all of us, all of our prayers be fulfilled to have your most incredible and blessed and beautiful and bright and expansive and healthy and prosperous year yet. Amen. Tavshin pei dalet is t'heishanus pritzas derech. A year in which everything that has to be breached, open, all the pathways that have to be breached and all the walls that have to come down and all the obstructions that have to be opened, may they all be opened. Today's class is dedicated graciously by Jacqueline Blech. Thank you very, very much.
