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.
Salvichek by JB Salvich and he said this was the early years in America. He said American Jews for many generations did not have the gift of Shabas. Everybody knows the struggle of keeping Shabas here in the past. He says, "But after centuries of sacrifice and commitment and education, finally shabas has taken root among Jews in the United States of America." He says that's true. He said Shabas they still don't have. He said that they had in Europe Shabas they still don't have there's a there's something called Shabas. There's different of Shabas. If you're running of Shabas and you create damage in the shook, there's something called Shabas in there's also Shabas and there's Arav Shabas and then there's Mitso Shabas which is a nightmare because Malava Malika starts like 2:00 in the morning. The Shabas of Kasha is Shabas and then there's Arab Shabas. opening ourselves up for Shabas, getting ready for Shabas. that we say in those who say before it's from you say from Shabas but in many other there's a piece from Z and over there we speak about all the judgments the harsh judgments from the word are removed from Shabas so that oneness can counter oneness. It's very very moving words even they're in Aramaic. Which means as Shabas enters the energy of separates from sitra from the other side and the denim the negativity is removed and we become unified with the radiant holiness of the and he finishes dampen the radiant of the face. Nhiru is light and unpin is the face. I'm saying these words. These are the words that were instituted
