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.
so I wanted to speak a little bit about the month that we find ourselves in the month of shat we've spoken in the past that every month carries with it unique energies every month it's a whole different world and part of the Jewish experience is being awake to those realities so that we can Channel them and I think we mentioned in this context previous months to the degree that a person is not aware of what's actually taking place in the spiritual reality they're they're missing certain very important things that otherwise they could Channel because awareness is everything we've spoken about that I think in many contexts again and again that you can have two people who are doing the same thing and based on their awareness or lack of awareness as to the depth and the meaning behind what they're doing they have two completely different experiences and this is true across like a huge Spectrum going all the way from just a purely cultural experience of Judaism so people keep kanah maybe they have an electric manur you know and it's maybe some cultural symbol they're not even sure what the story is but they do it because their parents did it and the grandparents did it which is a very beautiful thing and on the contrary this F tell us that that itself is indicative of the fact that Kaneka is such a deep that no matter how far a person is from Judaism Kaneka they keep they might have a Christmas tree in the corner also but a manur they have you know because khah uh uh you know the the energy of Kaneka reaches so deeply but that's but obviously that's a very limited experience of Kaneka right but everything is relative because even a a a sort of you say Torah observant
