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.
People do not realize he has a part in the Messianic process, which is shocking. Yeah, but what he doesn't realize is that he has to understand what that is. He needs a spiritual guidance cabinet. You know, you have secretary of defense, you know, then you need a secretary of environment department, you know, whatever you want to call it, you know. No, he's going to make all kinds of mistakes. He doesn't understand what his purpose is. And that was a Although I heard he said that, you know, in private heard he said that, you know, in private he pointed out that God, but you have any idea what is You could have made a Kiddush Hashem in front of everybody in the planet was watching that guy. The only one was some guy in Zimbabwe he doesn't have, you know, you don't was watching that returns, right? If he would have said Is this on? Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, what happened is an open miracle. Even I have to admit this. Okay, because it's the greatest upset in American history, and it is. American history, and it is. But I want to tell you the only one really who gets the credit is God. So I openly want to thank your mighty as whatever he would call him, right? For putting me into this incredible position with the possibility to do so much good. Then he could have said, "Okay, and I also want to thank, you know, all the other people." That's what he should have done. So, you know, I forget about having a bunch of watches there. But he had a chance to be Mekadesh Shem Shamayim
