What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yaakov Klein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

great let's jump into it so now we can see the source and we begin where we're up to 113 we are about a third of the way through the safer and it's just incredible that we've been taking this journey together for this long this consistently it's a tremendous and privilege so over here has a very difficult teaching it's difficult both both because um it's difficult to understand what he's actually saying and we're going to try to interpret it a little bit as humbly and and and and as best as I can and it's also difficult because the content is challenging because is speaking over here about a tragedy and ordinarily you know if a person hasn't experienced something difficult particularly it's it's not really right for that person to comment on it um in any significant way because they don't really know what that experience is you know so they can speak about it but always with the um the the the preface to the fact that they're just commenting on someone else's experience not having experienced it personally themselves over here is going to be speaking about a a tragic condition and experience that he himself experienced and that is namely um the loss of his wife the loss of his wife is becoming a widower and that's what this teaching is and he says the world says that a person who the master of Heaven and Earth desires I'm going to try to interpret this in a minute wants Ro wants to turn this person into a Nar which is a little bit difficult to translate um on the surface maybe it means youth sometimes it has a negative connotation right like in yides they call narish kite right so not a Hebrew word but it comes from the Hebrew word so it means childishness but N is a is is a youth
