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.
Okay, what I'd like to do in this year is um is that people are are going around and really wondering what seems to be happening in terms of current events. I mean, it's really when you think about it, it's really incredible. Because it it it seems like a roller coaster. One day >> [clears throat] >> it seems to be on in the sense that Iran is not interested in what the US has to offer. And the next day Iran maybe is interested. But we get the feeling that Trump is certainly trying to push peace. >> [cough and clears throat] >> And uh it's very confusing um for for obviously for many reasons and so on, you know. So I thought that it was appropriate to speak about this. What is happening and why? And of course not based on politics because when you think about the politics, you realize that there's a lot of fools being played for being fools. It's astounding to watch professional politicians being played for fools. And that's certainly uh my opinion and uh I'm sure for any astute observer, this is what he realizes. But the question really is in terms of the divine plan of creation, what is going on here? Is the redemption the Geulah happening or is it not happening? Please somebody make up their mind. And so on. Because one gets the impression that the Gocha doesn't seem to be quite clear should it bring the Messiah or not bring the Messiah? And and so on, you know? So I I think obviously it's very appropriate to speak about that once and for all to clarify what happens at the end of time. You know, and and not before the after the Messiah comes but before the Messiah comes and so on. So that's what I like to talk about. Before I begin, let me
