What’s said in this shiur

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

I'd like first to uh dedicate this year. This year should be a a blessing and a merit for the health and success of the families of Regina Basio Ruain and Yesh Ben Israel Wolf Bes and By Wolf Ruin Ruin Ben Regina for Flema and also le Bento Esther. Okay. You [snorts] know, I thought that since we speak so much about that since we speak so much about Messiah that to talk about something which is a really very important topic and to explain that topic certainly in terms of what the divine agenda is, the divine plan you know and that is what is the raernish's actions or behavior actions or behavior based on throughout world history. I think it would be very informative and very instructive to understand what are the principles that guide in that sense or that the reveram adheres to throughout history and I wanted to do that and also especially within the context of today's time but it in many ways it's a very fascinating topic to ways it's a very fascinating topic to understand. So first of all you should know that there are what's called four hanhog of God there are four behaviors or four actions that God takes okay throughout history and knowing that will help us understand the rationale of God what his objectives the rationale of God what his objectives ives are and in other words why things occur and so on that they're not accident they're not chance [snorts] they have specific functions or purposes of why God allows them to happen in fact he causes them to happen and that sort of will round out in many ways current events and and history in
