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.
The title of today's class is two words, the sleepers in Hebrew, Hayesim. Today's class is dedicated by Stanley Frerieded in memory of his dear wife Sarah Miriam Basav in tribute to her first yard site on the sixth day of Shvat coming up this Shabas. Even now a year after her passing the whole family feels the void of the warmth and love that she brought into her home and community. Her impact will forever be lasting, impacting many people. Her legacy of hospitality, generosity, non-judgmental openness will always be a part of their lives and the lives of all who knew her. dedicated with immense love and gratitude by Yehuda, Usher, Ley, Ben, Alisa, Elena, Kaim, Freed, and their families and may indeed remain an eternal source of blessing and inspiration and empowerment. Thank you. You want the children anyway? Okay. I said that the title is the sleepers. So, uh I did it to myself. Nobody will be able to sleep. I once heard a rabbi from South Africa speak about an experience he had. If it actually happened or it was just a joke, I don't know. I never asked him, but it's certainly uh pretty funny. Basically, he would get up every Friday night in South Africa and Johannesburg and give his sermon to a very very large crowd in South Africa. Everybody comes to shul Friday night, even those who don't come Shabas day. Friday night you come to schul. It's very traditional community in that sense. And that's when the main sermon is. So he would get up to give his sermon and this fellow on the front row sitting in the front row was older man his name was Burkowitz the rabbi would start talking and at some point he would fall asleep but this was like a sacred tradition midday shabas bishabat every
