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.

okay so this is hashem's help first of all acknowledging the Greek asset of the shield for allowing us to use this room is our time for Thursday nights um and maybe for other times during the week as well but at least for Thursday nights to be able to have our khabur in a place that's Central familiar um and a place which is I think a little bit for for a number of reasons practical and also just atmospheric I think is and also just atmospheric I think is more conducive to what we're trying to develop as a khaburra as yet men are trying to connect to each other trying to connect to something Central where all of us can uh can connect to Yiddish kite in a very deep level and connect to Shabbos which will be continuing our Shabbos here um but with a new setup and that's what we spoke about which I'm happy about because I don't really like starting something and then stopping in the middle and there's no reason really to do that people are enjoying it but this year are a little bit too long um and if they're too long for me um and if they're too long for me they're certainly too long for for others um and some have voiced that and we're trying to make it so that how much people can come together like we said people don't have so much brain capacity left at the very end of a long week there will be other opportunities for more in-depth shiram um and so we'll continue with our exploration of Shabbos but we'll try to make it more if I bring in style um you know to retire afterwards and generally in a different uh kind of ruach and henceforth that shall be named
